Guest Reviews

• Ryne (9/5): - Nicer than expected Price
• Breana (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful and place was clean. Breakfast was yummy also. No hot tub
• Mark (9/5): We did enjoy our stay - nice and quiet as requested. - Room was comfortable and heater worked. Loved the shower water - felt really clean and perfect - no smell, and the BEST I have ever used. Would like this quality of water at home! We were in the annex with several large construction worker trucks parked around us and groups of workers that liked to stand outside and talk and smoke, but they did not disturb us. The room was not as tidy as we are used to - there was food or some lotion or oils on the night stand and part of clothes tag, apparently not cleaned, and the floor vacuuming did not pick up a lot of the small soil from past visitors. Sink rim was full of various hair which we washed out. The rest was very clean and neat!
• Jennifer (10/5): Overall a great place to stay! - Access to the property was tricky.
• Kyl (9/5): -
• Collin Nicoll (1/5): -
• jara (8/5): - Front desk staff very friendly Facility very very clean and comfortable Nothing to complain about
• Kristin (10/5): Great time for a kid's hotel sleep over. - I called the day of our stay, and asked if they had an availability for early check in, the hostess was super nice and looked up my reservation and let me know they did. When I got there, she remembered talking on the phone with me and then got us the room keys and we were off. Super fast. our rooms were comfortable- attached just liked I asked and a short walk down the stairs to the pool for our kids to have fun at. The pool was fun and clean with plenty of towels- the weather was beautiful and we were able to utilize the court yard for our girls to eat pizza dinner, the showers I didn't enjoy that the attached restaurant didn't have the ability to make pizza's and they ONLY do that for Pool parties prebooked and not the hotel stays. I was unfortunately under the impression you could still order that through them, you cannot. Thankfully Kwik Star is right across the street and happy to make a few pizza's for us.
• Lisa + Bill (5/5): Felt safe sleeping there, could improve breakfast - Nice location. Quiet at night Drab carpet, poor breakfast, not comfortable pillows
• Tanya (9/5): - A lot of choices for breakfast. Really liked the shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. The pancake / waffle maker was broken, and there's no hot tub.
• John (9/5): Nice place and provided a shuttle to the airport. - Facility was in good shape and clean. Overall everything was pretty good.
• Cziok (4/5): - The heating unit in the room was so noisy we couldn’t sleep all night. This was after we had been changed to a different room.

• Buddy (10/5): Refreshing - Clean and accessible, great breakfast and nice staff.
• Amber (4/5): Probably won’t be back - It was clear that because I booked with my family that we were put in the far end of the property. I booked the room in January and we were put in the least desirable room. Two small children and a facility with no elevator access and far from amenities made our stay difficult
• April (10/5): - This was a nice and clean place to stop. Thank you for being a comfort to weary travelers.
• Kay (5/5): Good food and people, bad elevator. - The elevator was out and the receptionist did great getting us on the 1st floor. The elevator was out of service.

