Unit 302 Needs blackout blinds that block the grocery store lights at night. Our room was lit up even though i had them as closed as possible. Just another typical run down motel experience. The place is falling apart and they still get customers, profits must be amazing

If I could give 0 stars I would. I booked a hotel in Bemidji Minnesota from 29Jul-31Jul. I knew I would not arrive the night of the 29th however, I was making a 19hr drive from Salt Lake City, Utah and wanted my room to be available to check in the next morning since I knew I would arrive before check-in hours. When I arrived around 10-1030 I was unable to check in because the Hotel Bemidji, which was booked through Expedia, marked me as a no-show and gave my room away without notification even though I checked in before their usual checkout hours and I was unable to get another room because they were completely booked. When speaking with the representative at the hotel, who had horrible customer service and acted as if I was an inconvenience, I was informed that only the manager could fix the issue and they wouldn’t be in until 1400. I, therefore, had to go to a different hotel and book a room. When I finally spoke to the manager, who also had horrible customer service, they said I’d have to talk to Expedia who does not accept cancellations even though I DID NOT CANCEL MY RESERVATION, the hotel did without warning or reason. It is one thing to cancel (knowing they’re still going to get paid a night for the reservation) but to be so unwilling to accept fault or resolve an issue is very unprofessional and I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, at least until it got better staff.

I’m not sure why, but the carpet in our room felt damp. In fact the whole room felt damp. We were told that the building has been bought by another hotel chain and is in the middle of transition. Things need to be updated. There was no breakfast of any kind, but the bed was comfortable, and the shower was great.

This property has alot of issues. They desperately need to update. There needs to be a facelift and they don't have enough employees on sta f f. A few. Examples-there was no clear information about room cleaning. I was told when asked that they don't clean rooms unless asked and. When. You leave. I requested my ro be cleaned at 8:30 am. I was told this would not be. A problem. The room. Was n ot cleaned. When asked if i ccould just get fresh linens later that evening i was told the laundry wasnt done and it took 2 hours before i got linens. I understand that this place willl be taken over by Marriott. I hope they can take better care of this place. Also the in room jacuzzi drain was broken. The jacuzzi in room is nice but needs tto be updated. Plus the ac vent is cery close to the bed.. it felt like the owners do not care about this place. Since they are selling it

This hotel is fine for a modest business in a small town. I would stay again if ever returning. Downsides compared to other hotel chains: 1. There is no continental breakfast. Makes sense for level of business. 2. Mattress was not comfortable. Felt a bit like laying on cardboard. Need to upgrade mattresses. 3. TV stations were low def 4:3 aspect ratio local programming only. Need cable channels and a guide. 4. One of the two lightbulbs was out in the bathroom. Housekeeping should have noticed and replaced.
