Motel 6 Big Bear

Okay

All that we liked about this place was the location and staff. Near some snow grounds, near some markets and shopping, and relatively close to the main village walk. We had movie channels which was nice when getting ready. Okay for one night as we did, just passing through. The staff was nice and helpful and check out time was great at noon, with no extra charge.

The room itself was bad, it was nonsmoking but reeked of cigarettes, it was stuffy and smelled weird in the restroom. The room was bare and poorly kept. The bed was more like a stiff couch with a couple of thin blankets. No a/c or heat which made it very cold, wish we had an extra blanket. You can hear EVERYONE else in the building.

LOCATION WAS GREAT

PEOPLE WERE INCONSIDERATE OF OTHER GUEST. WALKING PAST OUR ROOM AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT AND MORNING BEING REALLY LOUD AND RUDE

It is cheap and has the necessary things to stay confortable.

very close to Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. Affordable, given the area and time of year.

Convenient location. Easy to get to and close to stores.

Pretty clean room but it smelled like cigarettes and shower could' have been cleaned better.

We liked the location and acceptance of our small dog.

I would recommend that there, at least, be a central location for a microwave oven. A small refrigerator in the room would also be welcomed.

Comfortable beds, clean room, bathroom fixtures looked relatively new, excellent internet price per night. Courteous staff. Check-out lady nicer than the check-in lady.

Although listed as a non-smoking room, it still smelled of smoke. From what I am told, you almost need to replace carpet, drapes and repaint the room to get rid of that prior smoking room smell. Before going to sleep we left the fan running and the window open for several hours, but that barely helped. If it weren't for the smoke smell, my ratings would all have been higher. But the nose-burning residual smoke smell does nothing to promote one's comfort if you are a non-smoker. Don't think it's a good idea to provide an ashtray, even if it does have the no smoking symbol printed on it. I considered asking for a different room, but when we returned from the timeshare where the rest of the family was staying it was very late.
