Great place to stay, especially if you're traveling on the "gov rate". These are indeed suites,…read morethey have a mini kitchen with a full size dishwasher, microwave and fridge. There is a small couch, desk, dresser, two side table and (of course) the bed. The closet has space for hanging clothes, three half shelf's and a full length shelf across the very top. Amenities are nice; pool, small gym, jacuzzi, and laundry. The hotel has a breakfast buffet each day, and on Monday thru Wednesday they have a social hour with beer, wine, and snacks. The lobby, elevators, common area carpets and walls look great. The staff are incredibly nice and were more than helpful in telling me about places to see and eat at. The room I had was very nice, clean and comfortable. It has a thermostat I could control to make the room more comfortable. If you have a critical eye, the room was showing a little wear. The vinyl flooring in the kitchen and the ceiling in the shower had some slight water damage. The desk chair was shedding its top layer of fabric, and the ottomans had seen their fair share of use. Overall great experience and I would come back again. I love the Amenities offered here to guests, and the staff are very nice.

I have no real complaints other than the thin walls. I could hear the next door room snoring incredibly loud. They offer a lot of amenities such as dinner, wine and beer in the evening and breakfast. The breakfast was kinda garbage but it was free. Basically some bagels, fruit, oatmeal and odd omelets. They rotate bacon or sausage every other day. The pool area was nice and it remained open until 11. The hottub was actually hot as well. Overall it's not a bad spot to stay the night. They have kitchenettes in the rooms and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of hot water with good shower pressure. Try to get a top floor room though.

I'm going to say that this was the hotel of choice for years for me. I was here this week (May…read more2026) and my shower was gross. I beg you to use bleach in shower to get rid of black mold. There is no way a cleaning crew can walk out of my bathroom and say it was ok. I also had black long hair on my bathroom shelves. I'm blonde. I beg you to clean so you continue to get business and not be compared to the road king. Step it up. AND my plastic glasses were not properly wrapped in sealed plastic so Ofcourse they were garbage. Do better! it's not hard. And if people want clean towels bring them. Do not make us bring down Dirty and exchange them. We pay you. It's not a favor. I see these staff people sitting around. Be a hotel not a dorm. Thanks.

OK - not great but at least an explanation. Day 2 - room still not cleaned? The guy at the front desk was very nice, very apologetic - said he'd leave a note for housekeeping. Day 3, Day 4 - You guessed it, they didn't clean our room. Management doesn't care, front desk can't do anything - I'll find another hotel next time I'm in the area.

Nothing fancy at all, just home cooked great food. Who ever is in the back cooking up this amazing food is doing an amazing job and with them cooking it will always be shining. The place was clean with style, the bathrooms didn't have a spot of dirt. It really is well taken care of. The service was a little slow at first but the lady was helping a big table of people. She did an amazing job and always checked on us and refilled our drinks fast. This place is a hidden gem of a place and we will be returning again for sure. God bless you all

There were restaurants and shopping within walking distance. One of our favorite Mexican restaurants was literally outside the door of the hotel. The hotel was very clean. The rooms I thought were nice. The bathroom was a five out of five. It had a huge sink and huge walk-in shower everything very clean. We've stayed here a few times when we've come to North Dakota to visit relatives. I would highly recommend the Holiday Inn express and oh by the way, their breakfast is pretty good, I've had better but it's not bad for a freebie..