• Amy (7/5): -
• Anne (9/5): -
• Richard (7/5): -
• Caroline (1/5): Booked for 13 nights left after 1. - There was nothing about this hotel I liked. Dark and dingy room in the back annex. Dirty room, food in fridge and on floor under sofa, dirty bedding, noisy AC, horrible entrance. Tunnel to main hotel was smelly, 'garden' area was poorly maintained, breakfast was diabolical. Felt unsafe in ground floor room with outside door. Ice machine was dirty. Simply a nasty hotel. We checked out after 1 night or 13 night booking. Sent email to manager with pictures and never received a reply.
• Chris (9/5): Better than most places. Nice and clean. - The breakfast was great. The staff was friendly and there if needed.
• Diane (9/5): Superb -
• Juli (10/5): Great place to stay! - Easy check in, great location Amma awesome staff!
• Carolyn (6/5): - The 600 rooms are like a motel. doors on either side of the hotel room, air quality was bad and smelt musty. Bed was pretty good.
• Karen (8/5): - An older property but nicely updated. Very clean. Breakfast had the usual fair but a large selection and everything was well stocked. A very pleasant place to stay.
• Graham (9/5): Superb -
• Alicia (6/5): - Overall, it was clean which is the most important to me! However, the property itself you could see was very old. They only had one elevator, low ceilings and you small rooms.
• Kim (8/5): Very good - We stayed for one night to spend time with family that were camping. So it was nice to be fairly close clean room nice pool and breakfast was good. Only real complaint we have is the toilet in the room was not ADA compliant. That being said both of us have mobility issues and this was an issue. My understanding is they recently remodeled so I guess I ask why did you not replace all toilets with ADA compliant ones.
• Mark (6/5): - Confusing directions to the second annex rooms. Musty smell in the room.
• KAREN (10/5): CLEAR LAKR - VERY FRIENDLY STAFF CLEAN
• James (9/5): Superb -
• Colorado (8/5): Very good - Check in was fast , explanation of everything was on point . Staff was friendly and got through the check in process quickly and efficiently. Housekeeping was helpful throughout the entire stay . She was wonderful. We stayed on the 3rd floor which the ac didn't work well at all. It was hot and muggy throughout the entire floor rooms were ok as far as ac . Had 2 different rooms 1 ac didn't work too well in which wasn't good considering it was over 94 outside . Tub didn't drain well in 1 room .
• Wilmarie (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was close, shops, the lake is a very good place
• Diane (8/5): Very good -
• Michelle (10/5): Fantastic! - Breakfast, room clean, modern Liked everything
• Linda (10/5): Very Pleasant - Very nice and clean. Great breakfast!!
• Randy (4/5): - Ac in the room was terrible. Hot and stuffy all night.
• Sandi (8/5): - Lose the pancake maker and bring back the waffle maker. Melvin was an awesome driver!!! We appreciated him so much!! Parking for our boat was also great!! We will absolutely stay here again!
• James (8/5): - Check in was quick. Room was clean and comfortable. The only complaint is that they elevator was very slow.
• Renee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jim (10/5): - Excellent place to stay. Hotel was full but very quiet.
• Brandon (10/5): Exceptional - Price and location and tons of rooms for the conference Room was alittle dirty but we managed
• Sheldon (10/5): - My stay was great, quiet and peaceful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The downside was the breakfast and coffee, very limited and no one was doing anything about the coffee on Saturday morning.
• Patricia (4/5): - Did not feel comfortable in the annex building. Room could us some serious updates. Also did not like the fact you had to go thru an underground tunnel to the main building for breakfast.
• Connor (10/5): - Great breakfast and rewards
• Mary (8/5): Very good -
• Loree (10/5): - I
• Ali (4/5): - The place is very old with extensive carpets everywhere 1-2 star at best The services were excellent as well as the staff
• Trevor (10/5): - Hotel was great. Only complaint is 5he beds were like sleeping on cardboard.
• Barbara (8/5): - The Breakfast was very good. they had the whole menu for the week posted. Had a yogurt machine which was very nice. It is a large property. When I checked in, the clerk gave me a map and told me exactly where to go and let me keep the map. A very nice touch
• Tresa (10/5): - Great find! Clean, convenient location, free shuttle to the Surf Ballroom, super friendly, helpful staff. My only criticism is that we were put in a separate building with no elevator, so we had to lug our cases up two flights of stairs. (Maybe a hot tub by the pool too?)
• Christoph (6/5): Pleasant -
• Bunnie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erin (10/5): Exceptional - Close to the interstate, breakfast was good and clean, staff was very friendly, and my room was close to the smoking area.
• Trevor (10/5): - Look—when we rolled into Clear Lake, Iowa, I wasn’t expecting the Best Western to go this hard. But it did. This ain’t your dusty roadside motel full of cigarette ghosts and broken vending dreams. This place? Immaculate. Like, I’ve been in firebases cleaner than some hotels… this wasn’t one of them. This was better. Me, Brittany, and our dog Cracker (yes, that’s his real name, relax) rolled in looking like a traveling circus of chaos and sass. They didn’t flinch. They didn’t judge. They just handed over keys like they’ve seen worse—and let’s be real, they probably have. Room? Cleaner than my DD-214. Beds? Softer than my ex’s boundaries. Showers? Hotter than Brittany’s patience when Cracker did laps around the room for 45 minutes straight. Staff? Polite enough to fake laughter when Cracker barked at his reflection like it owed him money. We had a lake view and zero complaints—except the vending machine didn’t have Reese’s. I’d dock half a star but then I remember the breakfast slapped and the coffee didn’t taste like regret. Bottom line: If you're looking for a place to crash that doesn’t feel like you're in a crime documentary reenactment, Best Western Clear Lake is that spot. Pet-friendly. People-tolerant. And they didn’t call the cops when we asked if ghosts were extra. Rating: 5 outta 5 barkin’ Crackers. Would haunt again.
• Mary (10/5): - Very close to quaint downtown. Ate at sports bar 5 minutes from the hotel and had delicious burgers! Would definitely stay here again.
• CHRIS (10/5): - Super good value. Very good restaurant connected to motel.
• Rayan (8/5): Very good -
• Dorothy (8/5): - Served our purposes just fine. Our bathroom had no fan so didn’t enjoy fogged up mirrors after shower
• Copus (7/5): Great location, small bed - The best part was that they had a restaurant attached. Bennigan's food was great and very welcome after a long trip. The breakfast was adequate. It beat the last hotel we stayed at. Welcoming staff when we arrived. We wre suppose to get a Queen bed, but it was a full. Queen beds are suppose to be 60" wide not 54". I pick my hotels by having or not having an outside door. Unfortunately our room had one. I find this unsafe in today's world. I would have preferred the second floor.
