Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Fargo
For the vast majority of travelers, Hector International Airport (FAR) is the only practical choice, as it is the only airport located within the city limits of Fargo. It offers the most convenient access and a variety of ground transport, including public bus, rideshare, and taxis. The remaining four airports serve neighboring cities and are significant distances away. Grand Forks International Airport (GFK) is located in the neighboring city of Grand Forks and is a secondary option for those needing an alternative flight schedule; the Amtrak train provides a unique, scenic transit option between the two cities. Thief River Falls Regional Airport (TVF), Jamestown Regional Airport (JMS), and Bemidji Regional Airport (BJI) are all located in different neighboring communities in Minnesota or North Dakota, respectively. These airports generally require long drives or private transfers and should only be considered if flight availability or pricing at the main hub is unavailable. Travelers should prioritize FAR whenever possible to minimize transit time and maximize convenience.

This was a trip for a family funeral. It served our needs well. I had stayed there 4 years ago. It doesn’t seem like it has been kept up very well - definitely sighs of aging.
There was an advertised “dinner” in the lobby in the early evening; it was chicken nuggets, iceberg lettuce with dressing, and potato chips. I think a “happy hour” with things like chips/salsa, cheese/crackers, veggies/dip might be more appealing.
The breakfast was better than expected - the best we’ve seen since our limited travels the past pandemic years. Wasn’t fancy, but it was ok.
Front desk staff was very helpful.
A serviceable hotel, at a reasonable cost. FromUS$96

Overall the stay was good. Great location, close to everything. The hot tub only worked 1 out of the 4 days we were there and the pool I felt needed to be warmer but my wife said it was on the last day on her morning swim. The hotel had minimal staff during our stay but I still got what I needed when I called so that was nice.
TIPS:
- Rooms need more (or larger) garbage bins.
- Rooms need a recycle bin.
- Hotel needs more garbage and recycle bins on each floor. Eg. at each elevator, near the ice/water machine, main floor entrance (inside and out).
- Hotel needs recycle bins on each floor.FromUS$118

The pillows on the bed were sub-par. The room had an odor that I think was coming from the carpet. Only 1 elevator was working, 2 small hot tubs and 1 not working. No instructions in the room for 2 remotes. Not sure I’d rebook for those reasons alone.FromUS$82

Overall a good stay. Parking in the ramp is a breeze. Downtown location is convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the complimentary bathroom amenities, they are different from the usual hotel stay. Tasteful decor.
The carpet in our room is worn and had a big stain. Bathroom tile could use a good steam as the grout is quite black.FromUS$142
