Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Pleasant Valley Resort

8/10 Good

"Hiking nearby in the dunes was fantastic. The room we rented was comfortable and clean. Room 3 had a kitchen attached. Nice to have glasses and plates : )"

Hampton Inn & Suites Manistee Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Had a perfect weekend with gorgeous sunset and beautiful mornings. Everything you need is at this hotel. From the jim to the pool to the breakfast in the morning?And the little store by the checking counter. The beds are super comfortable and the rooms are very favorable. I will stay here again and again. The fires set the mood for a peaceful evening and conversation with new friends... Great prices before the summer crowd."

Manistee Inn & Marina

4/10 Poor

"Okay, I know it's the "off-season," and y'all are not that busy but .... when you tell me there will be coffee and granola bars at 8:00 AM and there are neither for two days, that ticks me off. There were 4 parking spots total. I had to park illegally one night. Nobody at the front desk ever. Was it a good value for the price? Probably. Would I recommend this place - not based on this visit. "
