Top Big Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Big Bear Lake, CA

Motel 6 Big Bear Lake, CA

8/10 Good
"To be fair this is an older building so don’t expect to much rooms are small. I’m happy to share that things were very clean inside and I wasn’t worried while I slept. So in this case I would say you get what you pay for. If you just need a quick layover for a night or two then it definitely works for that but nothing extra to right home about."

Studio 9 Big Bear

8/10 Good
"Room was clean except for tub had some mystery debris on the rim. A lightbulb was burnt out on bedside table. There was an exposed door to the adjoining room which opened to the other room-the door to the other room was closed thankfully. A mini fridge in a motel is always appreciated but the room unfortunately, didn’t have one. What mattered was ultimately that the bed sheets were clean, the ac was cold and the tv was big! Overall a decent stay for the price."
