We booked this because we thought we were going to be able to swim. The pool was closed. The room was average, nice firm beds, all the essentials needed. The coffee maker I plugged in, threw sparks at me, due to an outlet that wasn't working properly. I told the staff in the morning, but nobody ever came to fix it. It was a safely concern. The staff was nice, breakfast was good. No snacking options to buy.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Discovered the tv wasn’t working shortly after being in our room. They immediately moved us to a new room right across the hall. Very clean and good sized rooms and bathroom. Breakfast was plenty and very good with hot and cold items to chose. Would definitely stay here again

I was pleasantly surprised with my stay! Great check-in, the room was clean and not needing repair in any way. Roomy bathroom, fluffy towels. The bed was comfortable, a firmer mattress, which I like. Great coffee machine with a lot of choices. Average breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausages one day and then with bacon on Saturday. Well stocked and and kept clean. I will stay here again when I'm in Minot.
