My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms had a strong unpleasant musty smell, making it feel like bad smelly feet, I found the service to be professional and welcoming, catering to my business needs. The location was convenient, close to the University of North Dakota campus in Grand Forks, which was a plus. The dining options were varied and available even with the inexpensive rate; however, an hour before closing was too early. The facilities were decent, but the strange smell in the rooms was a downside.

The hotel has been updated over the years but still needs new curtains. My room was comfortable and clean, with some charm to it, although there was a strong unpleasant musty smell. The service from the housekeeping staff was awesome, they were friendly at check-in and check-out, but had to reset some room keys. The location was close to the things we were doing, great being close to I-29 & US-2, quiet but a bit of a drive to shopping areas. The dining options were not extensive, mainly common choices with limited lactose-free options. The facilities were adequate.

When I first checked into the hotel, I noticed a slight odor in the room, but after keeping the window open during the day, it wasn't too noticeable in the evening. The non-smoking room was decent, despite the initial odor issue.

When we first got to the hotel, the rooms had a slight odor, but opening the window during the day helped. Although some areas behind the furniture were not cleaned, the room offered to us was not disgusting. The service was friendly and even helped us get a room when they were overbooked. The location, while quiet, was a bit of a drive to shopping areas, but it was clean and easy to find. The dining experience was okay, with some items missing, but the whole wheat bread rolls were satisfying.
