The Spotlight on Best Western Holiday Lodge

Comfort Meets Convenience in Clear Lake

Modern, welcoming, and conveniently located in Clear Lake, the Best Western Holiday Lodge is a solid choice for concert-goers looking for comfort and accessibility. Just a short drive from Mason City Municipal Airport and close to the area’s live music spots, this 3-star hotel offers a relaxed stay with useful amenities like free WiFi, an indoor pool, and a 24-hour front desk.
Whether you're here to catch a legendary act or explore Clear Lake's local scene, you'll find the vibe here both laid-back and practical.

Why Concert-goers love it

With late check-in at 3:00 PM and a helpful 24-hour front desk, you can arrive when it works for you—even after a long night out. Guests appreciate the quiet setting for winding down after shows, and the hotel’s proximity to nearby venues and downtown Clear Lake makes it easy to catch rideshares or bike around town. The free WiFi and indoor pool are a bonus for those looking to relax post-concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends traveling together for a show
  • Solo travelers checking off a dream tour stop
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend
  • Fans looking for a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a continental breakfast (perfect after a late night). The hotel also features a restaurant and bar on-site, ideal for grabbing a bite or a drink without leaving the building. While 24/7 room service isn’t listed, the on-site dining and nearby food options in Clear Lake make it easy to refuel before or after your event.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things mellow, you're close to Clear Lake’s downtown nightlife scene, with local bars and lounges just a short ride away. It’s a great base for those who want to explore local watering holes before heading back to a peaceful room.

What People Say

Guests frequently mention the friendly staff, clean rooms, and convenient location. Many reviewers highlight the free breakfast and the indoor pool as standout features. The hotel gets praise for being quiet, comfortable, and a great value for the price.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the decor feels a bit dated, and the hotel bar closes early—so plan those nightcaps accordingly. But overall, most say these are minor trade-offs for the price and convenience.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, comfortable stay after a big show, the Best Western Holiday Lodge delivers with easy access, quiet rooms, and the amenities you need to recharge.

Great location, small bed

Liked: The best part was that they had a restaurant attached. Bennigan's food was great and very welcome after a long trip. The breakfast was adequate. It beat the last hotel we stayed at. Welcoming staff when we arrived.
Disliked: We wre suppose to get a Queen bed, but it was a full. Queen beds are suppose to be 60" wide not 54". I pick my hotels by having or not having an outside door. Unfortunately our room had one. I find this unsafe in today's world. I would have preferred the second floor.
