Budget Host Caribou Inn

The Hotel itself needs repair and updated. Was there for the Beet Harvest. The Hostess was absolutely superb. Mud was a common daily thing for a month and very hard to remove from all steps. The Hostess barely slept in the month time we were there trying to accommodate us all. This person needs a raise and some help next year when we are there. I give her five plus stars and the Hotel 3.

I have stayed at this hotel for work many times over the past 8-10 years but had not been there since 2019. This hotel is under new ownership and it’s pretty sad to see how much things have deteriorated. After standing in the lobby for 10 minutes and ringing the front desk bell several times, an individual in ratty clothes and bare feet finally decided to check us in. The rooms have a musty smell and there are holes in the wall where items were removed but never repaired properly. The fridge was barely cold. The chair in the room was simply disgusting and full of stains. The carpets need cleaning real bad. Breakfast was non existent (even though they advertise a complimentary breakfast). Just some cold coffee probably from the day before. I’m thinking these new owners don’t roll out of bed until 11:00am. It’s unfortunate. The prior owners did a great job of keeping this hotel clean and staying on top of things. I’ll never stay here again. I’ll drive a little further and stay at a hotel in Grand Forks, ND instead.
