We spent two nights meeting with family and found the hotel adequate. The rooms are okay and bed was comfortable. We were a bit annoyed by fruit flies around the dining area and even the Bennigan's. The pool is large, new hot tub and large area surrounding pool. The young lady who cleaned our room was extremely pleasant and helpful.... More

You immediately know it's outdated when entering the lobby. It also has that worn out smell. The A/C-heater unit in room was very noisy. I could only get lukewarm water in the bathroom/shower. I found the bathroom counter to be uncomfortably low. The decore needs updating badly. Remember beer bottle openers on the bathroom door frames? Yup, they got them.... More

We were looking for a hotel close to I-35 and Hwy 18 and were pleased with our choice of the Best Western. The pool area is large and very nice. They are in the process of updating the breakfast area. There are a lot of long intricate hallways so a person with mobility issues should request a room near the... More

Stayed for 6 weeks while working in the area. The work staff are great. Wonderful breakfasts. The fact that Bennigan's was attached was a plus for me. I could come back to motel from work and get cleaned up, eat, and BS with the fabulous bartenders until time to go to room for the night without having to get out... More

We stayed at this property for a wedding. The pool was very clean and large for an indoor pool. The hotel contains a Bennigans and several banquet rooms. The room was clean and of a typical hotel size. It appeared while we were there that there was one wedding reception, and two class reunions. Due to the layout of the... More

This is about what you'd expect from a Best Western. The location isn't great, but convenient to the Interstate. If you want to see the lake, or other attractions in this resort city, you'll have to drive a couple of miles to downtown. Rooms are comfortable, and have most of the usual amenities (although a refrigerator would have been nice).... More

Hotel needs some updating but all things considered it is a good place to stay. Very convenient and having Bennigans close by is a real plus. More

I've stayed here three or four times now on my way up North. Rooms are clean and adequate, as is the continental breakfast. I'd definitely stay here again if my itinerary called for a night in Clear Lake. More

We were on a road trip to North Dakota and had our two German Shorthaired Pointers with us. This Best Western was at a good stopping point and they allow pets. We had a room that had both an internal and external door so that was handy for taking the dogs & unloading/loading the car. They had a decent continental... More

I called to get information on a room for a weekend, and was rudely told they were full. The woman acted like she didn't even want to be on the phone with me. TERRIBLE customer service, and terrible first impression. I'd sleep in my car before I stayed there based on her rudeness! More
