Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Manistee

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great, room clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend."

Mushroom Cap Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a smaller motel in a small town. It has been updated and the rooms are great. Sorry cute area. Has a pavilion, a place for a bonfire and a grill. Staff was super friendly ! It was close to many places to visit along Lake Michigan. I would recommend this motel if you are in this area."

Crystal Lake Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was immaculate and comfortable. This is not a "modern" hotel, so if you're expecting a modern hotel experience, don't stay here. It was friendly, quiet (on July 4th), and very relaxing. There is in fact a fabulous lake view. We really enjoyed our stay and will go back. Highly recommended. We also ate at the sister inn's restaurant, Cold Creek Inn, in downtown Beulah. Fabulous food and terrific service!"

Manistee Inn & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about our stay at Manistee Inn and Marina! All staff was friendly and helpful, the property was clean and welcoming, and the location was perfect! We even had our own parking spot, since we stayed on the lower level. The bed was comfortable and our room was spacious. They serve coffee in the morning, but not until 8:00. We had a coffeemaker in the room though. This was our first time in Manistee and we’re so happy this hotel worked out so well."
