It is an older hotel and it really shows. The staff is great but the plaqce is beat up, dirty and in need of major work. Even the bath towels were not much more than thin rags and the breakfast was some of the worst I have had. More

Even though this particular HJ had a good bar/restaurant attached, the rooms themselves were way over priced. They were clean, comfortable rooms to be sure, but because of where they are situated, it was noisy, loud, with many undesirables roaming the hallways and the area. Not in any way more than a glorified Super 8, this HJ did nonetheless have... More

I have stayed at this hotel in the past and love the large deep swimming pool and pool area. However, it looks like it needs a good deep cleaning. My kids commented on how dirty the tiles in the pool looked (and they did) people scratched initials in the build up or whatever it was. The rooms also need some... More

This is the second time we stayed at HoJos in Fargo. Although It is located in the downtown area and is quite a ways from the more popular shopping areas, it is close to the park-like area bordering the Red River so there are convenient trails for walking. The service provided by the front desk was good and our room... More

All in all, this was a very bad stay. I got in late and was given a room that was very very smoky. I realized that I could not sleep in it and asked for a new room. Attempt #2 was slightly worse. Attempt #3 was better. In the morning, things really went down hill. My toilet flooded the entire... More

Everyone, at one time, has a negative hotel experience. For my husband and I, however, it was excellent. We had to travel to Fargo for my husbands medical procedure at Sanford Mecical Center. We got in late on a Sunday and checked into our room. The young man at the desk went out of his way to map out where... More

Staying at a Howard Johnson can sometimes be pretty scary, but not here. It's an older property that started out as a Towne House (the best hotel in the downtown area 30 years ago), then went to a Quality Inn and now HJ. It shows it's age, but is still nice, a solid three. The room was good sized with... More

Our team stays at the this hotel because it's the "hosting" hotel for the ball team there in Fargo.

Our recent stay was eventful and amusing. As we were traveling in company we had two ground floor rooms. This Hotel is very tired gloomy and most of all has a stale smell in corridors and the rooms. Maintenance is obviously carried out on an ad hoc basis. The ground floor corridor carpet was flooded. It remained flooded for 3... More
