Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed to negative: multiple reviews mention stained upholstery and couch, dingy smell, worn furniture and specific reports of unclean areas (under dining table, stained curtains). Some guests reported clean rooms, but recurring cleanliness issues lower this score.
Service
9.2
Strongly positive: numerous mentions of friendly, helpful staff, an outstanding associate at check-in and an accommodating manager. Service is rated high to reflect consistent positive comments and to help balance weaker cleanliness/room issues.
Location
9
Very positive: repeatedly noted as convenient (directly in front/behind West Acres Mall) with restaurants and shopping within walking distance.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed to below average: praises for comfortable beds and spacious suites with kitchenettes contrast with multiple reports of worn furniture, stained couches, aging rooms and complaints about bed firmness/inconsistent comfort.
Amenities
9
Positive: many mentions of full kitchen/kitchenette (fridge, dishwasher, stove, real cookware), free laundry, available beverages/snacks and other useful in-room amenities.
Value for Money
8.1
Standard quality for this hotel tier: not explicitly discussed in detail; inferred acceptable value given many recommendations and amenities despite some cleanliness/room quality issues.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Slightly positive/neutral: guests appreciated in-room kitchenette options and available snacks/coffee, though some disappointment noted with lack of a continental breakfast and in-room coffee issues.
Overall Experience
8.7
Generally positive: many guests recommend the hotel, citing quiet nights, helpful staff, convenient location and strong amenities; a minority of serious complaints about cleanliness and room condition temper the score.

Pros:

Great hotel to stay with your pet, the room has everything you could possibly need. Loved that the laundry facilities were included at no cost, perfect for our trip up for a hockey tournament. The manager was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Pros:

The area of the property was very convenient. It’s located in front of West Acres Mall. The room was clean except for the upholstery of the couch which had some stains on it and also the curtains, but the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean and in decent condition. The staff was ok. Overall we had a good stay of night.

Pros:

This hotel was amazing! Convenient access right behind mall. Restaurants and shopping in walking distance. The best part was the suite with a kitchenette, full size fridge, dishwasher and stove. They even provide real silverware, pots, glasses, paper towels etc. Dove bodywash and haircare. Staff was great and the beds were soooo comfortable!

Pros:

Every staff member we we encountered was friendly and helpful. The worker who was washing the floor near the pool area was extra friendly and made some jokes and small talk to our kids and it left an impression on them. Lots of amenities and everything you need for a comfortable stay

Family trip
Pros:

Great hotel but be aware this is a pet friendly hotel. The people next door left their dog to go out and it barked for 90 minutes straight. The hotel management was kind enough to move us to a new room but I feel bad for everyone else as that dog was still barking when moved. Overall we had a great stay in our new room.

Pros:

This hotel was not good, there are much better options in the area. I don’t normally leave negative reviews, but the list of issues is so long, I feel I must. The beds were way too soft, the couch was extremely dirty and stained, underneath the dining table was really nasty and looked like it had never been cleaned, the bathroom door was a sliding barn door that left a large gap offering zero privacy, the air conditioning system was very inefficient leaving us constantly too hot or freezing from the jet like power of it. We’ll stay elsewhere on our next visit to Fargo.
