Shady, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable…read more I prepaid for a three-day stay at the Wigwam Motel in Emily but decided to leave after two days. I checked out at approximately 8:00 in the morning and asked to be refunded for the unused third day. They refused to refund me. I called repeatedly trying to resolve the situation. After two or three phone calls with the manager, I was told they did not have the ability to issue my refund and that someone else would need to handle it. They promised to contact that person and call me back. Instead, they eventually stopped returning my calls altogether. I made several reasonable attempts to resolve this directly with management, but all I received were excuses, changing explanations, and the runaround. Refusing to address the unused prepaid night was bad enough, but promising to call me back and then ignoring my calls made the entire situation feel extremely shady and dishonest. This was one of the most unprofessional motel experiences I have ever had. There was no accountability, no effort to resolve the problem, and no basic respect shown to me as a paying guest. I would strongly advise anyone considering this motel to stay somewhere else.

I cannot suggest enough that you MUST stay at Chase On The Lake. The moment we arrived I began to be flooded with gratefulness for every detail of love, attention to detail and heart and soul that went into this Resort. The new owners as of 4 years ago have created a space of happiness and joy for all of us to experience.....The location, the friendliness of staff, beautiful ambiance, outdoor fireplace gatherings, lakefront restaurant, marina, people watching, sandy beach, amazing value, incredible food, refreshing drinks, crisp white bedding, immaculately clean, hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, indoor pool, gift shop, breakfast grab and go, relaxing full service Aveda Spa on property, one of the best massages I've ever had, bike rentals, boat rentals, docks, outdoor fountains, everything in town within walking distance etc. please do yourself a favor pack your bags and just get in the car and go!!! Your welcome! PS...as I was sitting on a bench outside by the stunning glass fire pit having coffee, the owner came and sat next to me and we had a lovely conversation. Why did he sit next to me as if he was just a guest at the resort? Because he cares....And that is evident in every detail of love & debuilt into this place. Well done my friend! May you have amazing success and every vision ahead come to fruition! Feel my hug!

Note - This review is just for the restaurant…read more I stayed at the IM Hotel across the parking lot (owned by the same management team) and headed across the lot for a late dinner after checking in. Coming in after the dinner rush, the dining room was still showing battle scars from the clearly busy dinner crowd, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. Menu was small, but offered enough variety. I opted for a caesar salad, adding chicken. Salad was delicious and clearly used all fresh ingredients. Being a party of one, rather than take up a table I sat at the bar. Bartender was very friendly and helped offered tips for things to do while I was in town. Would recommend!

We really liked this place and would not hesitate to book here again…read more Pros: Nice quiet location with a super-friendly and helpful staff. Breakfasts were good and the place was really quiet at night. It also has a really nice, good-sized indoor pool. It's located just on the outskirts of the town so there's plenty of shopping and lake access in a very short walking/driving distance. Best of all, loons in the lake! Cons: The rooms, or at least the one we had, are a bit dated. Everything certainly looked clean, but definitely a bit worn down. One special note, for those getting the 'economy' room (307?); the bathroom needs some rework. The shower could fit 4 people easily, but the toilet is unbelievably low and is jammed into a corner, making the 'sit down' experience a bit of an adventure. I'm 5' 8" and 225 lbs., and it was definitely an 'issue.' If you're bigger than me, avoid this room until they redo the bathroom. Definitely not enough to take a star off, but something you and they should be aware of.

This review is for an issue my wife had a with the front desk lady - Angie…read more My wife was staying at the hotel for last 3 weeks or so for work assignments. And her stay got extended for another 2 weeks. Entire booking was done by an agent through the employer. This morning she went to reactivate the keys for the next 2 weeks. The lady at the front desk was very rude & unprofessional towards my wife and mentioned that my wife was not supposed to have complimentary breakfast. It was their fault because it was given to her when she checked in. Angie's behavior was as if my wife intentionally went for this lavish breakfast (believe me it's not). It was not her fault. It was their fault. Instead of apologizing for the mistake she gave attitude towards my wife. This is not acceptable. People in Bemidji are extremely nice towards foreigners. But this incident just threw us off. Most of the staff were very nice towards my wife. Next guest please make sure to check the name tag of this unprofessional employee at this hotel. If she doesn't know how to handle customers in a polite professional way, then she should find another profession which doesn't include customer service. Typical Karen attitude on a weekend.

Offered us free bottles of water (many Marriotts where we are platinum members don't do this) and helpful advice. The whole place including our room was in great shape and very stylishly decorated. The room was bigger than expected for this class of hotel. When I made the reservation I requested a quiet room on an upper floor and got it! The refrigerator was a larger size which was welcomed. A unique touch was the chest freezer on each floor with small pre-bagged ice vs those always broken ice machines. The free breakfast was standard for these types of hotels. Price was a tad high but it was week after holiday so lots of tourists like us. Highly recommended.

This is not a 4 star property, rather, the rating is based on expectations for this level…read moreaccommodation. Weird smell throughout. Hubs said it smells like cheap building materials. I'd say it was just odd, tho not so bad that we weren't nose blind to it shortly after arriving & didn't notice it while in the room. King room with plenty of space, outlets, lighting, temperature control & in-room amenities. The pad on the bed wasn't pulled tight or it wasn't sized correctly. I didn't sleep well because I could feel the lumps and ripples (princess & the pea moment). If I'd noticed BEFORE getting in bed, I'd have fixed it. I was flat-out beat tho & took the lazy way out. We, again, hit up breakfast. They had the standard spread of waffle maker, eggs (scrambled, omelet-like & boiled), sausage, potatoes & we greatly appreciated the seasonings & sauces available to give that same ole same ole a bit of pop. Parking was easy & we didn't use anything here besides the room & breakfast. We arrived late & left early the next morning, to officially start our tour. Note: We were 3rd of 4 in line to check in. The gal whipped out waters for #1, thanked him for being a Diamond member, told him what his points/bonus points were, explained ALL the hotel info - pool, gym, breakfast, check-out. # 2 gets up to the desk & the gal asks if they've stayed before, she replies not here but a lot of best westerns, giggle & gives hotel some info / #2 asks if there's Diamond Elite parking spaces (casual for hey, no mention of my loyalty, perhaps?) - response was "no, we're not that fancy" - no water given. We get up & the gal says, "did you catch all that or do you want it repeated?" We say we're good & she says most important thing is breakfast is at 6a - no waters for us. #4, took her back to interaction style of #1. It could be inconsistent or efficient, depending on how you look at it. (Had we asked for water, they no doubt would have given it. We had our own & it was perfectly visible at check-in.) Hubs is Diamond Elite. We booked direct with Best Western & didn't use points.

I'd give it a 5 but I had brought my king sized pillow from home and someone took the pillow out of my pillowcase and replaced it with a different pillow.

So I would suggest don't leave anything in your room that you're fond of

Another nice stay at the White Oak Inn!…read more The White Oak isn't fancy. It's a really decent, basic hotel with an up-north hunting & fishing type of vibe. We got to test out the pet friendly policy during this visit. What a nice amenity for a dog owner! For 79 bucks (plus tax) we got a room with 2 queen beds for 2 adults, 1 kid, and 1 big dog. When we arrived, the ladies at the front desk were watching a big white standard at the front desk so the owner could relax in the pool. This tells volumes about how nice the staff are at this hotel.
