Studio 9 Big Bear

8/10 Good
"Room was clean except for tub had some mystery debris on the rim. A lightbulb was burnt out on bedside table. There was an exposed door to the adjoining room which opened to the other room-the door to the other room was closed thankfully. A mini fridge in a motel is always appreciated but the room unfortunately, didn’t have one. What mattered was ultimately that the bed sheets were clean, the ac was cold and the tv was big! Overall a decent stay for the price."
