Top Northwest Minnesota Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bemidji, MN

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast - ample available and hot items (eggs, sausage, biscuits) were fresh and hot. Friendly breakfast preparer was observant of needs and quantities. Double queen room was clean and quiet. Gym was clean and had all the necessities. Treadmills had a great view of the lake! We thought the beds were too firm (firmer than we like) - but that is personal preference - and no one was at the desk in the morning to check us out, so we had to checkout via text. All-in-all, a nice stay. Would stay here again."

Ruttger's Birchmont Lodge

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable, clean and kept. I had a great view of Lake Bemidji but unfortunately it rained most of the time I was there but the view was amazing when the rain cleared. People were very friendly and bars turned out to be a local hangout for people in the area which added a homey feel. I don’t frequent bars but theirs were welcoming. Everyone was very friendly. The only negative was the breakfast, though it came with the room fee, it was a bit weak on the edible side. Seemed to be tailored for kids. I didn’t get to use the pool facility but it was located separately which is likely good from a noise standpoint. They have an amazing gift shop in the lobby with what looked to be high quality items for sale. I would stay again if ever in the area."

City Express by Marriott Bemidji

10/10 Excellent

"We came in for a wedding and requested an early check in. We called one week before and the day before! Despite being packed with a softball tournament crowd, they fit us in, and gave us a beautiful, chic clean room. We loved the renovations and the fact that we had access to a pool, free coffee and more."
