The room wasn’t completely clean when we checked in, we had to borrow a vacuum to clean up debris left from prior guests. The staff lives on premesis but nobody actually staffs the front desk. You have to ring a doorbell & bother them anytime you need something. Since the pool is under lock & key anytime you want to use it you must sign up & ring the doorbell & get the key & the staff just doesn’t seem to want to be bothered. Nobody was rude, but for what seems like a small family run business they don’t seem very happy to be there. The place would be so much better if they would just allow everyone to use the pool without the hassle. Oh and they leave their dogs in a fenced area outside all day & anytime someone walks by the bark like crazy. So forget trying to take an afternoon nap between activities.

Room was dirty. Shelf with coffee pot had dust thick enough to write your initials. Outdoor furniture was too dirty to use. Floor in bath and sink area was dirty, Towel used to wipe it came up black. Bedside lamp was broken, socket hanging off base. Owners little dog yapped constantly day and night. One and done, never to return.....

In short, the room I stayed in was pretty gross. The whole room smelled very musty AND I could also smell the gas from the furnace; the floors hadn't been vacuumed or mopped and there was dirt smudges all over; the toilet hadn't been cleaned and there were marks inside the toilet bowl as well as the seat needing to be wiped down before I could use it; the toilet paper roll I was given had water marks on it like it had been dropped in a puddle and dried out; there was old food left in the fridge; the countertops hadn't even been wiped down, and when I put papers down on the counters they got grease stains all over them. I alerted the office my first morning and asked that they clean the room while I was out for some meetings before 11am. When I got back, nothing had been done and the gentleman at the front desk just said that he had alerted his cleaning crew. I had to work from the room for the rest of the day, so I told him it was too late. The cleaning lady did come by and was very apologetic and very kind, but the gentleman at the front didn't seem to care at all. I hope that this was just an oversight and the room accidentally got skipped for any cleaning beyond fresh towels and sheets, but still, I will not stay here again.

Excellent value for money. Convenient location for Snow Valley. Bit of a drive for Snow Summit/ Big Bear, especially if a snow storm hits.

The inside of the hotel room was adorable but was cold. The fireplace was an electric heater but did not generate enough heat to warm up the small room. Bring your heaters. There was not enough parking in the parking lot. Add more parking and another heat source and our stay would have been pleasant.

Wife and I needed a last minute room overnight on the mountain. Usually this means sacrificing quality for a fair rate. Not so with the Giant Oaks Lodge. We hadn't stayed here before, but we enjoyed the room and the service so much we will stay again. Thank you Bryson for taking care of us and accommodating our oversize parking needs.

Enjoyed our long weekend
We had a great long weekend here. The kids had fun with our hour of the pool each day (each room can book an hour to use it). Not all the walks were scooped initially, but more were cleared each day. Parking lot is a bit tight. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The heat was via the fireplace (controlled by the thermostat). So the bathroom stays chilly (especially if you close the door). It was nice to have three beds (we had a king and a full/twin bunk beds). Just a note, the bottom bunk is tight. My kids couldn't sit up without hitting their heads. It was too claustrophic for all but one of us to sleep there. There are mirrors covering the top half of two of the walls. The mini-fridge had dedicated freezer (and ice trays) which was handy. Huge TV with good channel selection and a DVD player. Warm bedding and nice pillows. Thick bath towels. And a full size garbage can. And floor towels were provided for keeping the wet snow from boots making dirty puddles.

This is a nice and convenient place only 10-12 minutes from Snow Valley. Dining options are very close. There supposedly is housekeeping service, but they never came to our room. There also are supposed to be coffee makers in the room, but we didn’t have one, despite what the manager said. But it is comfortable. Amenities provided: good size fridge, microwave, shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion. If you want to use the pool, you need to sign up in the morning. We didn’t get to use it. Oddly, they only allow one room at a time at the pool. It was supposed to be for the pandemic, but for some reason, that still is the policy.

This is one of my favorite places in Running Springs! If you want to ski Snow Valley, it's perfect! Technically it's not a 5 star with room service, spa facilities, club house. it's 5 star in experience! They do have a pool and jacuzzi. That is a little basic, but again, it's the experience. Very cute touches like mood lights under our TV, fridge & micro in a compact area, and closet that is well equipped.

The heating was powerful but stopped working for a few hours in the morning but we didn't lose much heat as the room was insulated well until the heater was back on. The fixed shower head is not the best with small kids.
