Not that bad of a stay it was very comfortable overall.
Pros:

I liked how it had nice lights in the night and it wasn’t that bad to get inside overall.

Cons:

I was just confused for a moment to open the shower but figured it help the staff helped for a tip in the office.

It’s a good location but for the price they are asking for it is not worth the money. The rooms are dirty and there are
Pros:

The location was good compared to the mountain and downtown.

Cons:

The rooms were dirty. The sheets had stains all over them and old hairs. Asked for new sheets and those were given to us but were unfortunately just as dirty. There was weird stains on the walls too.

Motel 6 lives up to its reputation. Spend more and stay at one of the local hotels.
Pros:

No remote in room for TV (had to ask the front desk for one), Phone didn’t work, dirty baseboards, shower floor was visibly dirty, hole in bathroom door, and the bed was collapsed on one side making it lumpy. We also had ants in the room.

Cons:

The location wasn’t bad.

Very disappointed in this filthy room.
Pros:

It was located away from the bustle, but still close to everything.

Cons:

Filthy, tiny and inconveniently arranged room. Suspect the sheets had not been changed, shower not cleaned, towels stained, comforters dirty. Grime on the walls, crumbs on the fridge.

Low-price budget accomodation (a place to sleep & stay warm on a cold night)
Pros:

Thank you! We stayed warm inside (on cold nights of ~ 27F degrees). Two beds. Mini fridge and microwave. A hard chair at desk. Shelves. Heater unit. Price - maybe the lowest (or near lowest) in town. Warm/hot water (sink and shower). Very close to main road (Big Bear Blvd), Adjacent to Big Bear snow play (tubing) property - got to see man-made snow blowers & cats pushing snow in morning & colorful lights at night.

Cons:

Toilet sprayed water out at us. Light switch at bedside (x2 lights) didn't work. Beds were "full" size I think (not queens). Only 1 chair in the room. No drawers. Not bathtub (shower only). Difficult to get & maintain near-constant room air temperature using wall heather: went from too hot at 70, to too cold at 65 (the first night of sleep). Little/no views from window. Our door's deadbolt did not work.

Cigarette and marijuana smoke smell outside. Office staff dressed very casually (no uniform) - e.g. in casual shorts, t-shirt, etc. His communication struck me as rushed / hurried.

Drives into town (e.g. Stater Bros grocery store, Snow Summit or The Village) involved sitting in traffic up to Stanfield Cutoff.

Thank you!
