Amazing Hotel
Great location in Downtown Fargo, really friendly staff and the room was great value. Very clean, spacious and modern with all the amenities i needed. Wine hour in the evening and free pastries for breakfast are a nice touch.

Good place great location
It’s a good place, nice location downtown and fairly priced. Make sure you understand how street parking works when you go here or spend money for the valet service.

Perfect place to enjoy downtown Fargo!
The staff were second to none - everyone from the front desk, custodial staff and housekeeping. Extremely helpful and kind. Hotel is in a perfect location! Only downside is parking (which is no fault to their own) - but nothing you wouldn't expect in a downtown location. DON'T let that hinder your decision to stay here. The staff was extremely helpful in going over our parking options. Definitely will be a returning customer!

Great boutique hotel in downtown Fargo. Comfy beds, friendly folks, wine & cheese hour, and great coffee with yummy pastries that don’t taste like rocks (anyone who travels will know what I’m talking about).

Turned 50 in Fargo!
Very enjoyable stay. A very unique hotel in a good way. The size of the room we were in was amazing. The art was really cool. Both my wife and I woke up without having a sore back which led me to inquire about where they get their beds. Initially I was wondering about the noise level being downtown and all, but their ventilation system serves as perfect white noise. I didn't hear any traffic. Will definitely stay here again!

They honored my Expedia payment even though I canceled the original reservation because my car broke down. Additionally, they gave me a Lovely room!
Great coffee and bakery breakfast pastries in the morning too!
