Stay away, pay a little extra and don't risk your life and health at this awful place. Drug addicts, dirty, awful smell in room, rude staff. Nothing good to say about this place.

Pretty much a homeless shelter. Rooms are way out dated and dirty. Down right nasty.

Charged 275 per night due to concert in town. Coffee but no coffee maker, dirty curtains, dirty floor, said queen bed but clearly not. Telephone was filthy. Only hot water in shower. we had no choice but to book as only room left at the time.

Plenty of staff to keep things running smoothly 24/7. Helpful, when I needed to use the internet and printer. Housekeeping was ready and willing to provide towels and other amenities. Free breakfast had a large variety of choices from Milk and cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, bread, and jams. Even a waffle bar with batter and hot syrup to make you own waffles. The best thing about staying here was the shower. It had great water pressure that was a real treat after driving all day and after waking up in the morning.

The hotel staff was really nice. Besides that the ceilings were falling apart, the room smelled like garlic and things were pretty old. Yes the room was $10 cheaper than the newer hotels...not sure if it was worth it

Hotel was safe and nice, for the price. I stayed there alone and felt safe. The area is simply beautiful and nice and close to UND, shopping, and food. The breakfast was okay, nothing exciting but expected for a cheap hotel. My only complaint was the smell of the hotel hallways leading to all the rooms. The hall smelled like cigarette smoke everyday... although I guess I didn't mind it because inside my room smelled just fine. While it wasn't the classiest of places to stay I'd definitely stay here again.

The gentleman (Tron) at the counter was very helpful. It was refreshing to be greeted the way we were after such a long drive. The hotel was clean and nice and close to the college.

It was a plain jane hotel. There were lots of little kids there the weekend we stayed. They were playing hockey in the hallway. The staff kindly curtailed the game. The breakfast room was nice. The facility was near the interstate near the university which was the reason for our visit. I was happy with stay. Nothing fancy but everything was adequate.

The room was dirty, the bed was dirty and the tub was dirty. The bed was unstable and made noise even with the slightest movement.

They seemed to have problems with my reservation and it took long. I was on my lunch hour and my time was limited.

Excellent breakfast, Friendly staff. A great place to stay. Keep up the good work.

Nice enough to sleep when you are tired. Sleep sleep sleep

Safe and comfy. Great value for the price. Vast parking and great location.

My room was fine and the facility was clean. The front desk was helpful at all times. My room hair blower didn't work and had to leave with wet hair; my non smoking room smelled like it was once a smoker's room but overall, pretty darn good for a two star motel. Very good location close to I29. I would stay there again without hesitation. Thank you.

Nothing fancy, overall it was good value for the price
