I did not receive my check in code or room number until almost 5:00. I contacted the hotel 4 times starting at 10:00 am. By 5:00 we were cold and just wanted to get into our room and warm up with a cup of hot coffee. However there was no coffee maker. The room was nice and the beds were comfortable.

The many blinds were broke on the West wall they fell off in the middle of the night scare the s*** out of us. Couldn't get a hold of anybody at checking they would not answer the phone. People thought we were the office coming up and knocking on the door because there was vacancies. Coffee Maker does not work. The size of my fist in the screen. Because of the location you couldn't open the windows there were so many people no privacy that unit should not be rented out. Overall the whole place should be shut down and refurbished it is really disgusting and it's a sad thing that you're doing to big bear had I seen it looks so run down
I looking for a refund

There was contactless check-in, which was great. We received an email on the morning of our arrival with the code to get into the room. That was great. The area is a half mile from The Village and very walkable. Convenient liquor stores even closer. Price was good. Room is old and dated but clean. Bed was not comfortable and there’s no AC. For what we needed it was fine.

Budget place
Room is decently clean. That's about the only positive. Everything else is old and cheap. If you pay less than $100 a night just to sleep, it's acceptable. If you pay $300+ a night like me, you'll be extremely disappointed.

Coffee shop and pizza within easy walking distance, as well as a convenience store,
which was good because there was no parking, Big Bear was very popular that weekend! Snow left some parking unavailable but they had plowed to clear as much as possible at the hotel. Room stayed cozy and warm, fireplace added to the heat.

We really enjoyed our stay Snow Bear Lodge. Our room was very spacious and we were pleasantly surprised with the bathroom and shower sizes as well. It was perfect for our quick trip for snowboarding. And a quick walk, less than 10 minutes to the village. Would definitely recommend staying here and would book again!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom cabin with the twin beds. Perfect for what we needed! Cabin was clean and comfy! Only complaint was the only tv was in room with the twin beds. Kinda inconvenient for the adults.
Kitchen had dishes and coffee mugs but that's it. No silverware, coffee maker (glad i brought my own), pots or pans. We ate out but in case anyone plans to cook, better bring stuff with you.
We would still stay there again!
