Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa
Centrally located short walk to shops and food in the village. Emily checked me in and was very friendly. I left my room without a key (twice, I’ve never done that before) they were very nice about it and I had to show proof, which I was grateful that they did ensure safety.

Sessions Retreat & Hotel
very stylish in a cute arty way, yet it is still a basic motel building. Simple accommodations, with fun design upgrades. Great value for the rate.

Hotel Marina Riviera
Hotel has been upgraded and right on the water. Your views are of the lake. You’re just blocks away from the Village, where all the shops and restaurants are and you could walk it.
