Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Brown County Inn

10/10 Excellent

"There was nothing negative about this hotel!! Amazing from check in to check out!! I will be back soon!!"

Graduate by Hilton Bloomington

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so incredibly helpful, kind and wonderful!!!! Didn’t feel like a Hilton but instead like staying at a bed and breakfast"

Hilton Garden Inn Bloomington

8/10 Good

"The paid on parking is expensive and inconvenient, but the location is fantastic and the staff was really great. The rooms are clean and newer with modern equipment unlike many hotels in Bloomington."

Hotel Nashville

10/10 Excellent

"The room we stayed in was very spacious, super clean and well-organized. The beds were comfortable and overall we had a great experience. Jess and the staff were very attentive, professional and helpful. Nashville is a super cute and historic little town. I highly recommend you visit and Hotel Nashville offers great value."

Quality Inn Nashville - Bloomington

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean and inviting with great easy parking. My room was large and very nice. My only issue was not being able to find a temperature control in my room and the room was a little warm. Good free breakfast in the morning was a nice perk!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Martinsville by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was really nice and really clean. The staff was okay. Not rude but also not exactly above and beyond in service. The rest of the hotel is pretty mid, nothing to write home about, but like I said the room was really nice. It's also cool they have a pool and a fitness room, even though both are quite underwhelming. The weight room has dumbbells up to 50 and a bench, which is basically all you need, but good luck if there's more than one person in there at a time. The front automatic door also makes a loud noise every time it closes."

Artists Colony Inn

8/10 Good

"Our room was very clean and had the Victorian charm that comes with the atmosphere of the Inn. The location is very conveniently located. The desk agent was kind and informative. For those who don't know, customers who are staying at the Inn, a free parking pass is provided at check-in. Don't pay for parking before check-in. I only have a few minor complaints to note - The hallway noise and room /room noise is very loud inside of the rooms. The TV in our room was very small. The food in the restaurant was subpar and bland. I paid $207/including tax, for one weekend night (saturday), in a single queen bed room. In my opinion, it was a little overpriced and underwhelming."

The Seasons Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great food always upgrade to a better room not stand"

Private 3.5 acre Waterfront Cabin with Hot Tub, WiFi, Minutes from Nashville

8/10 Good

"It’s a peaceful and relaxing getaway!"
