Our comfort was obviously a priority at the Sky View Inn is appropriately named. The view was gorgeous. The location is great for proximity to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear snow experiences.

Very pleasant stay. Room was clean and spacious-great views from room 102. Only complaint was the TV. Not sure if it was due to the connection, but didn’t work well. Breakfast was also very good and reasonably priced. Went to Lake Arrowhead the next morning-very close by.

The Skyview Inn overlooked a beautiful scenery of the city and sky. Truly what makes this stay worthwhile. As far as breakfast goes- the credit didn’t benefit us as it only is available on the weekends. We stayed in suite #103. It was easy to park, and easy to access/locate. Check in process was simple, no lengthy interaction was had.The room has minor essentials: bedding, soap, small set of dishware and keurig coffee maker with some pods and packets. The room was clean, but as we entered (and multiple times thereafter) the kitchen sink would gurgle and the smell of sewage would arise. We also quickly noticed the futon bed at the end of the king bed was crazy wobbly to sit on (by the night of day one it collapsed in the middle). This was obviously not a new issue as it only had one peg strategically placed to keep it upright. We told the innkeeper about both issues. We were told it’s on the fix list and it happens when the laundry room is used. The king bed squeaks with any movement. We also noticed the chairs outside pop apart so easily. I think it’d be unsafe for a guest over 200lbs. All in all: we might consider staying here again, but would request a different room with undamaged and useable equipment. As a hospitality host myself I understand how hard it can be to upkeep, but price/amenities should match. Again, the view is amazing. That alone makes it worth it.

It’s a nice cabin- like feel from the outside with stunning Mountain View’s. Got upgraded to the “retreat suite”. Once we walked inside we were like … ooohhhh my!!!! The suite needed a lot of work. The tub wasn’t clean, mold around the tub and the shower was horrible. It ran out of hot water pretty fast. I’m pretty sure the body wash was shampoo. I removed several beetles out of the unit. The couch was dirty and ripped. A lot of the furniture was dirty and dusty which isn’t good when you have an asthmatic kid with you. Couldn’t stream anything since their internet was unstable. Kept cutting out. The patio was spacious but not cleaned and the patio furniture seemed abandoned, so couldn’t really hang outside. On the bright side, the staff was nice, the beds were comfortable and sheets and towels looked and smelled clean. Close to Santa’s village and lake arrowhead village. I honestly wouldn’t stay there again though.

Our room was really nice and big. Had a great view of the valley and our stay was so quiet. We ate breakfast each day on the patio overlooking the valley. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. Darcy took great care of us and I would rebook this place in heartbeat!
