I loved the location was perfect. Rooms are older but very clean. They have coffee and chocolate and tea in the lobby. Someone is always available. They are very nice at the counter. The area was neat and like I said is perfect location I would stay again and again

Hotel Marina Riviera
This is my first time staying at this hotel in big bear, and it was one of the nicest places I’ve stayed at so far. The room was super clean and had everything you need, and the robes were such a great touch. The cleanliness was amazing, and the sauna was so relaxing you definitely need to try it ...
