Stayed at the Howard Johnson hotel in Merilville IN. Very nice staff. To be nice, the hotel is outdated and needs some TLC. The room was affordable and clean. Has a lot of food options nearby and shopping available. If you need just a place to stay for the night, no frills, I would recommend this.

Laquinta Inn was clean and staff courteous. Diverse staff made me feel comfortable. Fargo has a comfortable number of Black people to make you feel comfortable. Traveled through Fargo several times with no problems.
