DOUBLETREE BY HILTON HOTEL BEMIDJI

We had an exceptional weekend at this lovely hotel!! The room was spacious and comfortable with a glorious view of the lake that we enjoyed from our balcony. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food terrific! Loved the whole thing. Strong recommend!

This was our 2nd time staying at this hotel. The location of the hotel cannot be beat sitting directly on the Lake with beautiful, serene Northern Minnesota views. The problem with the property is that it is in terrible need of upgrading and replacing the furnishings within the hotel. We were actually upgraded due to my Gold status to a spacious 2-room suite at the end of the hallway on the 3rd floor overlooking the parking lot of which I don't remember the room number. The furniture inside was dirty and worn and had seen better days. The couch was filthy and we had to put extra towels down upon it to sit on it. Hopefully management and corporate will rectify this situation with this hotel since it is a shame with all else the hotel has going for it.

I stayed here for an extended work trip in November. As a lifetime diamond member I can tell you this hotel is really going out of their way to work with what they have and the kindness of the staff is the icing on the Cake. Hotel is a little older with carpeted rooms and older style furnishings, but the rooms are well maintained and you can tell maintenance works overtime to keep the rooms and common areas clean and in working order. Housekeeping does a phenomenal job and front desk staff were always helpful and friendly. Bonus: can use your loyalty credit for breakfast, the attached restaurant or minimart. Saw lots of locals coming in for breakfast each day. Book the lakeside room, it’s worth it.
