Food is bland as well. Very hit or miss for sure. When they are off they give the Tavern in Canad Inn a run for their money. Quote

I've been pretty fortunate service-wise at Wild Bill's (food-wise I'm so damn unfussy that I'm not a good judge) in my several visits there but at the Tavern in Canad Inn two of my last four trips on a mid-Sat afternoon over the last 2 - 3 years it has not been super busy at all yet meal has taken like a good 45 min to be served. Blew me away how slow the service was despite not being super busy at all. Quote

Really a shame because that is my favorite sushi restaurant in town. I'm not a sushi eater but there can't be that many sushi restaurants in town, are there (not that Sakura can't necessarily be good I guess)? Quote

(Not that the food isn't reason enough.) http://www.grandforksherald.com/community/people/4502325-nd-man-goes-homeless-business-owner Now about re-opening a store on the north side... Amazing! Didn't take a free handout and took initiative and made himself accountable. Please support his business. I don't live in GF but when I pass through, I will def. make a stop. Great leader and person for the Grand Forks community! Great story too btw. Thanks for sharing! Quote

Wonder how long CanAd will keep the property. I think it's there only one in the states and I feel Grand Forks would be better served by another chain. Maybe Radission or Mariott Quote

Really the only redeeming factor at the canad Is a greasy garbanzo pepperoni pizza when you need to get the plumbing unclogged. 2 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 The original Pizza Corner restaurant in Valley City is the mainstay. Everything else is second in comparison. Quote

This is a surprising review to me, as I've never had a bad experience there other than the obviously horrible service at the Tavern United. Quote

Seriously, no wonder they're rated lower than virtually all of the hotels across the street. We've stayed in most of the hotels across the street or not too far up the street and the best of them has been the Staybridge Suites and the Hampton Inn; very pleased with both, with the Sleep Inn not far behind. The only one that was a cut below was the Baymont; we wouldn't stay there again. 1 Quote

Baymont is the last gasp usually cheaper option. Quote
Ozzie82 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Canad's rooms need a top-to-bottom overhaul. Dated, worn, and dirty. Quote

I never recommend family or friends to stay at that place. Overpriced for a very average experience. I personally wish Radisson or some other U.S. chain buys the property and really turns into an actual premier hotel for Grand Forks. Quote
