I wasn't expecting a cream of the crop hotel, but cleanliness and safety would have been nice! We were on the second floor and when we opened the window the wasn't even a screen. After that, we went to plug in our charger and found a old, used (we say moldy & we do have a picture of it - they say just empty) applesauce container by the bed. We would have let that good - a not even complained, but I woke in the middle of the night and stepped on a 1-inch piece of broken plastic on the floor...even a half-hearted vacuum job would have picked that up. The last straw was the next morning. My daughter was straightening the bed and found women's jewelry IN the BEDDING! It wasn't her jewelry, which make us feel like the linens were NOT changed. Management stated it could just belong to one of their staff, but with all the other filth...I doubt it!

Not terrible, but not good

The hotel is outdated with small rooms and few amenities. One of the biggest issues was lack of outlets for charging electronics. Carpet was pretty gross and hallways were dirty. Thankfully, the room was clean and we were able to make it through the one night stay and move on.

Disliked: Amenities
The room smelled like cigarette smoke, and they allowed smoking right outside of the back door. The extra lock on the room door was broken. The room was clean, except for the cig. smell. The price reflects to facility. It is a good enough place to stay for a night or two. Also, be aware that they lock the front door at 11 pm and they may not answer the bell.

The front desk workers were very nice and quick. However, our room was quite worn with age and use. The bathroom sink was not cleaned, the shower drain was very slow and cluttered the bathroom, and there was no screen on the window.

The most reasonable of properties in Moorhead MN. Room 109 had the lowest toilet I have ever, unfortunately, experienced in 60 years of travel. Room basics were adequate. No hair dryer. Staff was friendly and professional. Reception trainee was sharp. Breakfast was minimal. Good. quiet location on the southern perifery of the city.

Property was dirty in the parking lot, hallway to room smelled of vomit, electrical panels in halls we open and unlatched. We got to the facility and room wouldn’t open with keys. Multiple rooms were missing locks and there was a huge gap under the door out to hallway. Bathroom had hair on the floor. Lobby area was dirty and very outdated.
