We have stayed at La Quinta (Fargo) several times already. With each visit, we are greeted with friendly staff, and shown clean rooms. The hotel is close to a major street, making this location easy to access shopping and dining venues. On our first visit a few years ago, there was a Manager’s special feature, offering free beverages and food from 4 - 6pm. This feature appears to be discontinued. While we never availed ourselves of this, I can understand how valuable this feature might be for a travelling family. The hot breakfast is good, however. One off-putting issue at our last visit was the odor permeating the bathroom — we noticed it when we first entered the suite. Later, we thought it must be due to the rather pungent taste of the water. I’m not sure if this is now a persistent issue with this hotel, or, if the Fargo water system is to blame, but it brought our rating down one star.
