George

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The second queen bed in my room had a big conspicuous stain on the blanket. The room had an odor that is strong and unpleasant. I got up to go for breakfast across the parking lot to the main building and I saw a man with a gun standing like waiting for someone. Texas is open carry and ND is open so why did he try to hide the gun from my view? He then moved in between some trailers to further hide away from view. That got me uncomfortable. I went back to my room. Good that I was on 2nd floor. I alerted the front desk and gave it a few minutes of safety before I stepped out again Not a pleasant experience overall

Was not as advertised. Room that was booked was unavailable at check in. Room that was available was in desperate need of an update and a deep cleaning.
