Bear Mountain Motel
Bear Mountain Motel's name celebrates the majestic mountain that towers above the motel called Bear Mountain by the Blackfoot Indians. Located right in the town site, we offer easy access to the marina, restaurants, shops, beach paths and scenic attractions. The lake is just across the street. We offer simple, clean, affordable accommodations with basic amenities.

From single rooms to 3-room kitchenettes or full kitchens, we welcome guests old and new. Open mid-May thru September, the Bear Mountain Motel is a classic 1960's style motel. The wood and masonry architecture and drive-up parking is a favorite with the nostalgic traveler. Rooms are small by today's standards and are very clean.

I accidentally left my small sea to summit bag, that contains my extra pair of my lining socks. They called me for it. Thank so much. We enjoyed our stay & got back my stuff.

Nice little room perfectly situated in town. Everyone I encountered at the desk was very friendly. Sound carries a lot room to room, so it was nice that the other guests there actually respected the "quiet time" hours. Would definitely stay here again for a night or two next time we're in Waterton.

Older motel that could do with a renovation, but the beds were comfortable and the room was a decent size. Staff were friendly, and it's a great location - close to everything, but without loud people walking home outside.
Main issue is the water pressure; the shower was just a dribble. Otherwise, allowing for the low price, it would have been full marks.

My favourite place to stay when in Waterton!
The rooms are simple, clean, and affordable. The owners are super nice and the little extras they provide - like the BBQ area, really make staying here a bit of a nostalgic step back in time.

Good basic motel. Very good location. The beds and pillows very good. In room fridge and there is barbecues and a microwave in a common area. There is coffee available from 7:00 am on. One negative, the rooms are a little small, but remember, you only need to sleep there, not dance.

We've been returning to Waterton for two decades, and the Bear Mountain Motel is, by far, our favourite place to stay. The rooms are like perfectly kept time-capsules from the '50s. Not to mention clean, well equipped, and comfortable. On our recent stay, we accidentally dropped our son's cherished stuffy in the alley behind the motel - before returning to Calgary. Vic and the owners not only found the lost stuffy but mailed it back to us. And it's that level of service that you can't put a price on. We highly recommend the Bear Mountain Motel!

The Bear Mountain Motel provides modest accommodations with exceptional staff. The hotel was more than accommodating to our every request and were eager to offer assistance. The rooms provide a nostalgic atmosphere and the location is convenient for access to the marina, beach, and village center. I will be staying here again.

Partly renovated room, the new bed was super comfy, and the new bathroom was beautifully done, I was worried about being on the highway, but you can't really hear the traffic from inside the unit, and at night there seems to be very little traffic. Was also pleased that they had washers and dryers for the guest use, that came in handy since we were there for many days.

I left my jewelry box at the motel, and was able to bring it back to me in good piece! + they didn't charge me for the shipping!
Thank you for your honesty, the box is really valuable to me, and I had no idea how I was able to leave it there since I don't remember taking it out of my bag. Nevertheless, I am thankful of you guys! And it was an awesome stay too !!! :) Free hot choco, yum !!! 😋

Our 2-night stay was really pleasant. Super comfortable beds, very clean, really friendly and courteous staff. The stylized wooden bears in the windows add a certain charm to this cute quaint place. Will choose this motel again in the future for sure.
