We stayed 9 nights and I had 3 different reservations, had to keep extending and changing plus had 2 four day reservations for granddaughters. Best Western was so helpful, keeping us in the same room and helping me change dates. We always stay here in WBL and always will. Great staff at Rudy’s too with our numerous large group dinners. Highly recommend Hotel and restaurants!

Very nice hotel in WBL

A charming chain hotel that didn't feel like a chain. The rooms were nicely appointed with special "white bear" touches. Great towels and bedding. Loved Rudy's rooftop bar and the saltwater pool area was very nice.

The owner of the property cares what people think, and always asks us how our stay is going. Love the historic photos of days gone by of White Bear Lake area throughout the hotel. Great breakfast. Appreciate the coffee available 24hr and the fresh fruit in the lobby. My 9 yr old son also enjoys the indoor pool, and thinks this is "the best hotel in Minnesota!"

The rooms were clean and well lit, and the beds were pretty comfy. I also liked having the option to do some laundry there, and the attached restaurant was decent.
