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 #### Rachel 16 Aug 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 31 Aug 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 12 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fun and really cool.
