"We stayed at cabin 15, itโ€™s perfect for just two people. It has a queen size bed, decent sized bathroom with shower/tub, a mini fridge and microwave. Itโ€™s inside its own little fenced space which I really liked, they have some chairs outside and a jacuzzi. Check-in is a little different than other places Iโ€™ve stayed at but still super easy, I just texted the provided number to check in and they gave me the code for the door. And then texted them after we left the property. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again when weโ€™re in town."

Hampton Inn Big Bear Lake

10/10 Excellent
"My second stay here, and it will be my place to stay everytime I am in Big Bear! Because it is close to Snow Summit and close to most if not all the major areas of Big Bear Lake too. I love the Hotel Vibes of Hampton Inn, because it's consistently always clean and welcoming. Parking is safe and secure with staff that are always friendly especially at this location. I've been going to Big Bear for 30 plus years, and as I get older, I prefer to stay at a Great Hotel with amenities that fit my lifestyle and use. I'm always in Big Bear mostly for the Snow Summit Bike Park season every year, and occasionally some hiking or 4 wheeling.. But from now on, I plan to stay here at this Hampton Inn for many more years and visits. I stayed again here for the weekend and the Beds are so comfortable and clean. Rooms are clean with updated Smart TV's, Microwaves and Fridges! Clean Bathrooms with modern styling that makes it easy and comfortable to stay. Staff are friendly and kind! Very helpful and knowledgeable too! Breakfast is super good too!!! Can't go wrong here! Thank you Hampton Inn Big Bear!"
