We really enjoyed our motel stay and the office people and also the ones that brought our supplies to the room each day. I’ve stayed in a lot of motels but never one to text each day to make sure everything is ok, and what we needed.want be our last time at Wild Bear.

Our stay

Cara checked us in and she was very friendly and helpful. The first night there I used the red blanket in the drawer instead of getting under the sheets and I woke up with bites. The next night I slept under the covers and found a few more bites in the morning. We had one more night there and I decided to let the office know about the bites and that there might have been possible bed bugs. There were nice about it but then security came to make a report and I was told due to regulations they had to move my room. I completely understand the reasoning behind that but we were moved to another whole building when it appeared to me that there were a lot of vacant rooms in the building that I was already in. It was very frustrating to have to move luggage, a dog, bags and a child into the car to move one building over at 8:30pm to only have to unload the car into another room to check out again at 10am. It would have really easy to just move things from one room to another within the same building.

Heated pool closed, uncomfortable.

You could feel the bed springs through the mattress. The sink had no room to lay out your bath items. Just a bowl. The year round heated pool was closed even though it was clean and steaming hot. I got two different reasons from two different staff. This is the reason we chose the hotel in the first place

Made the reservation for 2 nights on Expedia. Looked for a pet friendly place, we had dog. When I was checking in, I let them know we had a dog. She then said there was a "$100 non-refundable deposit" for the pet. If its non-refundable, its not a deposit, it is a fee, call it what it is. She said that because we made the reservation through a 3rd party. Should take my $100 "non- refundable deposit" and clean the stains in the carpets in the room (not from us).
