Have stayed at this hotel many times now for its convenient location up the street from the Fargo airport. The staff is always welcoming and kind. I usually am only there for the one night in order to make an early morning flight out so their location is great, the beds are very comfortable and the rooms have a full kitchen and small table setup so you could cook and make the most of your stay. I have not used those amenities but it’s a great option knowing it’s there. They have a nice size parking lot and I had a rental car this time so that made things easy. In the past I’ve worked with them to get a ride to the airport through their local “shuttle” service but also have used uber when needed. In a good location to walk to some restaurants nearby and overall a great spot to stay highly recommend.
