Said no to discount and was rude. Appears they live in the hotel and use the area that would serve breakfast as their personal kitchen and living area. Room was 'ok' - you could tell they were putting lipstick on a pig, just painting over water stains, had a hole in the wall that matched the end of the TV remote exactly. I would not advise staying here unless all you want is a run down room for cheap, this is your place then!!

I was very disappointed after checking in learning that they don't offer breakfast, even though they advertise it, and their pool was closed but I think that had more to do with COVID. Also outside of the room the hotel had a weird smell that was kind of unpleasant, and they didn't have a fitness room. I think they overcharged us as well because it was over $300 for 2 nights.

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.

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. Thanks for another nice stay! -Daddy Maxx Retro

Service was efficient, though not particularly warm or friendly -- but everything we needed was taken care of without issue. Breakfast was a great bonus -- complimentary and tasty! I especially loved making my own mini waffles -- perfectly crispy, sweet, and totally satisfying. We also made use of the pool and hot tub area, which was a highlight. It was a bit chaotic when we stopped by just before 10pm, but after the switch to adults-only hours (10pm-midnight), it was calm and relaxing -- we had the whole space to ourselves! My only wish is that they'd provide full-sized pool towels instead of the tiny hand towel-sized ones. Overall, a clean, comfy, and convenient place to stay -- great value and a great time! Would absolutely stay here again. Our hotel stay suited us perfectly for a weekend getaway with friends!

While I can honestly say that I did not expect a place like Bemidji to be on a list of "must see"…read moreplaces to go in the US, here we are. I devote a huge amount of that to our awesome hotel! To begin with the staff was amazing, they were so efficient and kind. The breakfast spread was amazing, also coffee and tea around the clock (excellent cup of coffee might I add, not that weak stuff). Beyond that the amenities were everything we wanted and didn't know we'd be getting. Biking around the lake at sunset, watching the sun go down from the hot tub, and just an overall sense of ease relaxing in front of the fireplace. The king room was so comfortable and quiet, and the bedding was so soft! If you find yourself in this corner of the world check this place out.
