Detailed Reviews
The woman at the desk was incredibly nice and got me a room late a night right when a blizzard started cutting my drive to yellowstone short. Room was very nice and large, had tons of amenities. Very cheap compared to a lot of the worse quality chains. Highly recommend

We had reservations over Christmas week for 6 nights. Not many people besides us were booked for the week. The rooms were very clean, the help was friendly and extremely accomodating in making sure we had everything we would need over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as the office would not be open. We were scheduled to leave on Saturday morning but found out Thursday night there was a bad storm/blizzard moving straight across our path home and we decided to vacate town about noon on Friday. Since we had to leave due to weather conditions we thought we would just ask if we could possibly get our last night refunded. They did give us a refund (which is not their usual policy but was appreciated). Would definitely recommend the Bear Lodge Motel and we will stay there again!

Great mom and pop run motel. Cute lobby. Clean roomy rooms with the basic amenities such as refrigerator, microwave. Owners very friendly and accommodating. It is older without the high end pricey frills you might find elsewhere. Still Fantastic for the traveler looking for a clean, comfortable, and quiet rest at a reasonable price. We recommend Bear Lodge.

Visiting from the UK it's always hard to choose, looking at reviews, photos, position etc. I wanted to rate this Motel "terrible" but thought that would be just a little unfair so decided on "poor". We normally travel by motorcycle, stopping late each day and leaving early. We just require a decent sized room, clean and tidy, after all we only need somewhere to sleep. If the room has facilities to make a tea/coffee in the room and offers a simple breakfast, all the better. This Motel did not meet any of our expectations. We arrived at 14:50 and were turned away with a statement that the room was not yet ready, check in was 15:00, really? The room was quite large, but in essence the place is "tired" and needing renovation. There was no provision to make a tea/coffee in the room, so visited the reception area where we had been told a "continental" breakfast would be served in the morning at 08:00, really? what Motel starts serving breakfast at 08:00, people generally leave quite early. We rang the bell in reception, but nobody came, however a cleaner spotted us and came to ask if she could help. With the lack of any means of making a tea/coffee in reception, the lovely woman found us a coffee machine for us to take to our room, together with some coffee, tea, sugar and milk pods. She had been cleaning all day, understaffed and very tired, but did her very best to help us. We were a little late leaving in the morning, but as it was near 08:00 thought we would grab some breakfast before leaving. What we were faced with in reception was so bad it was actually funny. The only change from the previous day was a tray containing several different breakfast bars. In case you are not familiar with these bars, they are similar in size to a standard chocolate bar and made of cereal/granola etc. That was it, nothing else, literally nothing! There were several other customers wandering about the room, looking somewhat lost and confused, some sat eating a breakfast bar. Clearly the Motel staff had no understanding of what constituted a "continental" breakfast. We returned to our room, my wife empty handed, me with a Frosted Flakes breakfast bar, both laughing. I then felt compelled to return to reception to loudly enquire "Is this breakfast, are you for real" to a reply of simply "yes". Well I'm sorry Bear Lodge, but I strongly suggest you should simply state that breakfast is not available because what you offer is an insult. Actually, maybe I should have stuck to "terrible" it was only the lovely cleaning lady that stopped me.

I don't leave bad reviews lightly. But being they boast to be a family place, I feel the need to share. I made my reservation in May for Aug., plans changed and emailed to cancel in July. No response, called. Canceled over the phone and thought all fine. Got charged for room anyway. Emailed. No response. Called and was passed around til spoke to 2 owners. Had me respelling name several times, wanting to know what email did I use. When finally came down to it, he was reading my email back to me, which means they DID get them and NEVER responded, and then he just quoted their policy for Sturgis week, which confused me. We were going there on a family vacation. I took no note of Sturgis information as I didn't even know it was going on. I did read cancellation policy was 48 hrs notice. I gave plenty of notice. But, apparently, reservation was during Sturgis week. No refunds allowed. I was not told this in response to my emails or the phone call to cancel. In reading the fine print, it also states the rooms are to be prepaid. However, I was not charged until time of stay. So they could have easily not charged me when they knew I wanted it canceled and the LET ME BELIEVE it was canceled. I have learned my lesson. I will stick to chain hotels. They would be much more understanding. This is not a family place.

Overpriced. The room was dirty on the floor, dusty, the fridge was noisy. Breakfast was poor, with no milk or even bread, extremely late served. Overall the facility is old. Higly unrecommended to those stopping at the gates of Wyoming to reach the beauties of the state.

We stayed here one night before making the trip across the mountains to Cody, WY. The rooms are older, but the nicest thing about our room was that it had 3 queen beds with one of them being in a separate room. Can't comment on breakfast, because we left before the lobby was open in the morning (8am) Not sure what we would have done if we would have come in later in the evening as lobby did not seem to be staffed 24/7. Also, because of lobby being locked in the am, we could not get ice. We did walk over to the Longhorn Saloon & Grill for supper and the food and service there was excellent!

4% CC fee not disclosed until I swiped my card. TO avoid this, I could pay by cash or debit accordingly to the woman at the front desk when I questioned this fee which was NOT disclosed to me at the time of booking using a CC and was not posted at the front door or desk. NOT an honest practice.

Bagged oatmeal, Nutrigrain bars and California mass produced muffins for breakfast. No coffee in the room.
No USB ports in the rooms. Clean but a bit overpriced for the lack of amenities. Where's the sausage and eggs???🙃🙃

No breakfast, as promised in contract with booking.com and on the signs on the road : no price reduction.
Hardly ever someone at the reception, so nothing available as p.e. coffee. On the 16th of May, no one until 4 pm !
Not so good bed.
Worst hotel during our roadtrip through the States until now !
