A good choice in West Yellowstone
The experience is much better than I expected. It is a typical yellowstone-style hotel. The room is clean and staffs are friendly. The restaurant is good but a little pricey.

One Night Stay for Yellowstone Park
For a motel, this was better than expected. Super friendly staff from front desk to server at the full buffet breakfast which was wonderful. Comfortable bed and clean place. Could use some updates in bath but it was maintained and clean. Would stay again.

The staff was very nice and helpful. It was really nice to have the restaurant serve a buffet breakfast. I was very pleased Three Bear Lodge. And the location was great. The mattresses were not that comfortable.

Clean and family friendly
The room was very clean and large. The shower had adequate pressure though the temperature was tough to balance, being either slightly too cold or very hot. The pool and hot tubs (yes, two hot tubs!) were clean and tolerable. The included buffet was nice but the fact that the buffet could be substituted for a discount on the restaurant breakfast was a delightful feature.

Stay for the breakfast and hot tubs!
Our room was nothing special but it was clean and had everything we needed for two nights. We traveled for two weeks and can say that Three Bear Lodge had the very best breakfast of all our hotels. The buffet is in the restaurant and had so many great options. My kids also enjoyed going in the hot tubs. There were two of them and they looked brand new.

Average 3 star property. Could use some updates like new bedding , carpeting. And art as it’s probably from the 80s. Hot tub was ok. Pool needed a scrubbing as it looked moldy.

Rooms are clean, comfortable beds and very friendly staff upon check in. Beds were made and fresh towels were provided while we were in Yellowstone Park which is extremely convenient to get to from The Bears Lodge.
