Customer Reviews
Thank you to Chelsea who hosted my family at the Bear Bottom In this weekend. The rooms were very clean and cozy as well as in a great location. Chelsea went above and beyond to accommodate for our stay. Thank you Chelsea-We appreciate your extra mile!
I’m new to staying in motels. There are only 5 rooms and mine was adorable! Very clean and comfortable with a cute western theme. WiFi was strong enough for streaming and my Telehealth work. The price was so reasonable! Used it as a launch point to Craters of the Moon about a hour away. Would absolutely stay here again!
No instructions on check in. Got key and paid at restaurant next door. Was closed when we checked out the next morning, so left key in room and door unlocked. Room was cutely decorated and had fridge and microwave. Small TV with no good channels (shopping, Spanish, religious, and reality TV). Tiny bathroom with sink and mirror outside in main room. Poor lighting in room. Small table with two chairs. Ramp to boardwalk, but room not wheelchair accessible. This motel is a strip of five rooms next to the restaurant. Parking in gravel lot in front. Cute little walkable town with museum and a couple of bars and a handful of restaurants. Also a small grocery store and a gas/conscience store. Located between Land of the Yankee Fork state park and Craters of the Moon National Monument.
There is NO AC in these rooms! Prepare for a hot night if you are staying here. Not enough windows in room to take advantage of outside air during the night. Other than that staff was really nice upon arrival- but they should fix their listings on several sites. I would not have booked here knowing there is no AC in the middle of July.
This might be the worst dining experience I've ever had. Upon arriving, we were told that there was no pizza or chicken wings. Ok, we will have something else. We ordered after a wait that seemed excessive. We waited over an hour for our dinner with very light traffic at the time we were there. My sweet potato fries came out burnt to a crisp. Service was terrible. No forks because they were dirty, so they said. I guess that they couldn't be washed? The staff made excuse after excuse. "They had to catch up" was the excuse they said, but when we arrived, there were hardly any people dining. Catch up to what? We watched another couple get increasingly angry with the wait. Their food came after ours, and their fries were not black. It seems like there was over 30 minutes between the w
