    Smelled like a urinal with cat and dog pee and musty smoke. Complained and got sent to another room that was just as bad. Went and got cleaning supplies and urine ordorizer and it was still the worst stay ever. Pee on the boxspring and God only know under the sheets. I was too scared to check. We already paid and had nowhere else to go. Charged 100$ deposit and haven't even gotten that back yet. Oh and then I'm informed this is where they take inmates when they have nowhere to go after being released from prison. NEVER AGAIN!

    Dirty hand towels.

WTF happened to the cinnamon rolls? Seriously, due to snowstorm on my route home, I pulled up a list of available hotels and selected this property over the Candlewood Suites almost exclusively due to HIE breakfast and, in doing so, paid an extra $40. The breakfast was great and the guy working there was helpful, friendly and very attentive. But those "new and improved" Cinnabon rolls were a total let-down. While they smelled good, they were lukewarm, too dense and largely taste-less. If I wanted taste-less mass prepared breakfast pastries I'd have stayed at the dozens of other hotel options. Instead, I stayed here for the awesome cinnamon rolls that HIE hotels are known for. I know you still have them - I had 2 on Tuesday morning in Fargo. I can only surmise that Cinnabon is paying you a ton of "dough" to proudly display their logo and serve their rolls. Don't get me wrong - I love Cinnabon rolls. But these are not normal Cinnabon rolls - these are some kind of 2nd rate imposters that obviously come frozen and then are thawed and slightly warmed to room temperature. I've had better cinnamon rolls out of vending machines. You are going to lose more money than you make on this deal. Am I overreacting here? If you think so then you don't understand the importance of breakfast pastries or the pure joy of eating a traditional HIE cinnamon roll. They are pastries that just simply make you happy and ready to face the day. The new ones made me want to go back to bed. This started as a 1 star review but this hotel is great and the people are awesome - it's not their fault that the corporate people are morons. But the cinnamon rolls are a differentiating factor for Holiday Inn Express. You've lost that now. And me.

There's a pet relief area, with dog waste bags available. The hotel is right next to a gas station/liquor. There are several restaurants & a Starbucks within walking distance. Upon first arrival, the parking lot might seem rather small. However, there is also parking available on the S/SW part of the hotel. The hotel staff was plating breakfast meals due to COVID. Two complaints: The pillows are mediocre. Also, I've stayed at this La Quinta several times. During one stay, the heat & A/C unit worked great. The other stay, it didn't work properly.

The little things (mostly annoyances that you would expect at a Motel 6/Super8 for a much cheaper price): - Booking sites show pictures of a water slide that no longer exists. Would not have booked if I had known this, as there were other options for the same price with better accommodations. - Parking lot is insufficient for hotel capacity. If you have a large vehicle, you will most likely have to park at the south side of the property behind the gas station if the hotel is busy (more on this later) - TV remote didn't work with Dish box. Could turn TV on and off and adjust volume, but not open TV app or change channels/etc. Thankfully, my company is a Dish partner and I know how to reprogram the remote. I have no confidence I could have gotten the staff to figure it out. - Shower curtain was installed incorrectly (too high), making it impossible to seal to the tub and keep water off the bathroom floor. - Tile work was shotty and bathroom fan only worked intermittently. - Breakfast was decent, but waffle/pancake station is ~40ft from the rest of the food options. Had another guest not pointed this out, it would have been easy to miss completely. The things that matter: - The aforementioned parking situation is completely shielded from view from any public spaces and not well lit. This is inherently dangerous, but something I would normally overlook. In this case, it did lead to our vehicle being broken into overnight. This is not the fault of the hotel but was a byproduct of the poor parking situation. They even have signs warning you to lock your doors and they aren't responsible for theft, so the thought isn't foreign to them. - We alerted the front desk to the situation and requested to see camera footage from the camera above the door on that side of the building (30ft from our vehicle) to either see the act occur or confirm that we did not mistakenly bring the missing items into the hotel. At first, we were told we would have to wait for a manager to access the system. We never did see a manager, but at the time we were asked to check back, were told that the camera in question does not work. After further questioning about other camera angles, it was revealed that NONE of the cameras work, and haven't been accessible since the 'new' owners took over two months ago. This is completely unacceptable for guest safety and the fact it hasn't been addressed already should tell you everything you need to know about the direction of this hotel. I expect it will go downhill quickly. Learn from our experience and choose one of the many other options.

I like not having to go to the front desk to do a formal check in, and I was able to go directly to my room without any issues. Comfy room, spacious. I really like the set up of this hotel; the elevator is in a convenient spot and the pool is right next to it also. The pool is heated which was so nice and I loved the hot tub. My only complaint other than the shower was that the usb plug next to the bed wasn't working so charging my phone was a pain (I forgot the wall charger part in the car). Overall, I'd stay again for sure.

