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.

AVOID! This place is a train wreck! It smells horrible – a combination of urine and cigarette smoke and general filth! Outside the property was filthy, lots of trash, and a general feeling of unsafe. The interior was worse and needs to be gutted. None of the vending machines were working or stocked, the pool is empty, Mattresses laying onto the pool deck stacked 4 to 5 high, urine stains in the carpet with a general deep smell of urine, smoke, and body odor. Do not stay here! There were several people hanging around the property that seemed to have issues so it felt generally unsafe. If I could give this zero stars I would. This property needs to be completely gutted and redone. It’s absolutely filthy! We arrived very late the first night and did not have alternative options. We left the following day and I am hoping Expedia can refund my second night. This is a zero star property.

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.
