Did not like that there was no person to talk to. Called several times to confirm reservations before the stay with no response back. Otherwise there were no issues and everything was in order. Thank you,

"Cozy & Cool"

10.0

This is such a wonderful little place. It has an atmosphere of warmth & trust, while being retro & fun. I've stayed here once before, so I knew that I really wanted one of the rooms with an extra sink -- it makes it easy for two procrastinators to get ready at the last minute. I also remembered that the thoughtfully curated in-room guide would lead me to the breakfast place that I forgot the name of. This is definitely on my list of favorite motels, because it's just my kind of cozy cool.

"Spontaneous New Year Trip"

10.0

As Michigan travellers, we have stayed in many hotels and motels. This was the best in a long time (very clean and loved the bed). It was a last minute trip for New Year's Eve and I was able to book a room in the evening that was immediately available for us settle into with 24-hour check-in. The remote keyless entry was wonderful, along with the included amenity room, which had extra towels, cups, plates, condiments, coffee/tea, pet supplies, and indoor/outdoor games. The staff's all-around inclusiveness of people, pets, and recreational activities is very thoughtful and something that I will keep in mind for future trips. We originally booked a room for 1 night, but the weather during the day kept us at Motel Bear Lake and we decided to extend our visit (also last minute). The staff (possibly owner) was super friendly when I texted them about booking an additional night, which is very convenient for communication during a trip. They even manually updated the system to keep us in the same room for the additional night along with reactivating our amenity room code, which also was just a few simple texts to a resolution in a matter of minutes. The area was peaceful and quiet. Bear Lake is practically across the road. There is a gift shop, as well as cute post cards, magnets, keychains, and mugs available for in-room purchasing. We loved the retro look thats being infiltrated into this motel's rooms and it's centralized location to western state attractions. *Pool out of season
