It was such a beautiful hotel in a great, Central, fun location in downtown Fargo. I Loved how it is an old, beautifully renovated building. The Staff were wonderful and attentive and they had all the extra touche: a Wine and cheese hour, room service, bed turned down with chocolates. I just loved it and I would definitely stay here again!
