The new person there probably needs some training
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I've came to this place for the past four summers and always had a great experience. The person who I always dealt with would give me a deal on pet fee, but they don't anymore. If you stay for awhile it adds up to a lot.

Pros:

Room was average and overpriced, considering the dated quality. Manager said they will be renovating in the near future. Fireplace is non-functional and contains a silly, plastic log insert with a flickering light. Entry door looks to have been smashed open with only rudimentary repairs.

Pros:

My husband and I are not terribly picky travelers. This establishment had a 7.3 rating I believe. It should’ve been a 3.7 it makes us not want to trust your ratings at all! I took some pictures that I can send you if you wish
The manager/owner was a sweet person trying to make a property sustainable. It seems that he’s working with a very limited budget. We wish him all the luck. The property has a lot of potential.
We booked for two nights that were nonrefundable. We spent one night and left very very early in the morning because it was just not a place that we could stay any longer. We do not want our money back. We just want Expedia to be more accurate on their ratings!

Pros:

We wanted mountain rustic, cozy, clean and walkable to a atore or restaurant. It had a great size kitchen to cook in or store our food until the next day. The owner, host was communicative and very welcoming. This is a motel i would stay at again.

Pros:

Our stay at Sherwood Arms Motel was worthwhile! After our first night, we decided to stay another night and Syed (Front office) made it an easy transition for us! He ensured we were accommodated, comfortable, and pleased. We stayed in room 8 and 9 and can definitely say that it was better than a hotel (made it feel as if we were luxuriously camping). Close to Lake Arrowhead, convince store, gas station, diners, etc. Highly recommend and will be back :)

Great Value
Pros:

We enjoyed this quaint space just for two. The place was clean and the new manager, Syed, was most hospitable. He took a special effort in making sure we were well taken care of, and embraces his work with pride and joy. We will definitely come back!

Pros:

The hotel is in downtown Running Springs and is very walkable. Most of the stores are closed except for the market. The floor of the hallway is cracked and could be a hazard cutting people's feet as we are asians and walk barefeet inside the room. The outside door handle is not latchable.

Terrible Place
Pros:

We booked a double bed with kitchen for a family of 4. Upon arrival we were told the room we booked had plumbing issues & we couldn’t check in to that room. The front desk person told showed us two other rooms & said he would honor the same rate. Both rooms he offered us were downgrades from what we booked. The first room didn’t have a kitchen (we booked with a kitchen with the purpose of using it) it had one king bed, I let him know we need two beds which is why we booked a double bed room. He showed us the second option witch had a kitchen but the place had one queen bed. I asked if they had extra mattresses or roll away beds in which he said no. We were so tired from driving & we decided to take the the first option, 1 king bed no kitchen. My son & I had to sleep on the floor during our stay, he only gave us 1 super thin bed sheet, 1 thin comforter & two extra pillows. It was the worst stay we have ever experienced. Woke up with my body aching. Upon entering the room, my son tried to watch tv & we couldn’t watch any of the apps that were set up on the tv. We called front desk, he came & checked it out. He called two minutes later claiming spectrum was having issues in the area which was a lie because our neighbors didn’t have any issues & were able to watch tv in their room. Overall, our experience was TERRIBLE & we will NEVER stay here again. We do NOT recommend this place. We were extremely disappointed.

Pros:

During check-in, the front desk demonstrated a welcoming attitude and permitted early access to our room. Nevertheless, several aspects caught my attention as needing refinement. Upon entering the room, I found the initial door led to a storage area, which seemed misplaced. Moreover, the provision of only one electric fan for a two-bedroom accommodation was inadequate, leading me to incur additional expense by purchasing another fan. Moreover, footsteps from upstairs guests were distinctly audible within my room. Although the venue exhibits positive qualities, certain adjustments are necessary to enhance the experience.
