There were a few black hairs in both beds and on one of the pillows. Also, the sheets had some permanent stains, which we just tried not to think about. There was no complimentary morning coffee at the front desk. The reason I didn't give less than four stars is because there were several good things about our stay. 1. Jess (the onsite manager) was extremely nice and helpful. He made 2. There were no bed bugs, which is always our biggest fear of staying in a motel. 3. The refrigerator and microwave were nice to have in the room. 4. The location of the motel was great. 5. The price was reasonable, compared to other properties in Big Bear.

When we checked in, we were given a room where the sink didn't drain. After what seemed like a longer negotiation than necessary we were moved to another room. This sink was slightly better because it did drain, but took a long time to do so. Everything seems pretty run down and only partially clean. We've stayed here in the past and it hasn't been a problem, but this year the flaws seemed really apparent.

For Motel 6, the rooms were clean. The girl in the office was not friendly. They were somewhat unorganized. You need to ask for blankets though. The gentleman who is cleaning the rooms was kind enough to carry our luggage down to our car for us as we are a little older. Nice guy!

If you need a place to sleep for a night, this is it. I would not recommend for a family. The room and bathroom weren’t clean. Bad odors in both areas. There were bugs on the bed sheets. Good part overall is it’s pretty close to the village and the go karts.
