They charge a $30 resort fee but don’t have a pool, gym or any other amenities. The resort is “the parking lot” For this reason we will never return. It’s a blatant ripoff.

Rooms could use some updating and the breakfast in the lobby is not good. Not a lot to choose from and the bagels are stale.

First I’d like to say the staff is super friendly. Karen is very nice, helpful and really cares about her guests and the property. The restaurant, for “dinner only” on weekdays was excellent! Good food and good service! Those details are 5 stars. My reason for 3 stars is because of the “extortion fee….sorry, “resort fee”. It’s so very wrong to charge a guest when you enter to check in. $30 for what? There’s no pool that needs help paying for maintenance. No breakfast. The mid tier king room overlooks a 7/11 with a raucous parking lot. We heard all kinds of vocal interactions all night long. So definitely not a “Resort”. Weekday guests that are charged this fee get no breakfast. It’s literally a fee for absolutely nothing and it really made me feel like I wasn’t welcome. Just a wallet. Also…the lake…Lake Arrowhead is a private lake for the uber wealthy homeowners. You can’t even dip a toe in the lake. And the downtown retail/restaurant district is being renovated and it looks as if the construction has halted. We were there on 2 weekdays and saw no one working. This review is dated 8/11-12/2025. Like I said. The staff is great. Even our cabin was nice. I was just completely soured by the “resort fee”. This place is definitely NOT a resort. So to demand $30 upon check in after you already paid for the stay, wasn’t very nice, at all. Stop doing that…at least on a weekday when you don’t offer a breakfast. Shady.

This is a cute and clean Inn, if you’re looking for a place to just sleep and shower while you’re either out exploring Lake arrowhead or working out there. I would consider coming here. It’s very quiet and cozy. The prices are great, and the employees are extremely polite and kind. It is part of the restaurant which they give you a coupon you can use for 20% off your bill. Also it’s located next to a 7/11, walking distance.

Weekend Stay

The location is wonderful, right by Arrowhead Village where there are lots of restaurants/shopping and a huge grocery store. The tub in our room (Custer) was gigantic and amazing, made the whole trip worth it even though we got caught in a winter storm.
