• Location and the Continental Breakfast.
• Room smelled like smoke.

“The biggest thing was that the room smelled like smoke and on the door it stated that it was a non smoking hotel. Also the pool was under construction and at 7:00
AM the fire alarm went off with no sign of fire, no need for a wake up call when that happens.”

• No staff, no amenities, nothing!

“This hotel was going through some renovations or in their slow season. The signs were covered with tarps, only 5 people worked at the hotel the whole 7 days we were there. The continental breakfast was horrible. The staff only cleaned the room once during the week we were there. Only 5 other rooms were used while we were there. Very bare hotel and no amenities whatsoever. There are a few pools but they are owned by other hotels that are in the same complex as this hotel.”

• The upgrades have been very nice.
• HVAC is noisy and hard to have on during the night.

“We like it because it is close to the mall and to relatives in Minot. There is easy access to the rest of Minot from the motel. We have enjoyed the upgrades in the past couple of years and we find it to be much cleaner than previously.”

“Nice small hotel in Dakota square mall parking lot. Where we wanted to be. Stayed there a few times before and will return. Staffs are great. Breakfast better this time with microwavable egg/ham sandwich and other items. Late check out was allowed till 1:30pm. Free passes to nearby YMCA.”

• The continental breakfast probably the one thing I liked about this hotel, I didn't have to leave the hotel so early to get a breakfast.
• I didn't like the fact of waking to the fire alarm and the housekeeping staff being as loud as they were! They really could be much quieter!

“Overall this hotel is as nice as any other hotel, staff seems to be friendly. You can't beat the continental breakfast.”

“The Fairfield Inn was a great little spot as it was close to the Dakota Inn Shopping Mall, had easy access to the main highway, served a great continental breakfast and was real close to good restaurants. The pool and hot tub area was spotless and had towels available right in the pool area so that you didn't have to use the towels from your room.”

“Very pleased with the accommodations Only one problem. I asked for a top floor room. Didn't get it. People above me started stomping around at 6:30 A.M.. Should have been more aggressive about requesting the floor I wanted. Everything else about the property was first rate.”

“The hotel was just OK. The check in took over 30 minutes and three tries of different rooms. Major inconvenience. Housekeeping forgot something important like shampoo, soap, and coffee everyday too. All I can say is that the front desk staff was very friendly.”

• The breakfast was great. waffles etc, and the moderate price of the hotel room. Thank you!
• The room was not ready at check-in time ; bathroom faucet/sink had toothpaste in it/on it and there was hair in the tub

“We have stayed in Fairfield Inns and have had good reviews. The explanation for our room not being ready was they had a full house the night before and were behind. That was OK. The staff obviously had to rush since the bathroom wasn't as clean as usual. We cleaned it ourselves and that didn't hurt us. We like the new policy of no bedspreads, but rather blanket/sheets that can be washed. :)”

“This hotel has many positives, including a light breakfast in the morning. It does not have a free airport shuttle, which will be the only thing to discourage my staying there in the future.
