Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was perfect for our family, but it got warm at times. We faced some issues one evening and found the seating lacking in comfort.
My stay at the hotel was quite good overall. The rooms were excellent and definitely provided a wonderful experience, although they weren't great for my back. The service was superb, with a kind and very friendly staff. The location was great, near the college hockey games, and I particularly enjoyed the pool area. The dining experience was also good, even though it could have been better. Value for money was fair considering the amenities provided.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, after a switch, turned out to be pretty clean and fully equipped with coffee makers, fridge, and microwave, which was a nice surprise. The service, however, initially lacking in friendliness and knowledge, ultimately improved to be friendly and welcoming. The location near college hockey games was suitable, but a bit far from other attractions in Grand Forks. The dining was hit and miss with limited options, but the facilities overall were decent.
My stay at the hotel left a little to be desired. The rooms looked uncared for and there was a mix-up with my reservation date. Unfortunately, my room did not have a working toilet, which was quite inconvenient. However, the hotel's location was convenient for attending events at the nearby Alerus Center.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were not ready on time, but once settled in, they offered various entertainment options like the waterpark and slot machines. The service lacked friendliness and attention to detail, making it less than ideal for customer satisfaction. The location was convenient for college hockey games but suffered from cleanliness issues. Although the dining options were plentiful, there were some minor setbacks. Overall, a place with potential but in need of improvements.
My stay at the hotel had its pros and cons. The rooms were nice, but the pillows needed replacing, and the lack of ceiling lights made it challenging to use my iPad comfortably after dark. The service was a mix of incredibly rude at check-in but excellent and super friendly during my stay. The location was great for my needs, being close to the State B event next door but a bit far from other attractions in Grand Forks. The dining experience was enjoyable, although some improvements could have been made. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
