cheap option for one night...

Liked: This was the cheapest option to stay one night in Fargo/Moorhead area. The room was adequate, had a working fridge and microwave, there was breakfast, there is a tiny gym and a sauna even. Beds were very comfortable and clean and the showers were hot. Staff was friendly, albeit overworked. They gave us a different room upon check-in, because our original one had no microwave. WiFi was good.
Disliked: There is a lot of noise from the fan in the bathroom, it sounded like it was on its last legs. The room was clean, except all the counter and table surfaces that were sticky from all the food, probably, that someone else ate. The breakfast is OK by US standards and included, but primarily consisted of carbs (waffles, bagels), some really brown bananas, etc. They did have hard boiled eggs and cheese sticks. Door keys work poorly, old system with a swipe. TV did not work, although they replaced our Direct TV box (we did not care about the TV, frankly).
