Fargo's BEST Kept Secret: Fargo Inn & Suites (ND) - Unbelievable Deals!
Alright, alright, let's talk Fargo Inn & Suites (ND) – Fargo's BEST Kept Secret, they say. Unbelievable Deals! they shout. And, uh, let's be real, sometimes "unbelievable" can signal a little bit of… questionable quality, right? So, I dove in headfirst, ready to uncover the truth. And, listen, this ain't your shiny, picture-perfect travel blog. This is the real deal, my friends. Buckle up; it's gonna be a ride.
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Lurch-y Start & the Good News
Okay, so, I'm going to be brutally honest, the exterior… could use a touch of… oomph. Think "solid, functional, maybe-a-bit-dated." But hey, we're here for the inside, yeah? And immediately, I'm looking around for accessibility. Accessibility is KEY for me, and I was pleased. There's an elevator, a definite win, and the front desk claims they have facilities for disabled guests, which is an excellent start. More investigation needed, but the initial impression is positive! This is something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues.
Internet: Bless the Wi-Fi Gods!
Alright, let's get to the important stuff – the internet. Because, let’s face it, in this day and age, the internet is practically oxygen. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! And I can tell you, it's actually pretty decent! I managed to stream Netflix without constant buffering, which is a minor miracle in some hotels. There is also Internet access – wireless, Internet access – LAN. I haven't been in the hotel long enough, but if the Wi-Fi is spotty, you always have a back-up option. Very impressed, considering a lot of hotels skimp on this, and the Internet services seem to be up to scratch.
Rooms: The Comfort Zone (Mostly!)
My room? Perfectly acceptable. Clean, with a comfy bed, and the air conditioning – which is crucial in a place like Fargo - actually worked. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in, and I adored the complimentary tea/coffee maker. Not the fancy espresso machine, but hey, it got the job done! And there were a few things that made me smile.
It had a desk, which is fantastic because I always end up working on my laptop, and there’s a laptop workspace. I'd say it's ideal for a solo traveler like me, but not a bunch of people.
Bathroom: The Good, the Bad, and the Towel Situation
The private bathroom was clean and functional, with plenty of towels. Always a good start. The showers were decent, with decent pressure, and there's even a hair dryer. Now here comes my one small quibble: the towels! I'm not talking about the size (that was fine), I am talking, they seemed a bit… aged. I think they’ve done many, many laundry cycles. I'm hoping this is an outlier and not the norm.
Things to Do (and Ways to Relax) - It's a Mixed Salad, Folks!
Okay, this is where Fargo Inn & Suites got interesting, and I mean that in a charming way. They do offer some of the basics for relaxation. I haven't had the opportunity to dive into the spa for a body scrub, or body wrap, which is a shame. I'm tempted by a massage, but I'm not sure about the quality, but they seemed ready to move on to the next subject.
Now for the bad news - there's no pool with a view, a sauna, a steamroom, or a gym/fitness if you are into those things. I can confirm there's a swimming pool; it's an outdoor pool. Sadly, I didn't have a chance to get in the swimming pool which seemed to be kept up to the highest standards.
Dining: A Culinary Adventure… or Maybe Not?
The dining situation isn't exactly Michelin-star material. There's a restaurant, and they offer a breakfast [buffet]. I'm not a huge buffet fan, but it wasn't terrible. You can order a la carte in the restaurant. There's coffee/tea in the restaurant, and even a snack bar, a crucial service for me.
There's a bar with a poolside bar, if you are into that. I find bars a bit… dull. Honestly, everything here is quite average, but not awful.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Very Important Checklist
Okay, this is one of the most crucial bits. And I was relieved. The anti-viral cleaning products usage and the daily disinfection in common areas. There's hand sanitizer around, and the staff looked well-trained, which is a huge relief. There's CCTV in common areas, which is good, and security [24-hour]. I also noticed smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. The room sanitization opt-out available, which is definitely in line with modern safety standards. I liked it.
Services and Conveniences: Your Every Need, Covered (Almost)
The 24-hour front desk is always a plus. There's a concierge which is useful if you need some help. There's also a convenience store. The daily housekeeping was excellent. The laundry service and dry cleaning are available, too.
For the Kids: Family Friendly? Yes!
The good news: Family/child friendly, maybe something to consider. There's babysitting service, which is excellent.
Getting Around: Wheels Are Your Friends
Free car park [on-site], a win! And there is a taxi service, but I can't guarantee the speed.
The Verdict & My Unsolicited Advice!
So, is Fargo Inn & Suites a hidden gem? Let's just say it's a solid, reliable choice. It's not the fanciest place, but it's clean, comfortable, and the free Wi-Fi is a huge win. And it’s perfect if you want a place to sleep and relax.
My Final Plea: Book It (But with Eyes Wide Open)
Look, Fargo Inn & Suites isn't going to win any awards for luxury. But they’re a place that works. You get what you pay for, and sometimes, that’s all you need. So, if you're looking for a comfortable, convenient, and affordable stay in Fargo, give Fargo Inn & Suites a shot.