We went back to the front desk and they took care of us - getting us a new room (which was actually an upgrade)! They said they would refund us completely and after calling them and connecting with Expedia (I booked the room through Expedia) I received a full refund. Unmatched customer service. As far as the Home2Suites hotel goes, the room we had was large and clean. We were only there for one night, but there was an entire living room in addition to the king suite and bathroom. If I have to nit pick something, the soap dispenser in the shower was empty and the extra bedding was missing pillowcases (I like a bed full of pillows). Not even worth taking a star away because the customer service was just outstanding. Breakfast was great in the morning, who doesn't love waffles?! Hot coffee, oatmeal, bagels and toast, fruit, and cereal. Overall, a wonderful stay.

The bed and pillows were super comfy and we really enjoyed our stay. The room was really clean as well. There was also plenty of parking, which was nice! The location is convenient and the price of the room was reasonably priced. While the room itself was reasonably priced in my opinion, the $75 pet fee seemed steep. We knew this going in, although if we traveled here again with our dog, I'm unsure if we would stay here again or look for a place that doesn't have such a high pet fee.

The location is very convenient, the price was affordable, and the entrance felt genuinely welcoming, especially with a fireplace going while a bitter cold storm raged outside.

The room itself was spacious, warm, and extremely comfortable, perfect for actually resting and recharging. Amenities were IMPRESSIVE. You heard me. heated pool, spa, fitness center, and a business center, all well maintained. Everything felt thoughtfully set up for travelers who actually need comfort, not just a place to crash. The only minor complaint (and it's a fair one) is the $75 pet fee. That said, it didn't take away from an otherwise excellent stay, thats just me being cheap and honest. Will absolutely be staying here again and would recommend it without hesitation! *Special Edit* I wrote the review while in my room so I had to come back and make an edit just to highlight the Breakfast Buffet! Wow! I was so impressed. The area was immaculate and the lady servicing the area was keeping everything FRESH. I'm not talking a continental tea/juice/coffee folks, you'll find the standard cereal, breads, cold bar; But you'll also find a fresh Waffle station, Hot Scrambled Eggs, French Toast Sticks, and Ham! All COMPLIMENTARY!

    I should have checked Yelp first…read more Dirty shower, soap pack open and left, the bed was not totally against the wall, the floor was scratched badly, they have a laundry but it was out of order, there was no guide on the TV, the night desk clerk didn't know how to get supplies that were out in the room. The breakfast was a disaster. The hot water was ice cold, there was only one napkin for the whole breakfast area, the food selection was limited. When I pointed this out to the morning desk clerk, he said the food staff had not shown up. No apology, no attempt to correct the problems, no real interest in doing anything. Apparently, the other guests had a similar feeling about the breakfast because the dining area was empty. We left and had breakfast at a restaurant on the way out of town. Since breakfast is part of what you are paying for at this hotel, we felt deceived. I guess that's enough to let you know we won't be back! The terrible thing is we have never had a bad experience with Country Inn and Suites, but this bad experience was a doozie NOTE TO YELP: This hotel is listed as a Radisson hotel. It is actually a Choice Hotel property.

When I went downstairs to get fresh sheets and pillowcases, I was told those weren't available by the person who was green screening on the kiosk in the corner. Where I said that was not acceptable, I didn't want to sleep on dirt sheets, I was told I could get a refund in the morning. I should've known by the little blood spots on the sheets exactly what was going on. I woke up in the morning and as we started to rouse out of bed, I looked over at my husband and pulled this off the side of his face. I instantly went downstairs and said this was unacceptable. We need a refund. What are you gonna do about it? We were told they're going to "talk to their pest control person to do an investigation and if it's confirmed that they are bedbugs then they'll give us a refund." Again, I said this is not acceptable. They eventually came up to the room an hour and a half later tipped up the mattress, and my husband clearly saw a bedbug in the middle of the bed which they flicked off and acted like was not there. I physically reacted allergic to some bites a few hours later after we left the hotel.

The second week, a regular two-bed room but both have been comfortable. Even the smaller room has enough space in it to spread out and I've done that as I have entirely too much stuff in this suitcase! Small single-cup coffee maker, microwave, mini-fridge. A decent work desk with enough power outlets. The wifi has worked well, even during the usual evening slow times. I have not used the fitness area or the pool, but the business center was well stocked. I have had breakfast here a couple of times and it is consistent with the Hampton brand - something with eggs (scrambled or an omelet), a breakfast meat (bacon or ham or sausage) plus bread for toasting, juices, fresh fruit, yogurts and such. It's a decent hot breakfast. The room has been mostly quiet with no noise from the nearby interstate. Some hallway noise - I wish they had installed slow-close doors on all of the rooms. Housekeeping has done a good job of resetting the room and restocking towels and the like. There is a restaurant/bar next door and a supermarket within walking distance. Plenty of parking. I would stay here again. Uh, I *have* stayed here again. [Review 10672 overall, 440 of 2019.]
