We liked the keypad entrance, parking right outside of the room, big bed, ceiling fan, community linen room with games and toys and minutes drive to attractions either way you go. Price point was very nice and plan on coming back when we can. Thank you Motel Bear Lake for being a wonderful place!

What did I like about the prortuThis property was just beautiful. We enjoyed the spacious rooms and that they are dog friendly. This is a work in progress hotel as of 2024 which is what they said in the email, but you can hardly tell since the room we had was just adorable. They did hang new room numbers while we were at the beach. So that was the progress we saw. What I didn't like is that they advertise as lgbtq friendly. I didn't understand why that matters since you are just renting a room. But it did slightly scare me that we might show up and it was going to be shoved down my throat since that happens so much now days. Plus I instantly thought how I would be afraid of what I might see during pride month after hearing and seeing how the parades go. And advertising Narcan makes me wonder what type of people might have been here before me, which did make me nervous for my kids.

A nice place to stay.
The motel was ok. There is no staff member on site most of the time, but they have a supply closet with extras. The rooms have been redone to a 1960s decor. They were ok, but could have been nicer. The beds are on the hard side, but the room was clean. They are still remodeling the outside, so it was still a bit rough. Overall an ok stay, especially with very few options in the area.

Floor in room was slanted not sure built that way or if it is a problem. Not very good lighting. Very uncomfortable bed and pillows. Parking area is very small. A Lot of road traffic noise. Very small bathroom especially where the toilet is located. Banged knee on tp holder several times. Overall for the cost of room. Not impressed. We actually let a day early because I did not want to sleep in that bed another night.

Property not located in area searched which turned out to be 1/2 hour further. Messed up some plans. Room booked was switched by owner and then had trouble getting in. No partial refund. No breakfast which is typically standard and dirty ice from ice machine.
