Rooms are usually always available & the price is right if you're just looking for a place to sleep. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The rooms are simple and clean. Absolutely no frills, so if you're expecting something fancy, this is the wrong place for you! The grounds are very rustic, just as the rest of Big Bear is, so you won't find fancy landscaping, it's totally appropriate for the area.
Dogs are always welcome at no additional charge, which is awesome! No other hotels have this perk to my knowledge. Highly recommended if you just looking for a clean, affordable, and convenient motel close to the village in Big Bear (although not quite walking distance).
