The staff checking my family is was very nice! When we got to the room it smelt bad inside. We tried to open the window for fresh air and the window lock was broken and then the screen also was broken as if someone tried to open it from the outside. The pillows for the beds were so small I would recommend a normal sized pillow for a queen bed. When I was sitting with my child having breakfast, a gentleman and a woman came in and started talking to the man working about some lady in a room and how they would drag her out of the room. They also spoke about coming back later and hoping she would be gone. There was more but it’s hard to piece together exactly what was being said. I felt very uncomfortable and if I would have heard this the night before I never would have let my family stay.

Will book again!

I came to visit my sister, and we both stayed here for 3 nights. The room was clean, there were clean sheets and towels, soap is provided in the bathroom if you need it. The pictures are exactly what the room looked like! Breakfast was decent. It’s from 6-9am, so we only had it one morning (too early for us). It’s around a few shops and restaurants, including the mall and Target! So, walking can get you by if you don't have a car. The only thing that was a tiny issue is that it doesn’t have an elevator or ramp. My sister has a nerve issue that makes it really hard to walk sometimes, and it was really hard for her at times to climb the stairs. Other than that, I would definitely book here again! 😁

Good

My room was good. I feel like it could’ve been a little cleaner. Check in was easy. There were vending machines available. Breakfast was OK but I feel like there wasn’t a lot of people staying so I understand not having a lot of things out for breakfast. The pool didn’t have any towels, but the front desk was able to help promptly.

Saved us in a pinch!

We made a last-minute booking here after our car broke down. The staff was accommodating and helped us check in at almost 2 in the morning. Breakfast was pretty small and put away very early, so we didn't get any food. The room had an odd smell, but the bed was comfortable. Good for the price!

Perfect for the price

everything was very nice for the price, I can tell it's been upgraded from last year, the hot tub still isn't working right, and there's not a lot offered at breakfast but it's okay for the price. I definitely wouldn't complain and would go back there again.

Sketchy

We are waiting on a refund as we had to cancel our reservation and there were no other rooms available. We were in a 1st floor room and there was water pouring out of the bathroom light fixture. There was so much water on the floor it made it's way out of the bathroom to the hallway carpet. This is a major fire hazard. We had to drive an extra hour to find an available room to rent due to it being a busy weekend in Fargo. It was almost 1am by the time I found a hotel for my family (with 2 young kids) to stay. On a side note, there were sketchy individuals handing around and a young child playing in the parking lot by the dumpster at 11:30pm.

I came here with my 12 year old daughter. I had actually stayed at the property about 10 years ago before it changed ownership. Back then the place was well landscaped, good outdoor lighting and a welcoming entrance. That was not my experience this time. No lighting in the parking lot, an odd blue and mauve exterior made this spot look abandoned on the outside .. plenty of cars in the parking lot, but gives off a sketchy vibe. Lots of people hanging around the parking lot made us feel uncomfortable or unsafe. I will say the inside was very bright and freshly decorated. Very nice greeting from staff at check in. The room was mostly clean, we found food from the previous stay in the fridge and the notepad next to the phone had a coffee ring on it, but the bed was clean and comfortable. Although the pool is small, it was clean. Again lots of foot traffic in the pool area of people not even swimming, made us not want to utilize the pool space very long. Since there were no coffee makers in the room, I had hoped morning breakfast would have coffee as an option ... WORST COFFEE I have ever had ..like hot dish water... No amount of creamer can fix that. I saw another review complaining about the coffee... It's true it's horrible... However the rest of breakfast is good. For the price I paid, I would hope to have a sense of safety for myself as well as my child, and although nothing happened, the place carries a sketchy vibe. I won't be staying at this property again .
