Murder Motel
Pros:

this place is awful. I felt totally "Cat-Fished". Nothing like the pictures, pool was a mud hole and behind a locked fence, no deadbolt on the door to feel safe, no A/C but you also can't open the windows because the screens have holes, ceiling fan in the room but makes a noise when it runs, no coffee pot, no where to put your clothes, floors were dirty which we discovered when we wiped up water from the cooler we brought with a washcloth (no hand towels either). No office staff to speak to hence the virtual check in. Have no idea what it is doing on this website.

I love this Lodge!!!
Pros:

I absolutely love staying here at the Snow Bear Lodge, it’s always very clean. The morning cleaning crew is very nice and helpful. This lodge is literally across the street from where we dock our boat, and close to the community park. I just wish their pool was filled so we didn’t have to make friends next door, to swim after hours from the lake

Pros:

Our stay was very disappointing. We were told the pool was going to be available, and it wasn't, the place looked abandon, the front desk was closed, so their was no one there to speak to about our check in. This place was suppose to be a hotel & cabin, and the cabins & rooms looked run down.

Superb
Pros:

It’s a great location! It feels private and quiet but it’s super close to the village and other things. It’s definitely not anything super high end but perfect for a one night sleep. I definitely will go back.

Cons:

The bed frame was super squeaky and the pillows could be replaced. Also the shower was pretty intense and there wasn’t a way to change the way the water was coming out - it was a really strong mist that was kind of painful and it made for a very wet bathroom environment. Everything got soaked.

A Great Value
Pros:

It was super close to Big Bear Mountain. It was clean and felt safe. There was contactless check-in. It was very clean, even the ceiling fan didn’t have dust on it. There was a lovely gas fireplace.

Cons:

My room didn’t have a smoke detector.

Avoid this place
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We got there to find the whole facility abandoned, no vehicles in the car park and nobody at reception, we also hadn't received our check in information. After phoning for our room info we got sent to a room somebody else was staying in and promptly left the premises and stayed somewhere else. The facilities were appalling.

Cheap facilities, noisy stay and uncomfortable bed/pillows
Pros:

The room was close to the village. Easy parking

Cons:

The faucets were cheap and hard to turn on/off. The room smelled of aerosol disinfectant. Awful smell. The polyester comforters were too hot. The pillows were hard and uncomfortable. There was the sound of running water in pipes all night long. No one slept well.

Good value!
Pros:

The room was comfortable and as advertised, spacious with a table and chairs, little kitchenette area and a fireplace. Good location, walkable to many restaurants, bars, stores etc. It is a self check in process and no one is physically on the property, but it was very easy to communicate with staff via text and phone if needed. Parking on site.
