I had to wait ten minutes for someone to check us in. The room smelled funny so we opened the balcony to air it out. The mattresses were the repurposed and sewn a top cover so they weren't very comfy. Overall for $129 I guess it wasn't bad but we've had WAY nicer rooms for this price other places. Will... More

Northwoods Resort is conveniently located and in walking distance to the Village. Our room was on the second floor facing the pool. Screen door to the balcony was broken and would not latch. When pool is being used, even with the sliding door closed, very noisy. upper room above ours is noisey when they walk around, and walls are paper... More

We've been going up to Big Bear for years. We mostly stay in cabins but this time we were only staying one night so we decided to stay at the Northwoods Resort. The room was nice and large and had a fireplace. The bed was comfortable. The room had an older TV but we didn't mind as we were not... More

We had a great second stay at Northwoods last week. After reading some of the recent reviews, I'd say people are being pretty harsh about this place. Scratchy pool towels? Really? When was the last time you lounged around in a pool towel? I love this place for several reasons. First is the rates, they are competitive and I always... More

We did a last minute Sat. night reservation and got room 435, mezzanine 4th floor junior king room. We were allowed to check in at 8am (at no extra charge) and that was made our day since lots of snow was about to hit :) Location was mid hall way area. The room was clean and bed was VERY comfortable,... More

I'd definately stay again, the location could not be better... Just a short nice walk into the village. The theme is a bit cheesy, but fun for kids. Be sure to request a room with good side-door access to simplify ski equipment and baggage transport... Also, try to request no next-door neighbors, I have never experienced thinner walls. Felt like... More

Location is excellent right in the village. Rooms were clean and neat, felt like a cozy cabin. The lounge is great and breakfast was delicious. The arcade is very fun and the games are awesome. The drive to the slopes was not long.

This is a more typical type hotel. it has a heated pool and the King suite had a very comfy bed and great "log" decor. Close walk to the main street and 5 min drive to mountain. I liked it alot. It doesnt have that cabin look, but it does have a great staff and very good immenities!

I reviewed many hotels before choosing this one, the town seems to be quite run down in general so don't expect anything great. This hotel I believe was one of the best of the selection of the best on offer. I booked this through Big bear ski so included lift passes and lessons for my partner. The hotel: ok, clean... More

We went skiing at Snow Summit which is very close by. The village is walking distance. The room was very clean, bed comfortable and the room decorated rustic style.... but we had no fridge like it stated . I read the reviews before I booked and most people complained about thin walls. I thought they were probably just being picky!!... More
