We had to pull off the highway in a February blizzard and this hotel was right at the highway exit making it easy to find in a near white-out. The front desk clerk coped well with the sudden influx of customers (some more patient than others - Please, people, it's not the clerk's fault that the prices are too high... More

I stay here every time I'm in the area. The staff is excellent and very friendly. The cookies in the afternoon at the lobby are to die for! Chocolate reece's pieces! Room is clean. The breakfast bar is pretty standard. Comfy room.

I have driven by this hotel many times on my way South without ever getting off the freeway and stopping. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Room was clean large and confortable, front desk was helpful, free breakfast was excellent and all went well. Next to hotel was a nice place to eat reasonably for supper and a... More

My first impression of the hotel wasn't all that great. I was struggling to wheel the luggage cart through the front door and a woman mopping the floor and the front desk person just stood there and watched. I couldn't hold the door open and push the cart trough. I'd say helping someone in that situation isn't good hotel service,... More

I am a priority Rewards member and have never been treated so poorly at a Holiday Inn or Express. Rude, snippy, short tempered! This is how I describe the manager, she needs some people skills. She was rude and at no point wanted to work with the patrons' problems at hand. I didn't talk to one person at the place... More

We were in town for a family weekend and booked this hotel because it sounded like a great place for children to play. The pool was really dirty and in bad shape - lots of broken pieces (up high, nothing dangerous) and the kids slide was ok, but at the bottom was a large piece of plastic that was supposed... More

Overall, the hotel was clean, good breakfast, and the pool looked fantastic for kids. But I came away thinking I probably would not stay here again. The main reason was the room that I had was one of the smallest hotel rooms I have ever been in. Just trying to get to the window to open it was a chore... More

I seek out Holiday Inn Express hotels everytime I travel and this one isn't kept up to the excellent standards as expected. While the pool area is large and has a big waterslide the whole area was filthy, as if it hadn't been cleaned in a week to two and hadn't been deeply cleaned in months. The kind of place... More

My fiance and I were drving to Fargo and because the roads were bad, we pulled into this hotel, hoping for a vacancy. GREAT service by Sami, the desk lady. She upgraded us because I am a Priority Club member. Although we were only going to be there for 12 hours, we had a very relaxing time. The room was... More
