Minot Hotels with Bars

I don't like writing bad reviews but in this case I believe it is necessary. The entire hotel had a really, really bad tobacco smoke odor. Almost unbearable. When I walked in I thought...Smoke... maybe it's just in the lobby, but my room and the hallway on 3rd floor was just as bad. I stayed one night when I should have walked out. When I finally got home my suitcases were reeking of smoke but a few days sitting out in the Texas sun and wind killed the odor. The suit case contents and I got washed. It is a shame, too, because otherwise the place was good, good parking, coffee, food, gasoline, airport nearby, good lighting, quiet, clean, prairie dog watching, and nice personnel. So... if you don't mind intense smoke smell it would be an ok place to stay.

The price seemed very attractive, especially considering this is a suite. Upon arrival the checkout process is very long and drawn out with a list of increasingly invasive questions. The staff was very friendly about the process and apologized as they were under orders to ask the long list of questions. With taxes and ”fees” the seemingly very good deal became less of a good deal overall, still far less than booking through the hotel directly by about fifty percent. Booking ahead on Priceline did nothing to reduce the time this process took. The rooms themselves are a good size, proper little kitchen area, microwave, cooktop, good sized counter top. Bar stool seating, and a nice living room area and desk area in addition to of course a bed. There's also a lot of storage area for those staying longer periods of time. Sadly, nothing is included with the room beyond soap and towels. You don't get a coffee maker, cup, plates, cutlery, an alarm clock, etc. The condition of the room itself was VERY worn. Couches and chairs looking worn down and threadbare, tables and furniture with water marks, surface wear, as well as other age related damage. The bed was also too soft, indicating that the mattress may also be very old. The breakfast was almost non-existant. There were some granola bars, some instant oatmeal, coffee, and I don't recall what else, maybe some cereal. It was by far the worst continental breakfast I've seen in my decades of traveling in hotels around the continent. If looking for a hotel in the area and you really want seating in room, a good sized fridge and microwave and are alright with not getting an included breakfast, you might still want to consider this hotel if the price is right, just set your expectations VERY low.
