Waffles rock

For the past year or so, I've stayed at the Bison a few days, every month. It's a very quaint, affordable, and comfortable hotel. I like the location, everything just about, within walking distance. The staff is friendly. The waffles for breakfast everyday is a huge perk!!

Good value

The carpets are weathered and the furniture has some age on it but room was clean bed was comfortable had several 100 tv channels for when in room. I thought was very good value for the price. If you want a spiffy looking hotel this isn’t it. If you want a great value for your money that is comfortable and clean and you can overlook some aging great choice

Damp carpet

The room was clean, bathroom was good. The only issue was the carpet was damp, the AC worked but, the room was damp feeling and wouldn't cool down. When you walked in the room it smelled like a wet dog

The front desk workers were very nice and quick. However, our room was quite worn with age and use. The bathroom sink was not cleaned, the shower drain was very slow and cluttered the bathroom, and there was no screen on the window.

The most reasonable of properties in Moorhead MN. Room 109 had the lowest toilet I have ever, unfortunately, experienced in 60 years of travel. Room basics were adequate. No hair dryer. Staff was friendly and professional. Reception trainee was sharp. Breakfast was minimal. Good. quiet location on the southern perifery of the city.

The room smelled like cigarette smoke, and they allowed smoking right outside of the back door. The extra lock on the room door was broken. The room was clean, except for the cig. smell. The price reflects to facility. It is a good enough place to stay for a night or two. Also, be aware that they lock the front door at 11 pm and they may not answer the bell.
