Pros

Extensive conference facilities suitable for business meetings and weddings

Participates in environmental initiatives like the Global Soap Project

Close proximity to local attractions including Surf Ballroom and Clear Lake State Park

Convenient access to major businesses such as Stellar, Titan Pro, and the Winnebago factory

Cons

2.5 miles from Clear Lake State Park

Limited dining options within immediate vicinity besides Bennigan's

“Best Western Holiday Lodge strikes me as a practical choice in Clear Lake, especially given its on-site Bennigan's restaurant-ideal after a long drive. The hotel balances its business facilities, like ample meeting space, with leisure perks such as an indoor pool. I think its commitment to sustainability, alongside its pet-friendly policy, reflects a contemporary approach to hospitality.”
