Basic hotel that obviously has not been updated since it was built. A large area of the carpet was damaged by the front entry. We found our sheets were stained yellow. Could not use the pull out sofa as it was partially sticking out and old and uncomfortable. There was also no bedding in the room so we had to ask. The toilet became plugged so we had to get a plunger from the front desk to unclog it ourselves. The outlets are just basic wall outlets. There is no USB plug ins in the wall or lamp outlets. You will need to bring a power bank to plug your charging cords in. In 2026, you’d think hotels would have USB outlets. The property has an unfinished parking lot that is very small. It can be hard to find a parking spot. Breakfast is basic and falls below average when compared to other local hotels.
Pros: The rooms offer a microwave and small fridge which is nice. There is a small sink to wash dishes. They also offer small Dove soap bars which is a nice touch. Overall a decent hotel, but it is outdated and does not match the price.

The property is very run down at the heels. While I felt the room was clean enough the bathroom shower head was broken. We encountered an “incident” where a staff member attempted to gain access to our room while we were sleeping without a prior phone call or knocking. Instead they unlocked our door with a master key and attempted to use a tool to flip the safety latch. While most apologetic about their mistake, the whole incident was unsettling.

The laundry room was clean and the receptionist at the front desk was nice. The smell of bleach hits you right in the face walking through the front doors and crumbling brick exterior. The bed was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was gross, there were obviously patched holes in the door and the shower head was filthy and had three terrible settings. How this place has the ratings it has are a complete mystery to me. I would never stay here again, it was a surprising a place this terrible has the high ratings it does.

Staff in sweatpants and sweatshirts. Pool closed, hot tub broke and treadmill broke . Elevator doesn’t look like it had been cleaned in 6 months, air freshener in the elevator was so strong you had to take the stairs. Room was filthy, urine and hairs all over the base of the toilet, old wash cloth still hanging on the very loose shower bar. Carpet in the room was stained in multiple spots. No Kleenex in the Kleenex box, which was barely holding in on the vanity. Free breakfast, day one was late being put out. The worker 1/2 way through putting it out decided it was time for a smoke break. Food was very limited, tasted badly. Extremely hard to come up with anything good about this stay. Hands down the most run down Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at.

Rude horrible night manager. Worst experience I’ve ever had in my hundreds of stays at hotels. Literally slept in my car after driving all night because he cancelled my room because he said I was a no show. I got there at 4:00 a.m and the latest you can check in is 6:30 a.m. That’s what it said on Expedia and on holiday inn express web site it said 6:00 a.m

I traveled through 2 states to get there on Christmas Eve Morning to get treated with such rudeness and disrespect. He mocked my elderly mom and myself. I’ll never stay at another holiday and and other complaints through other acquaintances. I know that I talked to at the Christmas party im at right now about Holiday Inn devils lake North Dakota night manager.

The room that I had reserved was \"unavailable\" for some unknown reason and the hot tub was out of order. Neither of these notices were addressed online and I was not made aware of these issues until we checked in at the hotel.
I feel that as a guest and as a customer, a little more communication about these issues prior to our arrival wouldve been suffice and a common courtesy.

Our room needed updated badly and smelled a little funky. It was on the main level 100. The carpet was stained, the bathroom had a lot of water damage and some spots of mold in the shower surround. The bathroom door was in bad shape and would not stay open on its own. There was no hand soap in the bathroom. No bag for dirty clothes. No function available on the HVAC system to have a continuous fan operation, which is nice to have to drowned out the noise of door, slamming, and people in the parking lot.

Old and tired

It is in a prime location for traveling. I expected the same standards kept by many Holiday Express' I've stayed in previously. I was disappointed with this one. It needs some repairs. I noticed and stained carpets inbthe hallways. Stained carpet in my room.the walls in my room had paint primer on a seam on the ceiling and the drywall tape was coming off. The bathroom door had visible wear at the bottom and exposing bare wood. The furnishings all had visible signs of extreme wear. The sofa was so old that when anyone sat in it, it felt like you were nearly sitting on the floor. One good thing, the beds were comfy. I dont recommend staying at this hotel. It would be such a great place to stay if it was properly maintained

GROSS!

Disgusting hotel. For a Holiday Inn this was terrible. When we first arrived we were given a room that was not cleaned from the previous guest. While waiting for our new room I overhead two other guests complaining about the price and things not working. When we got in the elevator only one light was working so it was very dark. Our whole floor wreaked of puke for our entire 3 day stay. The new “cleaned” room was so gross. Black mold all over the bathroom, hair, dust, etc covered every surface. It was like you didn’t want it to touch anything because it was so dirty.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

The hotel hot tub jets didn't even work it was like a tub with hot water! The pool chemicals bleached my swimsuit. Only good thing was the breakfast in the morning and the location of the hotel.

There was staining/dripping of dried liquid down the walls in the bathroom and in the main bedroom area, as well as dirty carpet and furniture. We were only there 1 night and haven’t had a chance to review prior to today, but did want to leave some feedback on our stay. Thank you to the staff we did meet! For as much as a room is and how much I know you pay your staff, you should definitely be able to purchase better mattresses and bedding, give more cleanliness training and better pay to your staff. Maintaining the cleanliness and disrepair of a business is tantamount to its success.

When we went down to get another room we found that there were no others and no one who was willing to clean ours.

Conveniently located hotel in Devils Lake close to shopping, gas stations, and restaurants.

The staff were friendly and seemed to care about their responsibilities.

Our hotel room was clean and comfortable, although it seemed the walls in the hotel were a bit \"thin\", as you could hear a fair bit of peripheral noise.

The complimentary breakfast was tasty and met our expectations.

Overall, the Devils Lake Holiday Inn Express was worth staying in, especially at the rate we were able to get.
