Greeted by the smell of pot, body odor, and cigarettes. Staff struggled to find a clean room to put me in and lacked social skills. Advertised amenities not functional, such as TV, hot tub, or morning coffee. Loud guests in the hall until 11 pm and thin walls.
Linens appeared clean but the bed was not properly made. The bathroom was gross.
Toilet and shower not clean. Noisy, smelly AC unit. I didn't want to touch anything!

Worst place I've ever stayed

The whole place smelled like cigarettes, the fire extinguisher mount was empty and used as an ashtray. There was trash and food completely covering the floor under the bed, cigarette or mold stains on the sheets, used towels in the bathrooms, and light switches falling off the walls.

Yuck. Avoid.

My room smelled like recent smoking and the screen was missing. I asked for a new room. This one was even worse. The smoke alarm had been disabled with a plastic bag. It was also unplugged and missing a battery. The screen was missing. One of the two beds was broken and nearly dumped me on the floor when I sat on it. The room had not been cleaned, dirty toilet and sink, and used sheets. They fixed the smoke alarm and cleaned the room. I was by myself so the one broken bed was not a problem for me. Hopefully, they fixed it after I left. The new sheets and towels seemed freshly washed. Hopefully, they were. Long wait at the front desk.

When we booked the room it included a pool and breakfast. They no longer provide this. The toilet was dirty and the parking lot had garbage all over it. It was not a good stay. They also have removed the coffee pots and microwaves from all the rooms. We needed these for medical reasons. Not happy

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!
