Not the best value

We stayed in one of the motels. The entry door/lock was so far off you had to pull up on the door hard, to lock the door. There were gaps around the entry door. The air conditioning unit made rattling noises constantly. Nothing stood out good or bad with cleanliness, other than the maid cart being directly outside our room most every day. Our room was near the dumpsters, so we woke up to those being dumped. The buffet breakfast was pretty decent. The whole staff could use some training. Basic skills like the hostess greeting you as you approach the "to be seated" area, vs. her staring into her notepad and not acknowledging your presence. We got up to get our own water and hot water refills a few times because our servers were mia.

Excellent breakfast

Three Bear Lodge had the best breakfast of the four hotels we stayed at during this trip. The breakfast is served at the hotel's actual restaurant next door, which is very convenient. The buffet had so many options, including various berries, and smoked salmon, along with eggs, bacon, etc. The hotel's location is central, which we also liked. The only challenges were the noise from the other rooms (thankfully I had ear plugs with me), and the light coming in from the window in the door. (We fixed that by putting a couple of hangars of our clothes over it.)

Just ok

There was left over food in to go boxes left in the fridge from the previous guest. The room was dark & felt like we were in a basement. The mattress was pretty worn. The room size is good & the sheets & towels were clean. I also liked being able to park at the room. With some effort to brighten the room & a new mattress it could be better. The girl at the front desk was very helpful & knew her job well & the location is great.

Nice Stay

Three Bear Lodge is very convenient to Yellowstone Park. The downtown area has lots of restaurants and shops. It is an old school motor lodge but quaint none the less. We really enjoyed the buffet breakfast. Lots of options to choose from. Would recommend staying here.
