We needed a stopping off point on our way to Grand Forks North Dakota. The rooms were a little dated but very clean and comfortable. Would recommend this to anyone needing a quick comfortable place to stay overnite

Stayed here twice (so far) while passing through for Christmas holidays. The rooms are always super clean, smell fresh, and are toasty warm for the winter. Forest Lake Restaurant is a quick walk from the rooms (2 minutes) and has excellent food. We love stopping here.

While the property is on the older side, my room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The clerk was friendly and food at the adjacent restaurant was excellent and not expensive.

Our room was across the street from the lake and the view was pleasant. We had dinner at the restaurant next door, and it was a wonderful dining experience. The room included a full size refrigerator and two beds.

It was a good place to stay, had all the amenities we needed and super friendly staff. The room always felt damp but i think thats from all the rain that had been recieved, it was roomy and clean, better than the pictures.

I have a new favorite motel in GR! The full size fridge is a game changer. The room was great, big, comfy bed, tub and shower, microwave worked beautifully, fridge kept stuff nice and cold. Staff were all friendly. Didn’t need much from housekeeping but they checked in daily. They alerted me when they had to plow. Oh yeah and it was cold out but the room stayed warm. There is a nice restaurant in walking distance if it’s not January and gusting wind. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

This place has the title of motel, so my expectations were low, but to my surprise the room was well put together and wonderfully clean. No question, we will stay here again
