Whenever we're in the area, we always try to stay here. The rooms are awesome, always clean, comfortable beds, staff is great & we always enjoy the breakfasts (there is quite a bit to choose from....hot & cold....and they're good about keeping it well stocked). There's tons of parking & it's in a safe/beautiful area.

My family live on the Reservation so it’s super convenient. I’m a bit sad to see the coziness of the Bear motif (since it is called the Black bear inn) Staff is always been super friendly and still are. Highly recommend a stay here if you find yourself up in this area!
