Very close to road, so we experienced a good amount of road noise during the night. Room very outdated. Ok place to stay for an affordable night sleep after a busy day of fun.

This hotel could use some upgrades. Rooms are clearly older, especially bathroom. They advertise that theyre pet friendly, but they place dog owners on the third floor and there is no grassy area anywhere near your building to walk the dogs. They also charge a nonrefundable $150 pet fee, which is significantly higher than most hotels. The tavern had delicious food, but the prices were a little high.

Okay Hotel with some issues
Room not ready till AFTER 4, $100 pet deposit for only one night, which is not stated on website or hotels.com. Room was very clean and updated for an old hotel. But very cramped. Not a lot of room at all. Could hear everyone in the parking lot, and above us. Staff was not very accommodating, decent place but because of all small issues I would not return.

Good spot for a weekend stay!
The staff was so friendly! I received a text from them everyday asking me how everything was and if I needed anything. The room was good, but there was nowhere to hang anything so I had to make-do. The floor also had a soft spot in an area, but it wasn’t super noticeable. The bed only had two pillows, maybe two more would’ve been better. The safe did not lock, but thankfully we didn’t need to use it. There was only one bedside table, one more would have been more convenient but the one in the room worked well enough. The room was clean and for a weekend stay it was a good spot!

No stars, do not recommend
I specifically asked for a 1st floor room, it was on my profile, they acknowledged that they saw it, and gave me 3rd floor, i have prosthetic knees. We accidentally locked our bathroom, i went to the front desk at 10:30 pm, it was locked and closed for the night, an hour later, my husband got the door unlocked to the bathroom with a bobby pin. Saturday, we had a wedding to attend and woke up to no hot water, in our entire building we were told they would try to get someone to fix it that day.

Staffs are not customer friendly, the door locks died on us because of battery and we had to stay out in cold at midnight for more than an hour to get help as there was no one at the property and the phone number does not work as no one picks up, we had to drive to another property(as posted in the lobby, same business - Westgate) to get help and the receptionist there does not care and when mention about the phone number does not work, the person in reception mentioned it’s a cultural thing to dial 0(though I have tried all options said as per the voice commands). Had to wait there to get a security to help us. To make it worse the next day, the water heater does not work in the morning and finally we have to use cold water to get ready! Overall our vacation is spoiled because of the stay there!!!

Hi John, We want to extend our sincerest apologies for the subpar experience you had during your recent stay at Wild Bear Inn. Your feedback is deeply appreciated. We are truly sorry to hear that you found our staff to be less than friendly. Providing warm and welcoming service is a priority for us, and it is disappointing to learn that we fell short in this regard. The issues you mentioned with the door locks and the subsequent inconvenience of having to wait outside in the cold are unacceptable. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Your experience does not reflect the level of service we strive to provide. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We certainly hope to have a future opportunity to make things right.Best Wishes,Social Media Support
