Pool is in an atrium area and is already a little dark and several of the lights inside the water were out if a kid was on the bottom you would have a hard time seeing them they need to fix ASAP. The pool also had a bad chlorine smell that indicates poor air circulation and was cloudy - I would not let anyone I know use it - It was bad

Yuval,Thank you for choosing Best Western Plus White Bear Country Inn. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry the pool wasn't what you were expecting. Our pool is a salt water pool with the smallest amount of chlorine and it is checked daily. However, we will be sure to speak with our maintenance department regarding the pool to ensure the lights are changed immediately. Thank you for being our guest!

It’s probably a fun place to stay if you’re a kid or in the mood for a party. The noisiest hotel I’ve ever experienced. Not our cup of tea and won’t be returning.

I was very pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Staff were great! Pool and hot tub were nice and unique. Parking was difficult since the hotel was having a Santa frenzy event, but it worked out. The only downfall, i received a Christmas present the morning before our trip, it was a power bank. And i plugged it into the wall. It was small and sleek and i had forgotten about it and checked out with it still in the wall, i called the next day and the staff claimed it wasn't plugged in and it wasn't in the list and found. So a maid must have taken it since no one rented the room the next day. That wouldn't prevent me from staying there again.
