The room was updated and spacious. We liked the second sink to help our family get ready quicker. We liked having Netflix available. We would stay here again.
I typically don’t like staying at Motels because of the exterior door on the outside.
This place has recently been updated and except for having no lobby and no one on the property it was a pleasant stay.
The bear lake motel was a clean comfortable place to stay and conveniently located for us. Check in and out was simple. Will stay again when we come to this side of town.
Absolutely loved the mattress in Room 101. The rooms are alwys clean. Its in a convient arear to alot of places Arcadia Blufffs, Frankfort, Manistee thats just to name a few. We never see any staff on grounds not even the owner. The rooms are starting to look really good feom there renovations.
