There is no stairs you need to go up ramp if it’s raining good luck not breaking your back the rooms are very small specially the bathroom and toilet made for kids very small and when I want to cancel my hotel front desk couldn’t do it had to wait until next day to contact the main office and they still didn’t answer after few days the hotel refused to refund I had to email back and forth call many times sent proof pictures to able for them to accept the remaining 4 days of stay but on their website cancellation rules are if you cancel after 72 hours of stay you need to pay for one night plus tax fees but they were trying to not pay me at all I worked very hard with Expedia to get something back very unprofessional about refund and customer rights of cancellation.

This was our third stay at Wild Bear Inn. It is always affordable with a great staff and a clean room. That's exactly how our visit was this time as well. The only thing we would mention is that our bathroom needed a bit of improvements. The water pressure was a bit low and the appearance needed a refresh in the bathroom. It was functionable and we were fine during our stay. We will be back again soon!

It was a nice place and you get vouchers to their tavern y for a pancake breakfast which is much nicer than your average hotel breakfast. The only two downfalls was we booked a 1 queen bed room and got put in a 2 standard bed room which really wasn’t a big deal just the fact that’s not what I booked & we were also leaving in a hurry on my birthday & our door wouldn’t lock so we had to wait for maintenance to come fix it but they were quick and kind. Just kinda a bad start to the day. Otherwise it is a nice place to stay and I think we’d book there again.

Was nice and clean easy access to attractions very pleasant people at front desk willing to accommodate what ever you needed. Only thing was air conditioning Didn't sem to keep it very cool. Might been due to being located in back of room by bathroom. But would still recommend this hotel to anyone. For the price was well above expectations.

Would definitely stay again…

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet & peaceful even with a new roller coaster being put in next door. The room was very nice, clean, & offered a wonderfully comfortable bed. The staff was very kind & welcoming. The location was very good, also. The only suggestion we could make is that the bathtub in the room we had needs repaired or replaced bc it was “chipped up” in multiple places, & parking was fairly tight.
