We stayed at The Bear Paw Motel on 8/10/2024. The room was extremely clean. It was actually 2 rooms with a queen bed in each room. The rooms were very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, and we will definitely book here again. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond.

The Bear Paw Motel is simple, but impeccably clean. They have redone the rooms in the last couple years and they are lovely. Hot, hot showers and tubs, frig, microwave, (no coffee pot though). Rooms are quiet even though it is right off highway 2. The only night sounds ate the passing trains lulling you to sleep. They have these great double rooms with two separate areas, two tvs, two beds etc. One room has a desk and two chairs, and the other has a table and two chairs. Staff is so small town friendly, and quick to empty trash and provide fresh towels on our extended visit. This was our second stay, and all the relatives stay here when we visit the folks! thank you!

We stayed after a wedding. I was concerned because the railroad is right across the highway. I heard one train as I was going to sleep, but slept very throughout the night. The room was very clean and the water was hot. Our host and hostess were most accommodating allowing me to check in quite late with a reminder phone call. I would definitely stay again.
