Super 8 Hotels in Fargo

Must agree with ”BURN IT DOWN” and ”SLEEP IN YOUR CAR” reviews! Welcome to the little hotel of horrors! This hotel was suppose to be our last sleep on our way home from a family road trip. Every hotel room we had stayed at along the way had been checked by my husband beforehand to make sure the room was clean, this time though it was 11 pm and we had been driving all day. The outside appearance seemed good (in the dark) so he went ahead and booked a room. We hauled our things up to the room just to find dog hair and little garbage all over the floor, something smeared on the wall and the mirror. I didn't need to look further, we decided to see if a cleaner room was available. After some time trying, my husband managed to flag down some of the rude front desk staff and they gave him a card for the room right next door. After trying the card a few times the door opened and another guest said ”you got the wrong room”. As he said this I heard a loud bark and decided I should probably wait in our room while my husband tried to explain this was the room number we were given. Before I could take the three steps back into our room, the dog had squeezed it's way out and lunged straight at me! I instantly pushed him off but he chomped down on my hand!! The next minute was a bit of a blur as I wasn't sure who got the dog off of me and the next thing I remember doing was getting our boys back into our room for safety as I did not know where this dog was and by now my daughter has locked herself into the bathroom and is crying in absolute fright! After a moment I went downstairs to tell the staff what had happened and nobody would take responsibility for the error. Then the dog owners came down and apologized, though the room mix up wasn't their fault the dog should have been restrained with a harness. They assured us the dog had rabies shots up to date. We do not know if the dog was cleared to come in or snuck in a back door. We left in frustration and continued our drive toward home discussing what action should be taken. My hand was swelling and had multiple punctures and one longer gash about 3/4” long. When we arrived in Grand Forks we decided that we would ask the advice of the authorities. They recommended seizing the dog till proof of shots was provided, the family did not have any, so the animal was taken in to monitor for ten days. As i write this review we are nearing the end of the ten days praying that rabies treatment will not be necessary. We read many hotel reviews before booking and if we had read all the warnings for this hotel we would never have stayed.
