Wait till owners finish updating

Nice front people. The rest of my stay: yuk. No chair in room, dirty bathroom sink, pool dry, no lobby coffee, no coffee maker or hairdryer in room. The place is “under new management and needs lots of work. Bed was okay, didn’t see any bug problems. Coffe shop next door is great and busy on Sunday morning. Lady at Fargo visitor center said “oh no you didn’t!” when I told I stayed at Bison. Cheap price but getting less than paid for.

This hotel was dangerous, awful, filthy, terrible. The rooms were beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The smell of smoke and cigarettes was so strong it hurt our eyes and nostrils. We tried two rooms, and things were just as bad in the second room as the first. The fire alarms and smoke alarms were not even working. This hotel should be removed from your list of options. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. I am expecting a full refund for the room we had to leave in order to be safe for our overnight in Fargo. The only relatively decent experience was the front desk woman who checked us in. She did the best she could to try and help things but even her kindness was no match for the beyond horrific experience we just had.

Dont go here

The room was not cleaned. There was an eye diagram left inside there there. There was bread behind the dresser. There stains on the sheet this roof stunk service desk refuse to make any changes refuse to make a refund. Would not cooperate with us and it's pretty much a trap hotel where you know. You don't feel safe going outside your room. Most of the time, so for those reasons, it's optimal.

I did not feel safe. Rough clientele. No chair in room. TV only got 1 channel. Toilet didn't flush. I left shortly after checking in. A very bad choice.

I don’t even know what kind of circus is even going on here, there was random dogs jumping all over me, a motorcycle riding in the hall way all the way to 11:30 at night, the sheets were COVERED in black and brown stains and some weird glue or sticky substance, the toilet was brown still, shower and sink still had toothpaste and whatever else globs all over them, it was also advertised to have a fridge in the room which was missing, every single thing was out of order, pool, atm, vending machines, all the ‘breakfast’ things except a microwave and a toaster, avoid this place.
