I was pleasantly surprised with my stay! Great check-in, the room was clean and not needing repair in any way. Roomy bathroom, fluffy towels. The bed was comfortable, a firmer mattress, which I like. Great coffee machine with a lot of choices. Average breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausages one day and then with bacon on Saturday. Well stocked and and kept clean. I will stay here again when I'm in Minot.

Breakfast was pretty good, a little limited. A couple of juices were out. Eggs, sausage or bacon, cereal, waffle maker, some fruit milk and nice coffee maker. Rooms clean, showing a little age, but nice and quiet.

The staff were great. The non lobby, exterior doors which were supposed to be secured, weren’t so anybody could enter without a keycard. The room air unit made a rattling noise each night that made it difficult to sleep through.

There is a need for maintenance at this hotel. There were several issues with our room from lights burnt out to plug-ins not working. Elsewhere there were out of order signs. However, having said that, the room was clean, big and the beds comfortable. While I did have to wait at the desk for the attendant to come, she was friendly and helpful.
