Three Bear Lodge

Great place. I just returned from a week long trip from Yellowstone. This lodge is only two blocks away from the west entrance, so really close. Very friendly staff, we did not like the initial room, because it was not very well lit, but they immediately changed it once I requested. We were also provided with free breakfast vouchers for the restaurant, it was not a buffet, but there were several options and the breakfast quality was quite good. And the staff at the restaurant were also very nice and friendly. No issues with cell phone signal and wifi connection. Overall I would highly recommend it.

Great clean room in lodge!!! Priced attractively and GREAT staff!!! We will be back and we were thrilled with the location Aduriz so centrally located!

The Three Bear Lodge is a nice motel in West Yellowstone. There is a lodge part and a motel part. We stayed in then motel part. The motel part is older, but still very nice and comfortable. We were so happy to be able to park our car right outside our door. The hotel has an outdoor pool and our window overlooked it. We were happy that they shut down the pool at a reasonable hour. It was a very quiet, restful night. Included with the room is breakfast at the Three Bears Restaurant next door. The meal was great. The kids pancakes come in the shape of a bear face. The hot chocolate cake with a mountain of whipped cream. Our kids were thrilled!

We stayed in motel section & not the lodge. Reasonable price for tourist town leading into Yellowstone. Car parked in front of door so easy to bring our stuff inside. Room had fridge, microwave, jacuzzi type tub in living area close to bed, and full bathroom. Also coffee maker. We had king bed & it was very comfortable. Did not like their in the wall AC-​Heater combo because it smelled when running. Nice set up.

I’ve stayed here a number of times, both in the Motel and Lodge sections. First thing you should know is that the Lodge rooms are definitely nicer than the Motel rooms, but this is reflected in the pricing. Their rates are a little pricier during peak season, but off-​peak I’d say it is pretty cheap!
During my last stay (just a few days ago) we spent 3 nights in the motel in one of the jacuzzi king rooms. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Our room came with breakfast vouchers for each morning we were there, which were a great way to start our adventure into the park.
The hotel’s location is perfect for me as it is close enough to walk to everything in town, but not so close that the tourist noise becomes a problem. The staff working there was friendly and we had zero issues.
I will continue to make my reservations here as long as I am traveling to Yellowstone.

I’ll be honest we stayed at the former conference room which is now the four bed suite that has two bathrooms one with shower and one with out with two tables one in the middle which has five seats and the other has one seat. The beds are hard and firm so it’s hard to fall asleep if you not use to firm or hard beds. The bathrooms are huge and you can walk around in them and their spacious also comes with trash cans and huge sinks and counters.
The room comes with a TV, dressers, lamps, telephone and plenty of walking around room. The WIFI is a hit and mess some days it’s fast and some days it’s really slow not sure if it’s on a satellite connection or not but it acts like it is when there is rain clouds coming about. The TV has a few channels but not much to choose from during the day and night time.
Yes, the hotel is outdated and could use some upgrades such as the mattresses, flooring and better Internet connection if you can get it up here in the Mountains.
Now for the bad part. Last night about 7pm a unknown person/​guy ”supposedly from maintenance” decided to come walking in on us and never say sorry for walking in or nothing just left and my father went to the front office and ask about it they claim he’s a new employee and didn’t know and we should be okay that he can come in with out knocking my father was like you need to tell the employees to learn to knock first before entering. The lobby staff didn’t have a answer about it so if you choose to stay here or not.
The laundry room closes early and it’s always packed when there is only one person using it they only have one washer and dryer its packed at all time. The coffee in the rooms is nasty reminds me of Starbucks black coffee very dull and burnt.
Over all experience of this place is three stars possible four if they wouldn’t allow their staff just to walk in on you no matter what time it is.

We liked our stay there as they do not accept pets as my bg is very allergic. Room was clean and bed comfortable. The only thing they should improve is coffee.

I looked at the reviews and thought this would be a decent place. I knew it would be expensive to stay here because of its proximity to Yellowstone. I was right. They charged me $ 197. I was told that the room would not be in the lodge. This should have been a heads up for me. When we arrive, the room looked like it had been built in the 1930 and never updated. It was a 1 story motel. Their were a couple of rows of them. The parking in the front was so tight, I thought I was going to hit the building next to the parking as I drove in. I could just barely get my Toyota Van down the alley because of the door which was propped open next to the driveway. Watch out for all the positive reviews. They offer a 20% discount if you post a positive review of them.

Historic, but needs updating. Too pricey for accommodations. Bed was hard. No elevator, in room coffee horrid, lobby coffee awesome, but not available until 7 – 730 am. Booked 3 nights but cut it short, ended up at Kelly Inn for last night at park, accommodations and price much better.

