This place is a bio hazard. There were blood and urine stains on the mattresses and sheets. The phone had a weird crust on it. There was a dried blood pool around the corridor door. There was a bullet on the ground next to my car. We reserved 2 rooms, but after encountering the smell of rotting decay and the chemical smell of God knows what, we got our money back. Because there was a wrestling tournament in Fargo we couldn't find any accommodations at the last minuit, so we had to drive 2 more hours after driving 14 hours already. The people hanging around were the unsavory type and people were openly doing drugs in the parking lot and stair well. The window was broken in one room and in the other there was a smaller TV in front of a larger broken TV. Anywho, Do NOT stay here if you have an ounce of self respect. The only thing to help this place is to burn it down. Seriously, the department of health needs to shut this joint down.

Really bad experience. People outside of the hotel in the parking lot drinking up until 5am And to much noise around. Also I reserved a non-smoking room and when I got the room it did smell nothing but smoke from cigarettes and who knows what else.

There were bare wires sticking out from the wall in our room. The mattresses were so old and worn out that you could see the wear patterns in them. All of the bedding had stains on it. The pillows were cheap and old and were more like towels than pillows. The pool was out of order. The ice machine was out of order, the coffee machine was out of order. There was not staff at the front desk at all at check out and no one came. I waited for a few minutes, called out several times and ended up just leaving the keys there. I didn't get a receipt and have no idea if they released the hold on my credit card. At check in, they advised not to park near the hotel because because some contractors had been getting paint on customers cars. Back to the room, the carpets were stained, the toilet was dirty and we showered with our flip flops on because of the stains and mold in the shower. Don't waste your time or money with this place. One of the worst places I've ever stayed at.
