Don't Do It

Although the staff was pleasant, the building is old and run down. The room smelled very stale, sheets were questionable and full of burn holes from cigarettes. The bathroom was in better shape but not clean around the taps. However, we did get to enjoy some of the local wildlife in our room, including silverfish in the beds, a very large black widow that had made her home in the entrance, and an ominous looking horned beetle watched over from above. Probably should have just slept in the vehicle. They did appear to be doing some renovations, so hopefully things will improve in the future

Unsafe, Overcharging, Worn Motel

The motel is old, dingy, dirty. Ripped comforter and stained and ripped chairs. There appears to be long term residents with many bikes and other things left outside. There are signs everywhere about being recorded. The window had no locks and only a piece of wood shoved in the windowsill to keep it closed. The room smelt musty. The mattresses are so soft you sink in far if you try to sit on them. I felt quite unsafe there. They also over charged me by adding taxes and fees again to the all inclusive Hotels.com price. In the additional fees tab it also says that pets are $10/night but they wanted to charge an extra $20/night. I requested a refund of the additional amount they charged and they put it through but reversed the refund after I left. Scammy, unsafe, overcharging place. They also make you sign the form saying you’re signing for the “no smoking agreement” before they fill in the amounts so they can put any amount. Make sure to confirm your amounts before paying. I will never stay here again.

The man who checked me in was very personable and friendly. He made me aware of nearby eating establishments, and even helped me up the stairs with my luggage when I tried to take too much at once. Great PR value there. The room was clean and comfortable, so no complaints there. The only issue I had - and it's really a minor one - is that the packets of shampoo provided need to be cut open. Once you're in the shower, though, that's hard to do unless you've taken a pair of scissors with you. I had to tear it open with my teeth, which was difficult. I would recommend to the hotel a bottled shampoo as an alternative. But all and all, I would highly recommend the Imperial Motel in Grand Forks. This was my second stay in five years, and both experiences were excellent. If you're looking for a lower-priced accomodation, you could do a lot worse.

Pleasant stay in Grand Forks

The room was fine- nothing fancy but had everything we needed including a mini fridge and microwave. The people running the place were outstanding. We arrived early, and he was very accommodating to allow us to check in early. He offered many suggestions to things to see and do in the area. Such a friendly person, as well as the rest of the family. For a small town, Grand Forks has many recreational and cultural options. Unfortunately, the historical sites and museums were closed(covid?), but we enjoyed the parks, scenic drive and many fine old homes and buildings. We were passing through, but I would not hesitate to stop again.

Fine little hotel to stay a night as a pass-through traveller. The room felt a bit dated, the lighting was very harsh and sparse, I had a few insect visitors of several varieties, some stray hairs in the bed but I don’t believe it was from previous guests, rather the fella’s beard who made up the room. The clerk was an absolutely lovely man who attended to my request for fresh linens. All in all it was an expected level for the price and I would stay again for a short stint.
