• The staff was unbelievably helpful and friendly.
• The hot tub was not working properly on one night that I was there.

“I had a great time at the hotel. I loved that it was non-smoking and the staff was exceptional in their service and helpfulness. The continental breakfast was delicious with fresh waffles available to be cooked. The hotel was safe and conveniently located for my needs. I will be returning there on my next visit because I was very satisfied during this recent one.”

“Room clean, staff friendly, well located for shopping, good variety for the breakfast. Strange decor in the hallways, with really heavy room doors. Overall a solid 2 star hotel, as good as anything in Grand Forks, and smoke free.”

• Close to mall and other amenities.
• Decor was awful and the rooms were small the sink for the bathroom was in the living courters and not in the bathroom which was also very simple.

“I wouldn't stay at this hotel again, the price I paid was too much for the hotel and the continental breakfast I had to cook myself. I would rate this hotel at a 1.5 star and not a 2.”

• Nice clean rooms and comfortable beds.
• Pool does not have steps down to the pool just a ladder, not family friendly at all. Couples with young children would not appreciate this at all.

“The stay itself was okay . The room itself was really nice and comfortable. The pool area was very disappointing. No steps just a ladder to get in. Try getting in a out with a toddler or young child. The area itself was very small and only a small hot tub.”

• Nice staff.
• Mold in shower, no hair dryer, and no shampoo.

“This hotel could use some upgrading. There is no excuse for mold in the shower that could be taken care of with bleach and or fresh caulk. It has been a long time since I have stayed in a hotel without a hair dryer and I think it is mandatory for any 2 star or above property.”

• The room was very nice and clean.
• The deadbolt did not latch well and we were across the hall from vending machines.

“It was a very nice hotel with nice rooms. Very tall ceilings and the furniture was new and nice. The deadbolt was very difficult to turn and I myself could not do it. My boyfriend had a difficult time turning it to make it latch. We were placed across the hall from vending machines which were rather noisy. Otherwise this was a very nice place to stay and the breakfast was good.”

“My stay at the Fairfield inn was very enjoyable. It was very clean and the staff was friendly. The beds were the most comfortable motel bed that I¿ve ever slept on and the continental breakfast featured jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches two waffle machines along with other traditional continental breakfast staples. It was the best continental breakfast I have had at a motel. The pool was a bit small but still very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.”

• Not enough sound barrier between rooms, floors. Other guests woke us up at 5 a.m. with TV and movement noises

“I found this hotel very nice except for the noise between rooms and floors. More sound proofing would have been in order. Decor was very lovely. Bed super comfortable. Loved having an air chair and ottoman to sit in to read. Didn't use the breakfast feature but it looked nice.”
