Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Minot, ND

I’ve seen several negative reviews on this hotel and since my experience was different thought I would write about it. On a trip to drop my son at the Air Force base in Minot. Spent several days in town and I stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. Appears to be an older hotel with the things you would expect from an older hotel. It wasn’t perfect. But…when I walked in, the lobby felt welcoming…like one of the older Country Inns…chairs to sit…books to read or borrow. Very nice. Comfortable. Everything I interacted with was clean! My room was clean. Bathroom was clean. Room was Small, but comfortable. Bed was comfortable and according to my RingConn got one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in awhile. Breakfast was great for a 2 star hotel. There were hot selections that changed on my second day. Both days were good. They had cold breakfast selections that I hadn’t seen in other hotels…pop tarts…I’ve never seen those at a hotel breakfast. I shouldn’t be eating them, but seeing them made me smile. And there were plenty of healthier options. Staff: the gentleman who works in the evening was helpful and answered my questions. He wasn’t overly engaging. The folks who work there in the morning were delightful…went out of their way to be helpful. In the mornings, between the good breakfast and the morning staff it felt almost like home. Only down side was that the carpet in my room was badly stained. First thing I saw was the stain when I walked in. After seeing that, I was prepared for a negative experience…but it was anything but negative overall. Good price as well. To top it all off, when i asked the staff about how to get to the airport, they offered to drive me. I found out the driver was the general manager. She certainly didn’t “need” to do that. Overall very good experience. I will likely stay here again when we visit my son.

Clean hotel, quiet room. More breakfast variety than average. Staff was friendly. Hot tub needs updated. Location is close to mall and restaurants. I would stay again. It doesn’t have a snack machine, but they said they were working on getting one.

Nice quiet hotel conveniently located on hwy 2. I stayed for 1 night on a business trip. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. I didn't try the breakfast since I packed my own food for this trip.i would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for value and a decent nights sleep.

They dont clean your room after 3 days, they dont tell you and when you request for cleaning, they tell you they were short staffed. I asked the front desk and the maid specifically to clean my room with no service. Although a diamond there were no apologies just oh well. I would NEVER stay at this hotel again. My room has full garbages, dirty towels and no coffee. I am not sure what I am paying for here. This is by far the worst hotel I have stayed at.

Hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to Khol's, Hobby Lobby, Longhorn Steakhouse, JL Beers, Starbucks and a short drive to the mall. Hotel itself is comfortable. The older lady checking us in and pleasant, and helpful. Beds were comfortable, nice big shower with good water pressure. It is showing a bit of wear, but nothing major. Continental breakfast was different both days, lots of options for pre-package foods, plus hot food, bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits/gravy, waffles, pancakes, coffee, juice, fresh fruit. Pool area seemed popular, pool with hot tub, no water slide. I would stay here again.

No issues with my stay, clean and comfortable. Some things are a bit dated, but still a great stay. My room was very clean, and that is the most important thing for me when staying at a hotel. I travel for business and thought I needed to try a new place because my other lace in town was losing its luster. I will stay here again when I am back

Parking lot was safe and clean. Checked into the room easily and quickly. The woman at the desk was friendly. Room was spacious. Building and rooms were a bit outdated but clean and comfortable. Hotel was quiet and air conditioning worked well. Pool was warm, a good size and very clean. Both pool and hot tub had walk in stair entry and chair lift entry for people with disabilities. There is a shower available at the pool and it is a salt water pool. Hot tub had a few chipped parts at the bottom, and my son cut his foot on it, but he just needed a bandaid. Breakfast was fantastic. We have 3 boys that like to eat. There were so many choices. Dry cereal, cookie bars, pastries, waffles, eggs (2 ways), bacon, bread, bagels, yogurt, oatmeal....the list goes on and on. Great stay, would recommend.

We were looking for a suite with a separate room (with door) since we were traveling with small children. We found that here, and it was a great set up. Pros: quiet, peaceful, clean overall (lobby, beds, towels, room overall), clean pool, kind staff, good breakfast with options (waffles, bacon/eggs/pancakes, toast/muffins, oatmeal, cereal) Cons: bathroom floor was quite dirty (especially around base of toilet), air set on 58* when we arrived, fire alarm going off at 4:55a.m. (cook-related?) Overall, it was a good stay. Cleanliness matters the most to me, so I might explore other options before choosing this one again. It was better than the first hotel I tried in Minot, and the price was good.

I have to be honest. I’m a frequent traveler and am a platinum at another chain. Because of the minot fair week I had no choice but to stay here. I was warned that it was sketchy but took a chance. The whole hotel STUNK violently like dirty feet…top to bottom. Have to believe my jock strap smelled better. I even opened the window to try to help the smell… but to no avail. Avoid if possible. I’m not even sure how the authorities allow the place to stay open with the amount of mold that must exist. This hotel would not be in business but for the lack of competition. I remember my gym bag and wow…just wow.
