The mid-range Best Western Big Bear Chateau has attractive features and its located within a five-minute drive to Big Bear Village and the ski slopes. The property's opulent, marble lobby makes for an awkward contrast to the hotel's lovely, natural wooded setting, and decor throughout may not suit all travelers' tastes. Its 80 guest rooms are clean and spacious, with coffeemakers, gas fireplaces, and nice marble bathrooms, but Standard rooms don’t include mini-fridges or microwaves. A free hot breakfast buffet is served daily, but the hotel's on-site restaurant isn't open every day. Highlights include a modern fitness center, a seasonal outdoor pool and whirlpool, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Travelers looking to stay closer to the Village can check out The Lodge at Big Bear Lake, a Holiday Inn Resort, which can have lower rates.
