Love that you don't NEED to check in with staff but they are available if you do want/need to interact. But having a convenience room of supplies is an amazing touch. Good strong WiFi, great water pressure in the shower, comfy bed. I wish we had stayed more than 1 night this time ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great little spot. Easy check in ##### Douglas Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Oct 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This motel has a comfortable, nostalgic vibe. The rooms are clean and spacious. We stayed in a King room, which provided plenty of space for two people to get ready for the day with two sinks available. There is an outdoor pool that appeared well-maintained, although we didn’t use it during our stay. We had recently paid significantly more for another hotel in Traverse City, which didn’t even have a pool. If we're in the area again, we would definitely consider returning to this motel. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pet friendly! The beds and pillows were comfortable! I love that they provide a sound machine to drown the traffic noise for light sleepers. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/de5f1c9d-1316-4a62-9d4a-52e30ae49bf1-1754310807342.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/80e29cc7-e64c-47d6-bc36-87ad6b43e510-1754310824789.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My family and I stayed at Motel Bear Lake for a night while planning a day at Lake Michigan, and I was in awe with this place! My kids love all the games, art supplies, and local beach! It can be hard to find pet friendly stays, especially that are clean, but this had it all! We felt right at home! We will definitely be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99e25a19-ebb0-476b-abc6-620d782796f8-1755376539214.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### art Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities aria outside your door so that you can sit outside and enjoy the aria ##### art Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fun and really cool.

Nearby to outdoor activities and not far from sleeping bear dunes. Overall the place is very clean and well maintained. Also has a pool. Pet friendly. I think that for the price, it was well worth it. Right across the street from bear lake. I could see myself coming back here again. ##### Alex Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Check in was super easy and efficient.
