NO AC!!!!

No AC!!! That about sums it up. For locals who are accustomed to having No AC and aware of this fact, that may be fine. However, if you're driving from out of town and expect a nice, cool room when you check into your hotel, do not stay here! When asked about this, I was told, " Oh we don't advertise if we have AC or not, Sorry". I find that practice highly unacceptable. If I had known, I would have never booked the reservation, particularly since I have certain health issues. My husband and I literally were in the room less than 5 minutes before we had to find other accommodations. And guess what, the Hampton/Hilton down the street had AC. I would definitely not recommend stating here during the summer. The winter may be fine as apparently they have heat, but no AC!

I have been to Big Bear many times and this stay was the best. Very unique property nice cleanly rooms and very quiet even though it sits on the Big Bear Blvd. Cold plunge, sauna, horseshoes, bean bag toss and a pool. Close proximity to the village for dinner and close to both ski resorts. Will definitely stay there again!

Big Bear generally has some low-end rustic (meaning rundown) dated properties. Sessions breaks that mold. My room was updated to be more modern. Felt more spacious and was decorated in a really cool manner. Think Austin Powers! The staff was terrific and the facilities were really nice. There was a really nice clean pool and there's a nice hangout area with fire pits. I would say sessions is the best place in Big Bear I've stayed at yet by far.
