This summer of 2020, we were fortunate enough to spend an entire month at Clear View Resort and…read morecould not have found a better resort. We drove cross country from California with the goal of finding some peace, quiet and hopefully some distance from all the Covid madness, fortunately and rather by happenstance, we came across Clear View! From the very beginning John, the owner, was extremely attentive and an absolute pleasure to work with. John and his wife Trudy went above and beyond to make my family and I feel welcome, comfortable and safe in their gem of a resort. In our time there, we stayed in two separate cabins. The level of attention and detail that goes into the cleaning and resetting of the cabins is above anything my wife and I have ever seen, no detail was missed. By the way, every single cabin has been very recently remodeled down to the studs. The end result being modern, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen cabins are fully stocked with many thoughtful details which even a gourmet cook would appreciate. In the living rooms, our cabins had large screen TV's and high speed WiFi. The internet speed allowed my wife and I as well as our kids to conduct multiple Zoom meetings simultaneously with no issues. The bedrooms were cozy, and the beds outstanding in comfort. Outside of the cabins we enjoyed the amenities available at the resort. They included stand up paddle boards, paddle boat, bikes, a HUGE rope swing and a small yet clean and super kid friendly sandy beach. I could go on and on about the resort, but will end by saying that we are already planning on spending more time at the resort next summer and look forward to seeing our super hosts John & Trudy once again.

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.

Centrally located near the lake, there's a grocery store across the street and several places to eat within walking distance. We arrived and were greeted by Tabi. We were in a room right next to the breakfast area and laundry, but surprisingly we did not hear a thing in the morning. The place is built solid. We did not take advantage of the breakfast but did enjoy the fitness room and pool/spa. They also have different simple entree sandwiches in the evening, which is nice, but we went out to dinner. You're not paying for luxury linens and high-end spa products, but you are paying for clean, quiet rooms and great hospitality. Everyone at the front desk is so helpful and friendly. Especially enjoyed the friendly service from Tabi.

When I showed the front desk my reservation, he pointed out it was for September! They didn't have any rooms available for the night we were in town. They refuse to refund even a cent of the $93.60 that was charged. They are taking full price for a room they know won't get used, and have two months to rectify and discharge the reservation.

Nicer than expected, a good value…read more From the outside, I wasn't sure what to expect from this Super 8, which is split up into multiple buildings. I was glad that despite arriving after midnight due to thunderstorms and flooding in the area, I was able to get checked in relatively quickly. The layout was a bit confusing with breakfast in a side hallway and disconnected buildings, but my room was comfortable, so I couldn't complain. Not bad for the price paid.

The property is right on the lake with water toys available to play with (including kayaks), and docks for you to park your boat (or to rent one of theirs). There's also a heated pool, and a lodge with free wifi. The best part is that the resort is close to town so you can easily go and grab anything you forget. Also Patty and Clint are so friendly, and we love their dogs too.

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.

I've generally had a very good experience at most Holiday Inn Express hotels. Unfortunately this…read morehotel is pretty outdated and needs to be remodeled. Our room was on the smaller side; but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. When we checked in they unfortunately only had queen beds left; so it wasn't as comfortable as sleeping in the king beds we're used to. But it was fine. The bigger nuisance was the air conditioning in our room. It very noisy and I woke up several times throughout the night because of it. It also had trouble keeping the room a comfortable temperature. It was almost too cold with it turned on low. But it was too warm without it... It was frustrating. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was fine. Nothing special. They offered the typical breakfast options like cold cereal, bacon and eggs, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, and other items along with a variety of drinks. The warm breakfast options didn't look good to me; so I just had cold cereal. The front desk staff was very friendly when we checked in. She was personable and helpful; despite it being almost 10pm. She asked why we were in town, asked our trip, and explained the hotel accommodations very well. Sadly, I would not recommend this hotel until they remodel it. It just isn't very nice. Stay someplace else.

If this gentleman sets the standards, as G S Manager, then I better understand the attitude of the remainder of the staff. I am embarrassed to be here tonight but once reservations are made, it is difficult to change. We are Spire members, that means little or nothing, except to indicate that we see our share of properties. At check in, as my response to Mr. Luhmann's god awful method of taking care of customers, I thought I would embarrass him by mimicry. Didn't work. Customers are such an interruption to the work of a manager who has little or nothing to do. We had our room and I told Mr. Luhmann that I don't like a nosey floors. He responded that there is a kids hockey team at the property tonight and that if the noise was too loud, call the front desk and they would move us. Not good enough. In the middle of the night and not sleeping too well because of noise, I'm not one to be real friendly when it comes to having to change rooms. He changed our room and put us on 1st floor. We went out and purchased a window fan to make white noise.
