Top Big Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Arkouda House

Arkouda House

8/10 Good
"I guess this is an old hotel that’s been renovated, and some of the work was still going on while we were there. Overall it was fine, but some stuff in the room is brand new and some is old. The walls are totally bare. Funny thing, there’s no TV! And barely any outlets, maybe two outlets for two floors. Bring your own power strip. The fireplace worked, and they left firewood for it. We didn’t see any staff at all, they just texted us the door code. Overall the place has potential. It’s quiet and close to the village but it feels like work in progress."
