Three Bear Inn 3 Broome Street, Marathon, NY 13803

"Having recently wrapped up an overnight stay at the motel, this location does not warrant the 4.3 star ranking it has on Google... In short, while it wasn't the worst experience I've ever had, it definitely ranks as one of the more unpleasant stays I've had so far in my life... The good: Staying with my wife in one of the recently renovated rooms, the decor wasn't bad, and the bathroom was decent. The shower is the one redeeming feature about the room, I appreciated its ability to give you control over both the temperature and volume of water being provided, good set up overall for that. The bad: As a bigger guy myself, the standard size toilet was functional but a bit uncomfortable to use. Similar to the comment above, the bed was also not large enough to sleep both my wife and myself comfortably. While we managed to make it work, and it wasn't bad in terms of comfort, it was not something I would want to do again. The bathroom door would not close properly, it needed to be forced close to get it to seat properly. It is a minor issue, but there are no hooks in the room we stayed in. Not for the bathroom, not for the bedroom, nothing. We ended up using the window curtain bar as a makeshift hanger rod, putting our wet towels there for lack of a better solution. (Quick edit on this one, I talked with my wife, and there was a hook after all - scratch this comment!) The exhaust fan was a combination heater / exhaust style, generating heat when the shower was also running, which wasn't great. The ugly: While checking out several rooms that were procured for our family, at least one of them had a strong smell present, likely from someone smoking marijuana there before we arrived. At least two of the rooms had dead flies scattered across the floor. The room I stayed in had at least two visible, while another family member has no less than about a 6-10 present as we walked into the room. The floors in my room were sticky, when walking across the floor it felt like a substance was adhering to my feet. Last but not least, there seemed to be an electrical issue with the space's wiring. As a CPAP user, my machine was experiencing and under-voltage issue, where it did not have proper 120V coming in from the outlets. I plugged it into multiple outlets directly to check, and it was a consistent problem. This resulted in my getting about 5 hours of rough sleep after a long day, and left me waking up with a very sore throat and audible wheeze. Edit: Forgot to mention, also woke up and vomited after drinking some water to hydrate... Not sure if it is unrated to the room, a problem with the local water system, or if something is off with the room's water supply. I'd recommend bringing your own water just to be safe..."

"Very friendly and clean will definitely stay there again"

"They're slowly renovating the rooms. The new ones are nice. All of them are clean."

"Made a reservation a month before visit and gave my credit card number. Called the day before to confirm the reservation and they had no record of it and didn't know if there was an open room....it all ended ok though..comfortable beds...the room was a little beat up but the staff were friendly. Good water pressure in the shower!!"

"My friends and I were driving back home to Canada from NYC late at night until our car broke down. CAA towed our vehicle to Marathon, NY and directed us to the Three Bear Inn. Owners were very nice and hospitable, going out of their way to give us a room even though their office was closed. Room was exceptionally clean and located just a few steps from the gas station, grocery store, and mechanic which made our stay pleasant and comfortable. Highly recommend you stop here during your travels."
