Sorry, this was the first family visit to the Holiday Inn in Grand Forks and it is the LAST. The room was poorly kept, mattresses were rock hard and the bathroom had rust and mold covering the ceiling tiles. Funny thing was they painted over the...

29 year old female with a moderate budget, traveling for leisure
We used hotwire to book this hotel and I was not thrilled with it. We got a non-smoking room with 2 queen beds, very comfy. But when we walked in the room it was so stuffy in there so I rushed to open a window and to my dismay I found that we were stuck in a room that overlooked the hallway to the pool, so therefore there was no window for fresh air. The fan did rotate but it didn't do much more. I'm one of those people that requires fresh air. Had I known that would happen I would have asked for a window to the outside world, but how was I to know? There was also a light from the window that shone in our window the whole night, the room darkening curtains didn't close and it was just a set of sheers to try and stop this light. But the room was clean, the shower was nice, and the TV worked. Oh yeah, one more thing, the smell of cigarette smoke was whafting in from somewhere...probably the fan.
I am not likely
to return to the Clarion Inn.
I would not recommend it to friends.

Excellent

the pool and splash park were great for the kids. the hot tub was also really nice. the lounge area around the pool was a bonus too, as we had a large group staying together. the restaurant food and service were both completely unremarkable but...
