“1970s hotel in the modern era”

This Holiday Inn was likely built in the 1970s based on design. Getting in from the road is a bit of a hassle due to how there are multiple wings branching out all over. When checking in, they will tell you which entrance your room is near (they are numbered) and suggest parking near it. I arrived around 5 so my room was ready. Elevator wasn’t bad as I rode it to the second floor. Typical room, not fancy. Immediately left to go to the RedHawks game and came back around 10 to enjoy the hotel bar, which was busy due to a few conventions. Eventually went back to the room, and had a good night’s sleep. Room was clean. Woke up next morning, and had the typical weak water pressure. I had coffee from the lobby (there is also a coffee shop and small restaurant) and took a look around the pool. It has a pirate theme with slides for kids, but room for adults to swim. There is a small arcade and pool tables. It’s essentially a remnant of the old Holidome concept I loved as a kid 30+ years ago. Poolside rooms too! The pool didn’t open until 9 or 10 so I asked the front desk if that was a hard opening time, and she said it was due to the poolside rooms. Since they had a guard around, I wasn’t going to take my chances. Checkout was fine and I was on my way. Sadly I didn’t really get to see Fargo, didn’t see downtown at all, so I may have to return at some point. If so, I would certainly consider coming back, hopefully to use the pool.
