This hotel needs to "clean up their act". Literally. We paid a rather premium price for our room (more that $200). On arrival (early evening on a Friday) check in went fine, but things kinda went downhill from there. Since we had an upper floor room, we needed to use the elevator. It was our first hint that the place needs a good cleaning and "spruce up". The "door frame" around the elevator is badly worn, paint chipped, bare wood showing, etc. Then, when the elevator opens, there was a slightly unpleasant smell and the elevator interior carpeting was extremely stained and dirty. Not what you'd expect from a hotel that get's in excess of $200 for a room. Arriving in the room, at first glance, pretty decent. But checking out the bathroom, we found remnants of fecal matter in the bottom of the bowl. A call to the front desk, and a young man from staff promptly showed up with a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner and a brush. He handed those items in the door and indicated that WE could clean the bowl -- he was not permitted to do that for us. Really? In a $200 room we are responsible to clean crap in the toilet bowl from a previous occupant? Amazing. We would have left right then and there and found a different hotel, but everyone in Grand Forks was booked up solid. We feel taken.
