The Drake Motel was very clean, neat and tidy. The young Lady that checked me in was very polite, kind and friendly. Will definitely stay here in the future.

Easy to find and exceptionally clean. Best place to stay in Black Duck. Only 13 mile from the re-known Hoot’n Holler saloon.

Each room is themed. Ours was baseball. The room was very clean and the owners thought of extras such as small, colored towels specifically for cleaning and shoe/boot cleaners and a shoe tray/mat. The bed and pillows were comfortable and very clean. Everything about the room was clean and comfortable. Truly enjoyed this place!

This is an undiscovered gem of a motel, away from the noise of Bemidji. If you area hunter/fisherman, this would be the place to stay. You would not be far from Lower and Upper Red Lakes. There is one issue about staying here and it is not the motels fault, my wife and I could not find a place to eat in Blackduck.

They have well manicured grounds. Their decorating motif is centered around hunting themes and a black duck is central to the entry area. All is understated and created a back to nature feeling = the North Woods.

Less expensive than the chain across the street.
Room was clean but mattress needed to be replaced. Older motel that shows its age.

It is a good hotel that is better than expected. The owners were friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean, and the internet was good enough. It is a small town, but there were places to eat and friendly people.
