I really like to use some design with the plumbing pipes. The only thing is the bed do not need to be that close to the wall they needed to build a table on the second side of the bed or an outlet is.

Little Gem in Bruno
We were in town for a wedding and found this little gem. We had a fantastic stay- the motel is very clean and comfortable, and the staff was so kind. It felt like a ritzy Schitt’s Creek experience.

The motel is really new and in excellent shape. Our unit was clean and well designed for optimal enjoyment. Having a proper dining table was unexpected and appreciated. The staff were friendly and super helpful. This stay at Bears Den was an absolutely well priced deal compared to properties within an hour drive and we were pleasantly surprised that this motel reads more like a mid-priced hotel in terms of living space. The only recommendation would be that the motel add paper towels to their kitchen area, so we arent using white hotel towels for spills. We chose this location to stay at after seeing a show at Black Bear Casino, and it wasn't too far and saved us a few hundred dollars. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice place, needs a couple tweaks to be great.
Nice little hotel. It's brand new, and quite a surprising little place in the middle of nowhere. Very basic, clean and modern. The beds are quite firm, and sit high, so they were a bit of a challenge for me since I was in a sling and only able to use one arm, but not completely uncomfortable. I would suggest adding a couple extra pillows to each bed, there were just two on each bed and kind of flat. The only other issue we had was the shower curtain didn't do a good job holding water in and the pan is low, so the bathroom floor got soaked no matter what we tried to avoid it getting wet. With the concrete floor it got a little slick which could be a safety issue.

Clean and simple
This motel was clean which is always my first concern. Bed was comfortable. No carpet which I love - although the concrete floor was unusual. Bathroom was modern and sparkling. Coffee machine, coffee, and bathroom amenities were all present. I do not mind the sparse decoration and the room was big and I imagine hunters or others with gear would appreciate it. I would stay again for one night travel. My only complaint is that when I booked on Hotels.com it indicated a number I had to call for check-in arrangement. I left a message and got no response. When I called again I learned that was the wrong number and luckily the person had the correct one. It says call 48 hours in advance but you cannot get the code until the day of your reservation. When I am traveling and busy I am uncomfortable leaving it all to the last minute and being responsible for the contact. I get the cost savings for a small, small business but it generated a little extra work and concern (as we ended up arriving very late and I don’t know who you would have contacted) and follow-through on my part (and I am the one paying for the service). Overall, it was adequate for one night and the price was quite reasonable.

Nice location around a lot of state parks it was a very peaceful quiet stay even though the mosquitoes outside were abominable so the only suggestion I would have would be a bug zapper.

Pleasant overnight in Bruno
Room was very spacious, clean, & inviting. Check-in was easy at their bar/restaurant/convenience store next door. We enjoyed the Friday Night Fish Fry & a couple cold tap beers at the bar. There’s a nice beer garden area; looked like it would be a lot of fun on an evening when they have live music. Would gladly stay again, if in the area.

This motel far exceeded our expectations. The owner was helpful and very accommodating. The room was crisp and clean. The bed was comfortable. The only thing that was lacking was the hot water did not get hot enough for us. Breakfast at the bar was great, making this get away perfect.
