SouthShore Hotel on Lake Bemidji, Trademark Coll by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent
"We went up to visit our grandchildren and not as tourists. The hotel was great with all but one area. It was very clean, well kept, lots of amenities, a beach with jet ski, kyack and pedal trikes to rent, continental breakfast from 6 am to 10 am which was a better time span than most, check out at 11 am so no need to set an alarm and get up early to check out. The one and only downside is nobody supervising the pool area. There were several young children I would say ages 7 to 11 maybe left in the pool area with no adult supervision. Not the hotels fault (parental failure to follow rules) but if there were an attendant that could see the whole pool area these children would have left with their parents as they would not have had the option otherwise. Above all for the minimum time we spent actually at the hotel it was good."
