Breakfast is often described as limited or subpar, with a few mentions of waffles or pancakes as a bright spot.

The room was nice and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the hotel seems to have some long term residents that are otherwise homeless. The back of the hotel had these people hanging out in the parking lot. It felt a little sketchy so we moved our vehicle to the front and had no issues.

First the good comments: -the front desk staff was friendly, smiling, and very efficient -the price was lower than others in the area -convenient to I80/90 -safe parking -the shower appeared to be new …and the not so good: -see photos -I slept with my feet at the head of the bed due to the picture hanging out from the wall -the free breakfast was lacking, so we picked up food at a restaurant -There were stains and marks on the walls, curtains, etc -the room smelled like bleach

The man who checked us in was so friendly and welcoming. High points to him both for check in and check out. He was there when we checked in at about 11:30 PM and he was also there the next morning when we checked out at about 9 AM. Other than him, you get what you pay for here. No elevators. Old furniture in the lobby. Worst though was that our room had the most awful smell!! Almost like some stinky socks or shoes were hidden somewhere in the room. Luckily, we had some air freshener and I always travel with some small candles so we were able to light that to make it a little more tolerable. Fortunately we arrived pretty late at night, so we were just were there to sleep and we got out of there first thing in the morning. The bed was comfortable, we think it was maybe a newer mattress. The bathroom also had been updated (Sink, toilet and shower) However, that being said, there was brown streaks of something running down the wall so they neglected to repaint in there. We won’t stay here again.

The property is not appealing to the eye at all. Our room was clean. One of the maids could not understand that we wanted 1 towel, so we just let it go. There was something splattered on the bathroom wall and a little cap that covers a screw on the back of the toilet was missing, but all in all we were very satisfied we would stay there again.

Accommodations are spartan, but well-kept. Room, bathroom, etc., all very clean. Not much in the way of extras, but adequate (fridge, microwave, etc.). Only negative: terrible breakfast options - especially considering how much they charge on ND football weekends.

I would not recommend this hotel. I'll just talk about my "nonsmoking" room: it smelled of stale smoke, had cigarette burns in the sheets and on the AC unit. The kleenex box had either blood or pizza sauce on it and the hangers were in disrepair. Couldn't watch tv as it wasn't programmed. My room was at the very end of the building, by the exit and stairs and was noisy past 3am. The safety catch was loose and appeared to have been tampered with. You know the place isn't great when the front desk person doesn't ask you how your stay was. I left early just so I could breathe better.

We arrived late checkin around 12:30 in the morning. The front desk employee was friendly and courteous. The room was clean. I went into the bathroom and once I turned on the lights there were 2 cockroaches, I killed them. I was really tired so I went to bed. No one at the desk in the am to tell so I left key in the box and started my drive home .

I do not recommend. Dirty, uncomfortable, overall just a dive. Cigarette burn holes in the blankets. Ripped curtain to the window. Wouldn’t even shower. Do not recommend unless you are ok with these kinds of things and then you will be fine.

The price was quite reasonable and the room was better than expected. Comfortable bed, no lumps or dips. There were some improvements being done, which is good. The breakfast area looked basic, but a waffle machine and cereal is all I would need. Starbucks right across the street with great staff. Location is right off the highway and very close to good dining options. Staff was good. My only complaint was putting me in a room next to someone they knew they were going to kick out. I use ear plugs but my daughter was awoken by police at midnight kicking out the person in the room next door. I was not woken up, though. I recommend for an overnight stop.

Clean and comfortable room. Didn't interact with the staff much, but what i did observe they were diligent at getting their job done. The only area of opportunity i experienced was the hot water in the shower. It was just a bit hotter than luke warm, even having it turned all the way up, and it only lasted 10 minutes.

The rooms were clean and well-maintained, which is always my top priority. The furniture appeared to be new, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable, providing a good night’s sleep. The inclusion of a microwave and fridge in the room was a nice touch, adding convenience for longer stays. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, with a good selection of basic items, including pancakes, which were a nice treat. While it’s not an extensive spread, it’s enough to start the day off right. The location is within walking distance to several bars and restaurants, making it easy to grab a meal or enjoy the local nightlife without needing to drive. If you’re looking for affordable accommodations in a convenient location, this is a good choice.
