I didn't like that my safe and refrigerator did not work. I didn't like the huge gap underneath the entry door. I did like the bed was comfortable.

The location was great and easy to get to. I think the front desk should have a refrigerator where visitors can purchase beverages or water. Especially water. I didn’t like how loud the bathroom fan was. That’s only because I love taking a bath and there was no way I could take one in the dark. The front staff was really friendly and I honestly would stay there again.

Manager was nice but we only stayed one night instead of two because my children saw a half naked woman on the balcony. It doesn’t really look like the pictures. Not bad for adults but not really family friendly in my opinion. If it was just my husband and I, we would’ve stayed. Just didn’t want to chance that situation again.

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.
