positive:
Clean and comfortable.
The Holiday Inn Fargo received top marks for comfort and cleanliness. Attentive housekeeping staff really stayed on top of things, and dirt and dust were nowhere to be found at this hotel. Guests also loved the pillow-top mattresses with a choice of hard and soft pillows.
positive:
Great staff.
The hard work and great attitude of hotel staff didn't go unnoticed at this hotel. Guests were especially pleased when working with staff for events like birthday parties and corporate meetings.
positive:
Family-friendly.
The Holiday Inn Fargo really lived up to its reputation as a great place to take the kids. Parents and kids alike were enamored with the Shipwreck Bay Waterpark, which provided hours of family-friendly fun. Older kids and teenagers were also well-looked after with entertainment like table tennis and video games.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Bring comfortable shoes.
Many guests weren't prepared for the sprawling Holiday Inn Fargo, and endless corridors sometimes made it difficult to locate rooms or amenities. Some visitors even had to get escorted to their rooms after they encountered poor signage. Guests recommended looking for hidden shortcuts.
negative:
Has seen better days.
It was clear to several guests that this hotel has received a lot of wear and tear, and while nice in its heyday, it is in need of a few upgrades. Peeling door handles, stained carpet, and older furniture didn't make the best impression on many, and guests felt it was time for a refresh. Rumor has it that this hotel may be undergoing a renovation in 2016, so look for all new decor.
negative:
Busy parking lot.
With plenty of guests coming and going at this hotel, parking can sometimes be a pain. Despite being extra large, the parking lot presented a challenge for guests competing for parking with casino-goers and restaurant customers.
