Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Nashville - Bloomington

8/10 Good

"Dated but adequate"

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

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect cabin for a quick getaway! Everything was clean and check in was a breeze. The hot tub was easy to use. We loved the view of the pond in the back."

Cascades Inn

8/10 Good

"If you are looking for a more affordable place to stay in Bloomington for a game or a crowded weekend, this is an option. We walked to the stadium, we had a decent, safe room. It's not a luxury hotel. This is a motor lodge from days of yore. It's perfectly safe and fine, and the price gouging is much more palatable."
