Stayed in the family suite with two kids and a dog. Everyone enjoyed the 4 queen bunk beds and the arcade machine in the room. Room also had a fridge and a freezer and a microwave. Plenty of space in the open plan room. Bathroom was small and shower a bit leaky but it was fine. Note, no elevators so you will carry your cases/dog crate etc etc up and down stairs. Janet on the front desk was excellent, very friendly and helpful. There are two hotel cats, Sierra and Blue. There’s also a nice indoor pool and hot tub, a rare commodity in big bear. Hotel is an 8 min walk to the main downtown village and 30 second walk to the bowling alley across the road. We would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

I'm not sure why this place has 5 stars. The staff were not very helpful, and the place has a really unpleasant smell. We had to go to the store to buy fragrance candles to try and rid the bad smell. The room was very damp and cold. The heater didn't work, and when we asked, the staff said, "There should be a switch somewhere". Not the best, sorry, and not cheap.

No coffee cups or creamer in room, only 1 coffee pod even though there was a keurig. There was no view of the lake, I did see trash outside my window, the fridge froze our drinks. The front desk was unresponsive when the people in the room next to us were fighting, loud yelling and it sounded like someone was being thrown against the wall. They never responded to my texts or phone call and nobody was at the desk- we ended up having to call 911 I would not recommend this hotel to anyone

The walls are paper thin so I could hear the couple next door watching something loud - there aren’t TVs in the room so I guess they brought a laptop with them or something. The shower was original to the property and the glazing was pitted and falling apart. There were spiders and mildew around the bathroom because there isn’t a vent - just the window. Everything in the room looks nice when you stand way back at the door, but when you get up close you see it’s very surface level. The people at the front desk are nice, and the property is convenient walking distance to the village, so it wasn’t terrible, it’s just the room.

Sierra Blue is a pet friendly hotel, yet it didn’t stink like pets. I’ve got allergies and I appreciated that. My only complaint is that the internet kept rebuffering when trying to watch TV.

Enjoyed my stay but improvements could be made

Pros: Walking distance to The Village. Thoughtful and considerate staff. Comfortable bed. Some elevated touches such as the air purifier in the hallways. White noise machine in the room (as a solution for some other reviews mentioning noise in hallways/through walls). Cons: Bathroom updates done sloppily, mold on ceiling, and paint peeling off window sill. Unfortunately not very clean - animal fur was on the comforter and Pendleton blanket - which is an issue for those with allergies/asthma (like me).

Beds were comfy minus the dog hair in them and little spiders all along the window sill. Room smelled bad so we had to go buy air fresheners, entire family was struggling with the odor. Empty Pepsi cans under the couch. No phone to call the front desk when we needed extra toilet paper, only provided one roll for a week stay. What if there was an emergency? Overall not my favorite place and would not stay here again, I would have gotten a refund if I could have. We also had to listen to loud dump trucks sit in idle for over an hour multiple days in a row parked in the alley next to our room both very early in the morning and the afternoon.
