Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. We arrived on Holiday weekend and had no options in town for breakfast. Most hotels in this class provide breakfast for the guests. Didn't realize until after we checked in that the hotel did not provide it. Thanks.

Clean rooms, quiet and great beds. Grocery store nearby to buy food for meals to prepare in room (with full kitchen). Main problem was knowing how to drive to property. If coming from the south there was no obvious turn-in.

We were on the second floor. A guest above us on the third floor could be easier heard walking around, and for a long period of time. It was very loud.

Basic, no-frills so-so stay

This is a basic, no-frills stay. Rooms have kitchenettes so you can bring in and prepare food, but there is no restaurant or continental breakfast. There are no amenities. All that is fine for a quick overnight stay for business, but my room smelled like smoke even though it was a non-smoking hotel. It was fine for a low-budget no frills stay, but I will probably choose another place next time I am in Bemidji for work.

No ice machine except in the freezer in the room which was very slow and loud, housekeeping left 1/3 roll of toilet paper in room and front desk was “too busy” to bring more. Busy weekend in Bemidji and they only had one staff on Friday from 3:00 until midnight.

Room 217 has an issue with the circuit breaker kept flipping off in the bathroom and the safe needs the batteries replaced. Hopefully management reads this as the front desk person could have cared less about it and never wrote it down when I mentioned it to her. We stayed 2 more nights and nothing was ever done. The plug does work for about 5 minutes after resetting so not a big deal yet. Otherwise the rooms are in nice shape and you can walk to a grocery store.

Very comfortable stay. Everything we needed was there. One suggestion we would make is to improve the quality of your toilet paper. It was way too rough and fell apart easily, hence causing us to use more. Otherwise, our stay was very nice.
