Bear Lodge

Staying at the Bear Lodge was an enjoyable experience. Our room was large and clean and comfortable. We were surprised however that for a multi-day stay, housekeeping only comes on the 4th day, and therefore it is your responsibility to monitor your toilet paper supply, your towel supply, and your wastebaskets. There are also a limited number of electrical outlets for charging your electronics, and some convenient built-in usb ports would have been greatly appreciated. The Bear Lodge is close to some great nature walks, as well as Creamer’s Field for wildlife viewing. The grounds are nicely kept with superb flower gardens. The personnel are also friendly and helpful. All in all, a great place to stay.

The airport shuttle and on-site hiking options made this property a top pick when selecting my accommodations. Although the restaurant was closed for breakfast at 10:30 am, the location allowed for a quick pivot to a local restaurant that was recommended by the front desk staff. Clean, easy check-in and out. I would keep Bear Lodge as an option for future trips.

My friend made the reservation for her room and mine . When we got to the hotel they had put her in one building and me in another building . So then I had to pay more to be placed back in the building where her room was located . Because the only room left had an extra bedroom that was my only option . They would not give me the rate my friend had been told I to pay more . The staff was very inconsiderate regarding the price of my room . Also the diverter in the shower did not work . The floor in the hall back near the bedroom squeaked . After the way the staff treated us in regards to the price of my room I will not stay with this hotel again .

Poor location, there is a car alarm going off every hour all night in the hotel and security did nothing about it. Very poor management.

The grounds are beautiful; our room was clean; otherwise it’s a tired, dated, shop worn motel. Staff pretty much clueless and in no hurry to help you. I needed to print luggage tags for cruise. Asked if there was a business center; person at desk had no idea what I was asking for. Told her I needed to print something. She told me printer didn’t work but I could walk across the property which is huge to another building and use computer there. Turns out there was a business center in the coffee shop and the printer worked fine. Went to lobby early morning looking for coffee. There was none; guy at the desk told me they were running late and that coffee was only available in the restaurant and there was “no free coffee.” I have never stayed in a hotel that did not have complimentary coffee in the morning. Yes there was coffee maker in room but that stuff is always terrible. There is nothing nearby so don’t arrive hungry; restaurant and coffee shop in hotel were both closed. Buffet Breakfast was included in our tour and was very good. I would opt to stay in a chain hotel if I ever returned.

We were lucky to have stayed in the same hotel where the cruise had us booked for the next night. Our stay wasn’t anything to brag about other than that
