This Inn had some nice qualities still. The views from here were just breath-taking. The location is great and close to all surrounding mountain communities. This inn featured in-house dining and a nice common living room for guests as well. They also had many outdoor activities to chose from, movies and games to borrow - snacks and drinks available too. Check in was easy, and the staff was friendly at the beginning. People working the restaurant seemed nice, and the food smelled great. Our room was very spacious, featured beautiful views and was cozy. As it was our anniversary and we had specific dining plans already worked out - had we not, I'm sure the dining here would have been nice. This Inn seemed very children friendly too, and would probably be easy to work with - if you were traveling with children.

On the downside ~ although it wasn't a problem for us, the Inn wasn't as well-kept up as might be expected for the price we paid (i.e. could have used newer carpet, wallpaper, rugs, towels, etc..). The bed ended up being so uncomfortable that I was more comfortable on the floor for half the night. The bathroom's shower would go cold automatically, as though someone else was using hot water for laundry/dishes, etc... Our room looked very clean, but had a constant bad smell (like cigarette smoke/musty/old food). Upon check out, the staff was a bit rude to my husband - it seemed to do with our choice not to dine there. We're quiet and keep to ourselves, but maybe the staff expected us to provide them our itinerary/dining choices/time schedule, this may be common practice in smaller places.... We did not chose to complain to the staff regarding these things, because we thought it wouldn't be worth our time/hassle and there was nothing that could have been done to rectify our not-so-positive experiences there.

All in all, I think it would you can find a better place in Lake Arrowhead for the same price as you'd pay here. This Inn is probably very suitable for families or for a more casual traveler. We just found that it didn't really suit our needs for a special event, such as an Anniversary.
