Econo Lodge West North Dakota

The hallways were clean. The room was clean. I have no complaints about this Hotel at all. The breakfast food was as much as you get any place else. They did not have any eggs, but they had almost everything else. I was here for work. I would definitely stay here again if needed. It is close to my commute for work and a cheap place to stay when needed.

The hotel exceeded my expectations for value and cleanliness. The fee for having my dog in my room was a reasonable $25. I did keep her in her dog crate by my choice. Breakfast was fine - waffle, apple juice, coffee. Front desk was staffed with professional folks. Parking lot was fine. A little bit of noise next door to room, but no worries.

I stayed three nights at Econo Lodge. I was charged a $150 security deposit and $230 for the stay. A day after my stay I saw the security deposit and a double charging of my stay totaling $610 posted to my account. I called the hotel about this, they claimed the amount would be refunded in 1-2 business days, and it was a problem with their system that caused this. Two business days pass, I have no refund, no confirmation that this money will be given back to me. I call once again, the person claims the refund is on its way but will take 5-7 business days for me to receive. (I believe I spoke to the same person both times). As of right now, I have not received anything on their behalf, and am pursing further legal action.

Appreciate that there was a recent upgrade throughout, with rooms having new furnishing and carpets. Staff was helpful but inadequate. Bedding and pillows though were old and some stained ,desperately need replacing. Breakfast area very small and little to offer.

Due to emergency vehicular repairs and concurrent athletic conventions in Fargo on August 17, 2023, I was forced to take a room at this place, supposedly one of the only places in Fargo with a room that night... I would otherwise have never considered doing that had it not been an emergency. (Take a look at the trash at the end of the parking lot and other tell-tale signs of it being a "shady" place.)...Taking full advantage of my misfortune, this "Shadylodge" charged me over $400 for a room. That, of course, was very disgusting, but the worst thing that may have happened (which I cannot prove) was my credit card was hacked by someone in Fargo within a 24-hour period on the 17th and- mainly due to the exorbitant charge for a night's stay-, I cannot rule out this "Shadylodge" as a possible suspect...
