Professional, friendly staff. Easy peazy check in and front desk was amazing. Offered tons of information regarding shopping, dining and trail experiences. Clean rooms, cozy comfortable beds, great decor too.
Whenever I go skiing at summit or big bear I always stay here. It’s literally right next to summit and has that mountain vibe. Highly recommend. Staff is friendly rooms clean and nicely decorated.
We loved our stay at Sessions. The rooms and all facilities were exceptionally clean. The staff was very helpful, especially Venetia. The amenities were great, we especially loved being able to play in the snow on the back of the property, since we have very young children it was very convenient. Just be aware that the building is older and so not as quiet as a normal hotel would be, although that wasn’t too much of a problem for us. Great location, definitely worth the price.
The location is very convenient. The staff is super nice, helpful, and friendly. Good price for a nice room, and the amenities are great. There was no water in the dispenser in the morning in the kitchen area, but otherwise it’s a great place to stay.

Great funky reno vibe. Front desk staff, very professional friendly and offered tons of local information for visitors, shopping trails and dining. Clean rooms. Only complaint was a group of very noisy, inconsiderate guests on property.

A very nice and pleasant place, with a very good location. Great staff. Some of the common areas need some maintenance. It has a nice forest behind the hotel but there were some broken chairs, broken glass and empty cans lying around.
