Everything stood out for us especially the staff, Laurie, Sherry and Todd. Please read the below... Great Stay! Great Service at Stay Inn. Laura welcomed us with a smile as we arrived to check In on Friday Feb 13 2026. And accidentally we had two reservations and she was able to cancel one without charging us anything since cancellation deadline passed. Nice! That evening we had plumbing issues and after calling the front desk, Sherry came to help us out in no time and the second night my grand baby spilled her drink on the bed and again after calling the front desk, Todd came within minutes to help us out with new beddings and remake the whole bed. We were so amazed by their fast responses to our concerns. The continental breakfast was awesome, we missed it on first day because we left early for family weekend activities at UND, but the second day that’s where we had our breakfast, loved the waffles, muffins, turnovers, fresh fruits and area was nice and clean like the bedroom. Oh forgot the bedroom that it had a full size refrigerator and a really big screen TV?! We were like Wow! Will definitely be coming back at Stay Inn and the price was just more than reasonable considering that most hotels were booked in the area due to Family Weekend at UND. Thanks again Stay Inn keep it up!

The room was not clean. The bathroom was gross. They had someone come and clean it, but it was still gross. Toilet and shower were not clean at all. We didn't use the shower as we were too grossed out. There was mold under the sink in the cabinet. The sink was plugged and was leaking. Floors had not been swept. Furniture was dusty. It the middle of the night, the cover on the heater fell off. We weren't even offered a discount. They should have comped the room. Will never stay there again. Would not recommend this motel to anyone.

The owner lady moves me to the main building and closer to the office since I travel alone. I appreciate it because I am a woman traveling alone and she makes me feel safer when she does that! I always have a good experience staying at Stay Inn

The room rate makes this a low budget hotel. However I was amazed at how clean and kept up the property was. No lame maintenance issues, room was tidy and well done. No noisy or sketchy hallway noise. My room had a full sized refrigerator.

The place was "clean". Area and guests were very questionable. Didn't sleep at all. Didn't get mugged so that's a positive.

I have stayed at this location many times, it is a decent location. It is a decent property. The rooms are always clean, and the staff is friendly. The reason I didn’t give five stars is because there was no hot water in the morning and was unable to shower.. Apparently, the hot water tanks were replaced or something, but I booked the room last minute and they should not have taken the booking if they knew that there was some problems. I will still return to this property as it is a good location The parking is easy And the price is reasonable
