Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was clean but smelled like someone had been smoking in it. No mattress cover on the bed, mattress was old and dirty looking. Carpet in the hallway was stained and there were holes in the walls. the smoke detector in our room was hanging by the wires. Shower door was hard to open and once open, hard to close. We were woken up by yelling outside, police were present, and we found a syringe in the parking lot.Pictures were nothing like what we saw when we got here.

Sadly disappointing

Room was filthy. Dirty towels in bathtub, holes in walls stuffed with toilet paper, and picture in room not sure what was on it if body fluids? Stayed at Bison Inn in Moorhead prior to this and room was clean. Not sure I’ll stay here in Fargo again.
There were several holes in walls stuffed with toilet paper? Not sure of purpose but was gross!

Shady business

Awful place smells like pee in the rooms and there was no hdmi cable to watch tv. Then supposedly we got put in a room that wasn't suppose to be rented out. They tried to keep my money but eventually returned it after talking to hotels.com. Then the next day went and charged me $54 and I'm still fighting with them to get that back. Shady place and people.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very cheap (don’t pay more than $60 for a night) so expectations are low. They have drained their pool and killed their breakfast. You can expect torn carpet, crumbling walls and tight parking. I did not even get a trash can in my room. My non smoking room smelled of cigarette smoke. They do have clean bedding and towels.
