Hotels in Fargo

Fargo first received international attention as the focal point of the movie "Fargo." However, the real city is so much more than just the movie, offering sports, festivals, arts, and theaters. What the city really wants to be known for is the warmth of its people. While the winter temperatures can get cold, the people are always warm and friendly. Hotel visitors can choose from inexpensive motels to mid-range hotels to nicer inns and suites that include all the amenities.