Fargo Follies: A Deep Dive into the Heart of North Dakota (and Possibly My Sanity)
Day 1: Arrival and the Existential Dread of Beige
- 1:00 PM: Arrival at Hector International Airport (FAR). Okay, first impressions? Beige. So much beige. The carpet, the walls, the vaguely menacing security guard. This is a sign, people. A sign of things to come. I grab my rental car, a suspiciously shiny sedan (did I get the "clean freak" package?), and navigate the labyrinth of Fargo street signs (they're all, surprisingly, in English!).
- 2:00 PM: Check-in at Fargo Inn & Suites. My expectations are low, and yet, they're immediately met. The front desk clerk, bless her heart, looks like she's seen things. Wars? The end of humanity? Probably just a busy Tuesday. Check-in is quick, the key card works (a small victory!), and I'm in my room. And… Yep. Beige. With a slight hint of institutional sadness. I swear, if I see one more floral patterned bedspread, I’m going to scream.
- 2:30 PM: The Room Audit. Okay, first things first: Bathroom assessment. Do the towels smell vaguely of disinfectant and despair? Check. Water pressure? Adequate, but not inspiring. Am I going to have to use the tiny, hotel-branded shampoo? Ugh. This is a test of my soul, people. A test!
- 3:00 PM: The Great Fridge Debacle. Discover the miniature fridge. A glimmer of hope! I bought some craft sodas, and some chocolate for the drive from the airport.
- 4:00 PM: The Quest for Coffee. I need caffeine, desperately. The "complimentary" coffee in the lobby looks like it died a slow, agonizing death. I opt for the nearby coffee shop, and I will share about it later, because I will go back. I need it.
- 5:00 PM: Fargo – The City Itself. I have a feeling that I need to familiarize myself with the area, and I will surely do it later. For the moment, I'm making myself comfortable, and I will be glad for it.
- **7:00 PM: Dinner at *** (TBD).** I have to find food. I may or may not review it, depending on my mood, and whether I survive eating it. I promise to keep you updated.
- 9:00 PM: Collapse. I just… need to sleep. The road calls, and I'm listening.
Day 2: A Whirlwind of Discovery (or, Mostly Just Finding Things)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast? The hotel breakfast is, as expected, the opposite of inspiring. I nibble at a lukewarm waffle and wonder if I can survive on coffee and sheer willpower.
- 9:00 AM: Downtown Fargo: A Quick Glimpse. I decide to explore the 'downtown' area, because I'm on a mission! I find a charming little bookstore and lose myself for an hour, surrounded by the scent of old books and the promise of adventure. Oh, and the architecture in Fargo… it is a sight to behold. Buildings are unique, and I really wasn't expecting that!
- 11:00 AM: The Plains Art Museum. (Or, "Is That Art?" Edition). Okay, so I'm an art snob, in the sense that I don't always get art. But hey, I'm here! Some of it blows me away, some of it has me scratching my head, and some of it… well, let's just say it sparks a debate in my head about the meaning of existence.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a Local Diner (Again to be determined). Let's hope they have good coffee… and comfort food. I'll keep you posted.
- 2:00 PM: The Fargo Theatre (A Jewel!). I can't miss the Fargo Theatre. It brings so much to the city, and I'm so glad to see it.
- 4:00 PM: The Quest for a Good Bookstore Continues! I am on a mission to find a bookstore! And the next bookstore will be next on the list from here.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner and Reflecting. I want to find a restaurant that will give me time to reflect on everything. I think I have the perfect idea.
- 8:00 PM: Relaxing. Back to the room, to relax. Maybe order a pizza, and watch a movie. That will be perfect.
Day 3: Fargo – The Aftermath and Departure.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast Blues (Again). I'm starting to think I'm allergic to hotel breakfast.
- 9:00 AM: Last-Minute Souvenir Hunt. Gotta get those cheesy t-shirts and tacky mugs! Gotta. Get. Them. I'm pretty sure my friends will love them.
- 10:00 AM: One Last Look. I'll leave time to wander around the area that I have been meaning to explore. I don't want to be stuck with a sense of regret.
- 12:00 PM: Farewell Feast (If I Can Find One). One last attempt at a decent meal before I go. Wish me luck!
- 2:00 PM: Departure. Back to the airport, back to reality (maybe). The beige walls of Fargo Inn & Suites fade in my rearview mirror. I'm leaving with a mixed bag of impressions: a city, a reminder that the best adventures are the ones where you don't know what to expect, and a newfound appreciation for the power of good coffee. And maybe, just maybe, I'll be back someday. But probably not to the Fargo Inn & Suites. Just sayin'.
- Emotional Aftermath: I'm exhausted,. I'm contemplative. I learned a little about North Dakota. It's not all beige, but it's still a work in progress.
And that, my friends, is my Fargo adventure. It's a mess. It's imperfect. It's honest. And hey, that's life, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find a really, really strong cup of coffee.