We had reservations for Friday and Saturday but due to bad weather, we had to push the reservations back a day… We called on Friday late afternoon and explained our situation. The staff gladly pushed our reservation back and at no charge!
Also, The restaurant was really good as well, I had the garlic and herb chicken both nights and would probably would have had it again if we stayed a 3^rd night

Not worth the cost. I drove from Portland, OR to 3 bear lodge in 13 hours. When I arrived the staff was not rude, but not nice. The room was nice spacious and tastefully decorated. However, I came to west Yellowstone to visit Yellowstone national park not live in my hotel room. To be blunt, sleeping in that room sucked. The bed was not comfortable and the pillow kept my head at a 90° angle and was not forgivable.
I got a coupon for their restaurant. That also was OK. But over-​hard means hard not gelatinous… and hash browns should not be black. The biscuit was good though. Overall, save some cash stay somewhere else, its not worth it

Clean rooms, very friendly front desk staff. A good deal for a nice place to stay.
Stayed here 8÷8−8÷11÷13

This not the place to stay, unless you stay physically in the lodge. The rest of the hotel is out back and reminded me of an hourly motel for cheating on your wife. Hotel vouchers for a couple bucks off breakfast instead of a complimentary breakfast was not exciting either.
Two pluses… super close to the entrance of the park and walking distance to the gift shopping.
Will I stay here again… no way.

I stayed here on the second night of my road trip. This place was a bargain of sorts compared to prices to stay inside Yellowstone Park. We had 5 people in our group, so they had a large enough suite to accommodate all of us.
This place has a very interesting history; there’s a mezzanine on the second floor outlining the evolution of this place and its sustainability practices.
Accommodations were comfortable. They offer a $ 2 off breakfast coupon per person to eat at their restaurant.

We’ll be there tomorrow. Be back in a week with my review. Looking forward to our Yellowstone adventure!

We stayed here in the summer of 2010 when out for a family wedding. Almost went to a well know name hotel chain and then remembered reading a review in a guide book and checked out this place. Check in desk people were very friendly and the rate was the same as the natl cracker box chain. As we discovered, this place has real character! One of the original, if not THE original hotels to combine snowmobile tours with lodging. A fire years ago consumed much of the original building, so it’s been rebuilt to modern standards, BUT, much of the furniture, inside trim and other pieces have been reused from the original wood. WOW, is that cool and very environmentally aware. The beds were big and comfortable and the bathroom was huge!, making it easy for my family to get showered and ready. The restaurant right next door had good food at reasonable prices and had fair for everyone even my picky eater. What can I say. we showed up with no reservatiion, hungry and tired and were treated great and slept well. I want to come back in the winter and do a tour. Sorry it took me soo long to give you a review, just got a smart phone and the Unilocal app. Thanks Three Bears Lodge!

I’m very glad we found this place! Super comfy beds, friendly staff
Pros:
comfortable beds, clean, rustic décor with a gorgeous lobby, super close to Yellowstone Park entrance
Cons:
No continental breakfast (you get coupons for $ 2 off adults, and free meal for kids at the 3 Bears restaurant)
Pool seemed a little dirty, but considering the pool is outdoors, it’s probably to be expected.
The place seemed to be running short on towels at the pool and in our room
I would definitely stay here again. No doubt about it.

This was and is a great place to stay. The staff was superb and the rooms were grand. West Yellowstone is NOT New York or LA… It’s rustic, fun and relaxed. I loved it, the lodge and the whole trip. We went with the snowmobile package and it was just perfect. We also took the snow-​coach one day and the tour was a blast. Our guide — Laurie — a BIG guy, was a hoot. His knowledge of Yellowstone and the surrounding area was outstanding. Got a good insight on wolves as well.
I think the price was very reasonable and the staff was fantastic.
The lodge is located very near the entrance to Yellowstone NP and the whole staff went out of their way to make sure we were having a successful trip. There is a place to eat next door but there are also numerous dining establishments within comfortable walking distance.
The room was comfortable and there are also two hot tubs to enjoy. Hot Tub water could have been a little hotter but maybe that was because of Government safety concerns? Anyway –
This place is a keeper and you would be well served if you decide to stay.

This is the nicest motel I’ve stayed at. And at $ 78 for a single king, one of the most reasonably priced too. Downside: beds a little hard. Tip: take the blanket cover off. The motel rooms look the same as the hotel for $ 30 cheaper.

I did not stay here as it required a 3 night minimum stay, so please disregard the 3 star rating.
The reason I am writing a review is because, if you’re looking for a GREAT DEAL on walking sticks, they have one in their gift shop for $ 15.45. It has a strap of letter on it for grip and includes a reindeer bell to scare of the bears. :) Anyway, a great deal compared to the half the garbage at the gift shops. This is both a very functional and quality made stick that would make a good conversational piece.
