Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Econo Lodge Manistee

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is so helpful!! Room is very spacious and clean."

Manistee Inn & Marina

8/10 Good

"When they say 3:00 check in they mean it. We arrived at 2:00 to see if we could check in early. There was no one to talk to. We called the # posted at the front desk but it went right to voicemail. When we returned around 3:00 a very nice staff person was there. Our room was very clean, bed comfortable but dated, carpet needs replacing, air conditioning worked well. We liked being downtown & the River Walk. Due to city construction projects we found it difficult to find parking."

Hampton Inn & Suites Manistee Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful place to stay. Great view, fun times at the outside bar and dinner was great and reasonably priced. The rooms were very clean and nice. You had to use your room key to access any floor which I thought was a nice addition for security. We will definitely go back."
