The area around the hotel was under evacuation order, and the hotel refused to refund our money, even though they were fires all around and it was impossible to get to the property. There should be laws against this.

I loved staying at Sierra Blue! The rooms and common areas are super cute and cozy, everything was clean, and our bed was extremely comfy! Really nice fluffy comforter which you don't always find at hotels and an extra warm blanket. The room had a fridge, microwave and white noise machine (!). We also had a view of the lake from our window which was an unexpected bonus. Parking was super easy right out front and it was really nice we could walk into the village for meals and shopping. The pool area is nice although the hot tub jets aren't working which would have been nice after a hike. My only issues here were our toilet kept running and wasn't flushing properly, and when I asked the person at the front desk to come take a look at it, he never did even though he said he'd be right up. We kept using the toilet in the lobby which wasn't ideal. There isn't always someone at the front desk either, but they do leave a sign with a number to text if you need anything. Overall I'd stay here again and I hope I get the chance to!

New favorite spot
This place is so cute. Love the vibe. The staff are very friendly. The water refilling station was such an awesome touch. We always travel with our reusable water bottles and buy a jug of water but this trip we forgot the jug of water. Luckily this hotel had a water bottle refilling station in the lobby. The hotel is kid and pet friendly. The outback patio and fire pit was the perfect night cap to an epic day on The Summit for the Monster Pro Down Hill event.

This hotel is located within walking distance from the Village which made the stay even more attractive. The room was clean, although not the best view but had all the amenities I needed, including a/c. Most hotels in Big Bear don’t have a/c, fyi. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking an affordable and nice stay in Big Bear.

Staff was good. The stay was great and wish I would go back because of how easy and simple it was but I had issues after check out. I was charged for a deposit and random small bill. It’s been 6 weeks and have not been refunded. No one has an answer on why or when. I’ve been in contact multiple times yet have gotten my refund and it’s not a small amount either. This has ruined my experience.
