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!

It was ok.
VERY soft bed. Dirty, stained pillows underneath the pillowcases. Loud noises above us late at night and early in the morning. Wasn’t quite what I was expecting for the price we paid.

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.

Highly recommend!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is directly above Blarney's Stone Irish Pub - which was very convenient and good. This is a very well run, well taken care of boutique hotel - but it is small with minimal staff. So - you need to be patient, as they do an amazing job at being helpful and attentive. The location is on the corner of a business area - so it was a little loud outside, until after midnight. I kept the room fan on, and that helped a lot. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on - and I even asked what kind it is. They were happy to give me the name and manufacturer (local company) - stating they get that question a lot!
