Quiet and comfortable rooms but When we checked in at 4 PM our requested room was not available yet so they asked us to wait for 15 minutes so they could clean the room. When we got to the room it was very obvious it was a quick clean-dirt on lower shelves of nightstands, slippery film of some kind of cleaner on bathroom floor, and no shampoo or soap in the shower.

Front desk staff were amazing and friendly. Rooms were very dirty. Items left in the fridge from prior guest. Used wet washcloth still in the shower hidden areas haven’t been dusted for months visible areas. Also had a layer of dust bedding was dirty and after getting put into another room at first glance, it appeared Cleaner but housekeeping is definitely slacking. Never have stayed in a hotel so dirty. Very strong stench in room. I would give five stars to the front desk staff/manager who offered a discount, but housekeeping definitely needs a lot of improvement.

Very dirty rooms, end tables where not cleaned at all, mystery white stains all over the bathroom walls, found a short black hair in the sink. Carpets are sticky in most spots. The door to the hallway was off the hinge so you legit have to pick the door up just for it to close and there very heavy doors. Found someone elses dirty black shirt under the bench. There zero attention to details when it comes to cleaning. For them to be charging almost 200$ a night Canadian for that is absolutely outrageous. Made management aware and still have had no reach out. Clearly proves my point on this dirty hotel.

Check in was great, the young man working the front desk was very polite and gave us our first room. We checked into the room and we could hear people talking and we thought it was the TV from the room beside us. But unfortunately, there was a couple arguing in the room next to us. I had left my credit card down at the front desk so went back to get it and requested that we move rooms because it was uncomfortable being next to the arguers. The same young man at the front desk was glad to give us a new room. We went to our next room and the door would not open, it wasn't a key problem, the deadbolt was on. So there was obviously people inside that room. We returned back to the front desk and requested a third room. That room was quiet and we were able to access the room. However, the carpet in the room felt as though it was damp and sticky. The sheets and bedding also felt very damp. I'm not sure if it's because the AC was running too high or what was wrong. I turned the AC off and by morning the sheets felt fine, but the floor seem to still have a sticky feeling to it. Our bathroom had no towels in it. The only towels that we had were two face cloths. I didn't bother to request more as when we realize there was no towels. It was almost midnight. I guess there is a reason why this hotel was on the middle of the price spectrum for hotels in Minot. As you read through reviews and comments on many hotels in Minot, it seems as though they all have similar issues.

Overall it was a decent stay. I didn’t do the breakfast on either stay but my parents liked how big the handicap accessible room was and the amenities that came in their room. There was hair in the tub and beds were really hard. I liked the pillows and all the space in the room.

To start when attempting to check in, facility struggles to process Canadian cards. Example Mastercard and debit card, with numerous attempts and no solution other than telling you to go get cash. Then it processes after the umpteen try. Room was dusty, beds were hard and carpet in room had a stickiness to it. The hot tub lacked the proper amount of water. The jets are aggressive with the splash. Breakfast was limited, example numerous items empty even though continental breakfast had only been start a little over an hour prior to attending and there was over an hr left.
