Small room, fridge and coffee maker are in the bathroom, no microwave. For the cost you expect more. The room was clean and the bed comfortable.

Such a pleasant surprise to get here and find it better than the pics & reviews. The gym is in a different building than we are staying in, but just a short walk. The room is spacious, clean & comfy. The staff is friendly and very helpful

After our VBRO cancelled last minute and had issues getting a refund. We went to Bear Lodge. The staff were open and friendly and went above and beyond to welcome us last minute. Rates were reasonable. The rooms were clean and the grounds were very nice. I will recommend this hotel to anyone.

Rooms very clean but some work can be done on the showers. Very low water pressure and water temp could not be maintained. Had to adjust often. Staff was very friendly. A really beautiful place but not sure of the other novelty sections as in the older side. Ours was fairly new and very nice.
