Depending on your level of comfort with cleanliness, it is not a bad place to stay for one night given the price. Having said that, the bathroom was obviously not cleaned. Maybe the toilet was cleaned since I didn't see pee drips on the edge or poo in the toilet and the seat didn't have any sticky residue. The shower/ bath on the other hand had hair in the drain and the remnants of the previous soap bar on the edge. The floor also didn't look clean and had hair in various spots. Maybe the cleaner was in a rush and tossed the soap and forgot to clean the rest of the bathroom. The Kleenex box was restocked and there was a new unopened roll of toilet paper in the dispenser. They was a used bath towel hanging in the main room's clothing rack. The walls are thin so don't be surprised if you hear the neighbour's TV blaring. The sound of the air conditioner would easily drown that out.

The TV was huge as well as the refrigerator/ freezer. The breakfast was OK but not outstanding. I always enjoy the waffle maker.

My room was not cleaned. The bedding was washed and made, and that was it. Pet hair everywhere, and human hair also, as well as a floor I could not walk barefoot on. Surprising how well you can hear every sound throughout the hallway with your door closed. I won’t stay here again.

First and foremost, was the issue of the bulk of the guests being long-term residents of the hotel. It seemed as though we were the only overnight guests. They advertise great rates on weekly rentals and it appeared that the hotel was quite full with long-term guests. There was a lot of noise, a lot of dirt, a lot of very bad smells, and dogs roaming in the halls. The area itself did not feel safe, entirely. The room was not very clean, including the floor being sticky. The caveat is that the price was very low, so at least there was that. However people should be told that it isn't really the kind of hotel where most people are overnight guests.

Upon arrival, the floors were dirty, the only chair in the room had a broken and detached back rest, the shower was gross and not clean, the shower drained very slow and flooded at my feet, room constantly smelled like backed up drain and cigarette smoke, and the walls were very thin. Could hear very clearly every word a neighbor says, the TV, and activities. Hot water was broken for 2/6 days I was there. Room service never freshened or cleaned the room throughout my entire week stay.

The fridge was clean and big, the TV was large, clean and new. Front desk staff were nice. Breakfast was good.

Overall, bad and not a good time.

The female staff were nice, especially the older one!! She was super friendly and welcoming.
The breakfast I think was above average for a continental. Would be even better if it was a buffet with eggs!
I’m very sad to report that I would never stay here again. It had a lot of random shady people walking around outside. I did not feel safe nor for my vehicle.
The parking lot needs some work. Guests were extremely loud after hours.
The worst part and this is a dealbreaker for me… was the cleanliness of our room. It was by far one of the worst. Our towels had stains crumbs on them. Our bedsheets had hair and dirt. And body hair all over the bathroom floor. I did take photos. I had them remake the bedding and give new towels. We were also short of pillows. 2 on each queen bed.
Get a new housekeeper yikes!!!!

Construction in progress and should not have rented the room we were in. Very small kitchenette with no tools for use. Single queen bed with not much room to walk around! I would have fired the person who renovated the bathroom, holes drilled in wrong places for spout and shower head then puttied up. Poorly done for sure. Floor was. Dirty and no blow dryer or shampoos/conditioners. Asked the desk for a hair dryer and was told someone threw them out and they couldn’t replace them because of cost. Wow but because of college graduation in town it was impossible to find another place. Breakfast was ALL carbs with a coffee pot that couldn’t keep up! Would not choose this place again!

Walls really thin. I could smell smoke in my room initially but it was sprayed, and it seemed to take care of it. Toilet flushed slow but fine. Got the feeling there were some long term residents and I could smell pot occasionally. However everyone was friendly that I encountered.

Flooring looked new in the room part. Beds really comfy. Nice down comforter. Full size new looking frig a surprise. Bread at breakfast really soft and fresh. Free parking always a plus.

The staff were welcoming an accommodating as we had a very late check in. The room included a large refrigerator/freezer which would be handy if one needs a larger size. The bathroom sink area is limited in size. The pillows were very poor quality so I'd recommend bringing your own, otherwise ask for more. The breakfast items were limited in healthy choices, but if you're not picky, you would be able to find something. We just needed a place to sleep and an early check out so the StayInn worked fine for that. Price was affordable.

I realize it was a cheap hotel but it was more like a creepy motel in slasher movie. If I would've known it was like that, it would've Never been a thought. And the roof in the hallway was leaking, had buckets everywhere . Nothing like picture I was scared to stay there. Sorry, just being honest.

