Needs a deep cleaning
The motel was typical and the only redeeming feature was the hot tub. But the main problem is that the room was dirty. Staying there for a couple of days triggered our allergies. The vents were dusty. The utensils in the kitchen were dirty. The floor was dirty

Great price and no minimum stay. The 2 bdrm was great and comfortable. Very clean and great view. Will definitely be back to stay. The reception are could use some clean up and update but doesn’t affect anyone’s overall experience there. I was able to order food while there. Highly recommend the lodge.

The hotel itself is a bit dated, but that adds a bit of charm if you don’t mind a more classic feel. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, which is always a priority for me. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure guests feel at home. If you’re looking for a centrally located, budget-friendly option with friendly service and clean accommodations, this place is a solid choice!

I feel like FSL is over priced for the condition of the property and the rooms. It is pretty ran down and needs a lot of indoor and outdoor attention. -They do not have roll aways (as stated on the Expedia page for $50 a day). - The room smelled of weed badly which I found out if was coming from down stairs below us being sucked in from the air split outside. Informed the desk on check out. -The room was very run down. Carpet, mattress, deck. I wouldn’t return only for the price point and condition. Good for families that need space or babies that don’t want to bother other customers on a vacation.

I really really wanted to love this place but it just kept getting worse. When we arrived check in was smooth. We confirm with the clerk that the pools were heated, however, that was a lie. Our room was super small. The beds were not queen bed but full beds. The water in the shower linger and wouldn’t go down. The room is cute but falling apart and smells old. Tiny little TV…. Bathroom beyond small. Never again .

Pool was shut down for 2 out of our 4 days in 95 degrees. I only rented here because of the pool. The minute the pool was shut down manager put up sign for no refunds or discounts. Really disappointed, very crappy customer service over a holiday weekend and we paid a lot of money because it was a holiday.

We had not stayed at this lodge for several years, but for a special occasion we wanted a lake view, fireplace, hot tub and mini-kitchen area. This room delivered all of that and more! It was immaculately clean and offered air conditioning, plus there was a nice pet area close to our room. It is on the main drag of Big Bear and backs up to a lovely neighborhood for those evening walks. Unfortunately, we found out when we arrived that the pool was closed, which was a disappointment. The staff was helpful but there was a bit of a language barrier on check in.
