Very clean and we'll kept. Gas grill available for guests to use, and they will freeze anything you hunt. Pleasant surprise to stay here. Was here 5 years ago under different management, not so great back then.

Other than a sticky bathroom floor, everything was better than I had expected. Everyone that was working at the desk were very friendly and the room was large and clean.

The weather was bad and the winds pushed us off the road on i94 so we dropped south and took 13 east only to be met with hard rain, high winds and a piece of debris that knocked our headlight out This was at midnight. I called this motel and spoke with Chuck. I felt so bad for waking them but they helped us out. Very nice owners. Charming motel. I love their ice machine. Room was clean. Comfy beds. Fridge and microwave. Pet friendly with a $10 fee per pet which is reasonable. Room is spacious as well as bathroom. Thank you so much! We loved it.

My buddy and I stayed at the Wishek Inn for a hunting trip during the second week of October 2016. The hotel had just been purchased by new owners a couple weeks before and we had a great experience. The owners are very friendly and have been putting in a lot of work to clean up the place. We were very happy with our stay in the amenities. Wishek is in rural North Dakota and I imagine most people booking a stay there are aware of this fact. My only minor grievance was that I think I was allergic to the room - I started sneezing about 30 minutes after we arrived back at the room each day. I definitely will stay here again on future hunting trips. I think it's one of, if not the best option for places to stay in this area of North Dakota.

What a great place. The room was super clean, the bed was comfy, the c-store downstairs has plenty of snacks and pizza, and the rates are very reasonable. I didn't get the name of the lady who checked me in but she was super nice and even told me a bit about the town of Wishek and where I could find everything. Next time I come this way, even if I'm in the next town over, I'll make a detour to stay here.

Stayed for a baseball tournament and the manager was very accommodating with our schedule and friendly. The C-store had lots of options for food and snacks. The rooms were spacious, clean, good shower and a great running air conditioner on those 90+ degree weather. Thank you Charles!!!

Room was clean with pillow top mattress that was wonderful after a long trip. New owners were friendly and very helpful. Will stay again when return to the area.
