Relaxing hockey weekend

We rented the honeymoon suite because this momma wanted to soak in a hot tub for the weekend. Overall, the room was nice. The pros- It was clean, the tub was amazing and the king size bed was SOOOO comfortable. The cons-tv was hard to operate. You had to hit this button, then do this button and then do that button. The hubby was little annoyed. Next, the fireplace didn't work. The heater was super noisy. The room theme/decor was kind of cheesy. I think it was supposed to give off Island Paradise vibes?? I'm not sure but it made me think that the bed should have had a vibration function, hahaha!!!!

Fantastic stay

Really cool place! Love that there are several restaurants and bars on property. The waterpark looked nice but was so busy that we avoided it. We did go to an event at the Alerus which was super convenient. Also went to the UND hockey games and they have fan busses to drop you off and pick you up after. We had 2 dogs with us and got a suite, which seemed to be quieter than most hotels rooms. Very clean and comfortable room. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying here next time we are in Grand Forks!

While some of the features like bunkbeds were fun for my son, the amenities were subpar. The rooms were loud and terribly lit. Bed was super uncomfortable.

Everything was ok. Cleanliness was ok. Swimming area was ok. Food options were ok. But the customer service was terrible!! Poor communication, being ignored at front desk and breakfast instead of a simple “hello, we will be right with you, or I am sorry about that, or we are very busy we will seat you in 10 minutes”. Nope just ignored. I’m the morning the front desk was empty, phones ringing, customers waiting and none to help. Terrible experience! Will stay somewhere else next time and just pay to come swim. Very disappointing!
