Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As a little motel close to a festival venue, the Black Bear Lodge was just what I was looking for. I was prepared for it to be small and basic and for the decor to be somewhat dated. What I found was a motel that was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The innkeeper was delightful. I would stay there again.

Black Bear Lodge is the perfect place to lay your head at night after a long day of hiking and outdoor adventures! The host was very kind as she provided light breakfast each morning (fruit, tea, coffee, muffins, croissants, bottled water), and checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well. I would definitely stay here again when I am in the area!

Most of the hotels and inns around there require 2-nights stay, but not this property. Not over the top, just clean, comfortable, and cheap. 12min sway from the ski resort and restaurants.

This is a classic, retro roadside hotel high in the Catskill Mountains. Rustic and very simple but clean and cozy. Kim the hostess is charming. Beautiful surroundings. Convenient to skiing, hiking, fishing.

What a wonderful property. A stream and some hiking are in the back. It's clean and efficient with a fridge, microwave and flat screen tv with plenty of channels. Wifi is available to make calls or work on your laptop, but who wants to do that in this beautiful area. Close to skiing in Hunter/Tannersville area for the winter. An older property, but I love that.

Room was clean but the outside was old and dirty. Tv was located in corner behind the bed so you cant watch from bed. No comfortable chairs to sit in. We checked out a day early because of this

Your typical motel. Small room but doable. The clerk was very nice and pleasant. She had breakfast ready in the morning, muffin and fruit, in a brown paper bag for us to pick up at the office. Had coffee for guests. Towels were very nice, they were not your usual sandpaper towels, they were heavy and plush. The only bad thing was there was no outlet in the bathroom.

The room was very clean and well appointed with a fridge and microwave. Great tv selections for watching tv at night. There's a beautiful stream in the back of the property and you can enjoy coffee, fruit or cereal out on the patio in front of your room. There's a short drive to Prattsville Diner and Jim's All American supermarket.
