Top Big Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Big Bear Frontier

Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent
"The internet does not show that the resort is under construction. We stayed in the hotel portion instead of an individual bungalow. However, we were not disturbed by any construction noise. The hotel section was very nice, clean and had great air conditioning. I would suggest putting a clock on the nightstand. Also, even though checkout is 11am, our key was disabled when we returned from breakfast at 10:45am. We had to drive to the office and get the key reactivated so we could get our belongings. But I would stay there again. It's in a very good location."

Studio 9 Big Bear

8/10 Good
"Room was clean except for tub had some mystery debris on the rim. A lightbulb was burnt out on bedside table. There was an exposed door to the adjoining room which opened to the other room-the door to the other room was closed thankfully. A mini fridge in a motel is always appreciated but the room unfortunately, didn’t have one. What mattered was ultimately that the bed sheets were clean, the ac was cold and the tv was big! Overall a decent stay for the price."
