Did not stay at property. Attempted to checkin twice and was unsuccessful. First time was told that power went out in all of Big Bear. Which was a lie. Second time a few hours later, waited for front desk clerk for 30 minutes along with 10 other individuals. Phone lines did not work. Front desk clerk never showed up. I was forced to book another hotel for the night. I was unable to cancel reservation as the option on Expedia was no longer an option amd could not get a hold of hotel clerk. I was charged for the night even though I never stayed. Will be contactjng Better Business Bureau and filing a complaint.

Bad customer service.

It was an unpleasant stay due to staff being unhelpful as the power went out for several hours. Customer service was horrible. At this hotel. Front desk hung up on me twice without hearing my concerns.

A portion of Big Bear City had a PLANNED power outage because of a storm coming. Motel 6 staff never notified customers of the power outage. When myself and numerous other arrived to check in, they could not check anybody in because of no power. By 8pm still no power and the storm had hit. Snow blizzard with freezing temperature. Numerous customers were stranded in the Motel 6 parking lot for hours trying to figure out what to do. At some point the Motel 6 staff left the property. I was forced to drive 4 hours home at night in the blizzard.

Pay a bit more and stay elsewhere

Room was very dirty. Low water pressure making taking a shower almost impossible. Shower water would literally reduce to a few drops if neighboring rooms used their water. When trying to call front desk, phone was dead. This is the first time we’ve ever stayed at a place so run down.

Someone used the room next door as a dog sitting service. Let two dogs stay there and barking all night. To my surprise the staff was unable to do anything about it. Horrible experience. Never again. The walls are paper thin. Above our head we had people stomping all night long doing god knows what. Paying premium for a hotel next time for sure!

Would not stay here again.

One of the beds didn’t have a fitted sheet on it. They used a regular sheet to cover the mattress, but it kept slipping off. We had to ask for towels daily. Housekeeping never came by. We asked the front desk, and they said they charge an additional $45/night if you want housekeeping. Otherwise housekeeping only cleans your room after you check out. We were never informed of that when we booked the room or when we checked in. The ice maker was broken, so you had to get ice from the front office. The people above us were jumping and walking around until 2am. When we asked the front office if they could ask the family to be more respectful of people sleeping below them, the office did nothing.
