Absolutely LOVED our stay at the HODO! Such a great location and amazing property. Anyone can stay at a chain hotel…this place is special. The rooms are adorned with local artists / artwork and the accommodations are great. It says it’s a three star hotel…but our stay at the HODO surpasses many four and five star hotels we’ve stayed at in the past. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area too. And the BED!! So so dreamy!!!! Make sure to ask about the rooms - we took a mini tour of a few rooms that were available to see. Each one is different. There is a room w beautiful displayed local artist pottery, another w a gorgeous jacuzzi tub in the middle of room with cascading water from ceiling to fill it up! The interior of each room is a combo of old world brick and gorgeous contemporary features. The custom wood built in furniture is another plus. THANK YOU for an awesome experience! We will be back next time passing through.

Excellent Boutique hotel in downtown Fargo. A unique experience. The only problem was the bar downstairs held a karaoke night which was rather loud and kept us awake till after midnight on our 2nd night there. Not sure that issue could be resolved but we enjoyed the walkable location and solid service. Very nice!

I would recommend to keep any valuable belongs locked in your vehicle as I returned to the hotel after dining out to meet the staff inside the room which I have never experienced in any other place. The expectations of luxury was not met, overall a nice place to rest. Pieces of art in the rooms was very nice touch.

Very nice hotel in downtown Fargo. Walking distance to several restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and boutiques. Loved the wine and cheese happy hour at 5:00 and the turndown service at 9:00. Pastries and coffee for breakfast was a nice start to our day. Highly recommend!