The room itself, besides the bathroom, were actually amazing. It said we had two queens, but they felt huge. They were quite comfortable. We had a full-size fridge and a massive TV. The light fixtures added ambiance to the room because they could dim.

The bathroom, however, did not fit into the rest of the aesthetic of this room. The sink to brush your teeth was on the outside of the bathroom and the bathroom was in need of serious repair. The fan was quite loud and I didn’t really even want to shower in the shower. Maybe it looks like they’ve renovated all areas of their hotel except bathrooms.

The breakfast area was all right as well. Breakfast options were minimal… Cereal, muffins, waffles, some bread for toast, but I didn’t see any peanut butter or jam options. Not too much fruit or yoghurt options.

Staff were friendly upon check-in

All in all I would say for the price this place is 100% worth it

Checked in after 3. The person at the front desk was friendly and welcoming.
I was originally placed in a room that I could not get open nor could the person at the desk. Moved to another room, which was uneventful.
It appeared renovations were almost complete. There was paint on the tile floor at bathroom.
It was easy to hear the neighbors.
Went to a vending machine at about 1:00 and it smelled like fresh smoke not of cigarettes.
Ice in the parking lot was thick and challenging to navigate in multiple areas.
Free breakfast had a number of choices.It was a pleasant stay and the price point was reduced after using One Key.
Thank you.

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel! The pictures dont match the room we stayed in so I'm not sure what rooms they are showing there. But it's laminate floors, freshly painted walls, clean comfortable beds, full size fridge, large TV with Roku. The bathroom is dated but clean, hot water, and good pressure. The staff were so helpful and very nice. There was a dog off leash one morning and the little dog did try to run up and tried to bite but the owner was quick to get their dog. Parking was a little limited due to all the snow. Overall we would definitely stay again!

Everything stood out for us especially the staff, Laurie, Sherry and Todd. Please read the below...
Great Stay! Great Service at Stay Inn.
Laura welcomed us with a smile as we arrived to check In on Friday Feb 13 2026. And accidentally we had two reservations and she was able to cancel one without charging us anything since cancellation deadline passed. Nice!
That evening we had plumbing issues and after calling the front desk, Sherry came to help us out in no time and the second night my grand baby spilled her drink on the bed and again after calling the front desk, Todd came within minutes to help us out with new beddings and remake the whole bed. We were so amazed by their fast responses to our concerns. The continental breakfast was awesome, we missed it on first day because we left early for family weekend activities at UND, but the second day that’s where we had our breakfast, loved the waffles, muffins, turnovers, fresh fruits and area was nice and clean like the bedroom. Oh forgot the bedroom that it had a full size refrigerator and a really big screen TV?! We were like Wow!
Will definitely be coming back at Stay Inn and the price was just more than reasonable considering that most hotels were booked in the area due to Family Weekend at UND. Thanks again Stay Inn keep it up!

The room was not clean. The bathroom was gross. They had someone come and clean it, but it was still gross. Toilet and shower were not clean at all. We didn't use the shower as we were too grossed out. There was mold under the sink in the cabinet. The sink was plugged and was leaking. Floors had not been swept. Furniture was dusty. It the middle of the night, the cover on the heater fell off. We weren't even offered a discount. They should have comped the room. Will never stay there again. Would not recommend this motel to anyone.

I have stayed at this location many times, it is a decent location. It is a decent property.
The rooms are always clean, and the staff is friendly.
The reason I didn’t give five stars is because there was no hot water in the morning and was unable to shower..
Apparently, the hot water tanks were replaced or something, but I booked the room last minute and they should not have taken the booking if they knew that there was some problems.
I will still return to this property as it is a good location
The parking is easy

This was a straight-out prostitute hotel. I was in the room for about five minutes before I told my daughter not to touch anything or sit on anything. People were living there and had the doors open. I’ve never seen a hotel room hoarded like these three open doors. We decided not to stay there. Waited for our Uber outside and saw a drug deal happen in the parking lot and then some guy tried to pick my daughter and I up as we waited for the Uber. It was nothing short of an experience. I suggest that if you have small children, stay clear, or they’re going to have some serious questions for you. Oh, and don’t forget the prostitutes, did I mention the prostitutes? I was there for a wedding, and when I told the wedding party where I booked and didn’t stay, they laughed at me and said why did you book a prostitute hotel? I had to ask them why they didn’t tell me not to book there. The pictures on the website are not the same as when you get there, down to the bedspreads on the beds.
