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.

Wait till owners finish updating

Nice front people. The rest of my stay: yuk. No chair in room, dirty bathroom sink, pool dry, no lobby coffee, no coffee maker or hairdryer in room. The place is “under new management and needs lots of work. Bed was okay, didn’t see any bug problems. Coffe shop next door is great and busy on Sunday morning. Lady at Fargo visitor center said “oh no you didn’t!” when I told I stayed at Bison. Cheap price but getting less than paid for.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was dangerous, awful, filthy, terrible. The rooms were beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The smell of smoke and cigarettes was so strong it hurt our eyes and nostrils. We tried two rooms, and things were just as bad in the second room as the first. The fire alarms and smoke alarms were not even working. This hotel should be removed from your list of options. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. I am expecting a full refund for the room we had to leave in order to be safe for our overnight in Fargo. The only relatively decent experience was the front desk woman who checked us in. She did the best she could to try and help things but even her kindness was no match for the beyond horrific experience we just had.
