Clean and comfortable roomsAdorable themed décor
MonicaIt was a fine little motel. Super old and run down. There are cracks everywhere and a shower wouldn’t ever touch. My biggest issue is that they charge the same as a hotel like holiday inn with indoor access, good…
Eileenbathroom floor dirty and sloping to the outside wall. sink faucet did not work correctly.

ChristopherIt was a cute little place to stay for the night after watching a high-school football game. They communicated well with us and we didn't have any issue. Rooms were clean.
MillieShower wouldn't get past cold water, but other than that adorable cactus themed room. Very nice.
MariaReally beautiful!! The rooms, the area…

Questions about Smokey Bear Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Smokey Bear Motel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Smokey Bear Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Smokey Bear Motel?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Smokey Bear Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Smokey Bear Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
