Reviews and Ratings
I just loved this hotel! The rooms, decorated with pieces from local artists and equipped with clock/music player, were so nice and comfortable. The only downside was some street noise at nighttime. The service, provided by a very helpful and friendly staff, was impeccable; they even had free cheese and wine at 5 pm! The location is incredible, right in the center of town with a historic ambiance. However, parking could be a bit of a hassle due to street restrictions. The dining experience was thoughtful and well-made, especially the Greek traditional products. Overall, a great value for money stay with minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were great, with lovely woodwork and exposed brick, but there were some issues like the lack of basic amenities and a broken reading lamp. The service was friendly and offered nice perks like cheese and wine at 5, but the cleanliness of the rooms left something to be desired. The location was ideal for a girls weekend, right in the center of town with easy access to restaurants and shops. The dining experience was satisfactory, with well-made dishes, but it was strictly continental. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with local art, spacious, and had plenty of storage. However, there were no additional beds available. The service was mostly good, with delicious room service food and romantic touches attempted, although they were late a couple of times. The location was perfect, right in the heart of downtown Fargo with easy access to restaurants, bars, and shops. The dining experience was excellent, with morning delivery included in the price. Overall, a delightful experience with some small hiccups along the way.
