Very disappointed
The floor was blistered and peeling. The night stand's top finish was partially stripped to the bare wood. The windows had no screens. No coffee in office. Parking lot was practically empty, but they wouldn't give a 70 year old person a ground floor room when requested.

Big Pines is very clean, quiet, and in a great location that is close to downtown. The room was perfect for a quick, one night trip for a fairly cheap price. It is also nice that they are pet friendly. One thing that was not ideal was that the toilet did not flush well, even when it was just tp.

Air conditioning, TV, microwave, coffee maker were not working. Old and rundown. Unkept. It should have been cheaper than what I paid for. There was a Dirty socks in between the mattress and the head board. Shower was small and squeaks. When they tried to fix the air conditioner, it turned off every 34 minutes and the worker had to turn the breaker on every time.

This was the worst experience in a hotel … the carpet was so dirty and the AC stinks - can’t say enough it was a last minute booking so we were not able to get anything else that late in the night - the bath tub had glass doors and one of the panels was missing so a lot of water came out to the floor. The. Toiletries were so basic to shampoo and conditioner- no lotion I had to go to the front desk to request anything bc there was no phone in the room- AVOID THIS HOTEL- was worst that any motel I can’t tell you enough totally not going back there- the only thing was the location was very convenient- the pics in Expedia are very deceiving totally not as advertised! BE AWARE . Also the customer service was horrible - I requested for room house keeping and they didn’t even delivered clean towels !!

If I could give this properly a zero, I would. We were checked into 1 room and it was dirty & with no TV capabilities. SO, they moved us to another room. The 2nd room wasn’t visibly great but better than the first room … we left had dinner and returned … we attempted to take a shower before bed and the shower did not work! We walked to the office to discuss this with them, the door was locked and we could see the man sleeping on the chairs in the office. No functioning shower is unacceptable

This place was so filthy. The rooms you see on this app are not correct. I rented the two bedroom suite with a kitchen living room and two bathrooms. Two of our beds didn’t have bedding. The air conditioner was broke. Half of the furniture was broke. Also the floors were disgusting. The walls had mystery substance all over them. We found dirty clothes under the beds, and none of us could even take a shower or a bath while we were there because the bathrooms were filthy.

The picture you show on site are not what the place really looks like. The staff you couldn't understand. The rooms weren’t inviting or had any charm.

Yuck
This place was dirty, did not have a parking spot either night for our family. Check in was unclear after hours even after 2 calls to plan accordingly. Towels felt dirty, floor was sticky, and soap packages were soiled and stained all unusable. Only nice thing is it is a prime location a short walk from Heavenly Village.

This property is poorly maintained and poorly cleaned. Also, the square footage of the rooms are smaller than advertised. We ended up leaving a day early because of the uncleanliness. We were scratching all night. I think the sheets may not have been changed properly. There was mold in the bathroom and by the small refrigerator. I understand that the price per night was not expensive but still not worth booking this property.
