Expressway Suites of Bismarck

Great place. Pool/hot tub were nice. Good size for both. Room was clean and nice. The bed was super comfy and the couch was nice as well. The breakfast was the best one I've had. There were sandwiches, burritos, waffles, cereal, toast, eggs and yogurt plus more. Thy had coffee, cappuccino and hot chocolate. There was a good amount of seating plus area of games so kids could play. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a bar with blackjack table and eMachines but we stayed on a Sunday so they were not available but still looked nice.

There was a kid birthday party in the pool area before we came and they put a lot of crumbs and candy wrappers in the pool. So that was a little dirty but not the hotel staff fault. Nothing else negative. It was quiet, felt safe and great overall experience.

From check-in to check-out staff members always acknowledged me and offered a friendly greeting. I requested a quiet room and was offered a top floor, corner room, which isolated me from a lot of activity. Nice that they were able to accommodate a simple request. Plus I was right across the hall from the stairway for easy access. Breakfast options were suitable for a quick repast. If you want more options there's a Perkins right next door, easy to walk over to.

Access to the parking lot is from either the cross-streets to the east or west of the Expressway. Not a big deal as they probably had no other option from the city.

Easy check-in: Gayla was very helpful. The bed was very comfortable, and we liked the furniture, especially the armoire. The lighting was excellent, there were six lights. Having the outlets built into the lights and alarm clock was very helpful. The bathroom with the walk-in shower was very nice. This was the first time we ever stayed at Expressway Suites, and we wish they had other locations. The hotel was nicely decorated, and I was sorry that I did not get the opportunity to use the pool.

Our only wish was that the toilet would be higher.

Everything was wonderful. Initially, I was skeptical about the prepackaged breakfast sandwiches, but they were great. From beginning to end, this was the best place we stayed on our entire trip. We could have lived in our room, it was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. I wish we had a reason to visit more often!!

I can't even make up something I didn't like. It was absolutely wonderful.

Good quality well maintained hotel on the south side of Bismarck with easy access to airport, shopping mall, numerous restaurants and good routes to downtown Bismarck, Mandan and major highways. Superior in my opinion to the nearby Ramkota which, in May 2022, is looking a little run down, and a better value IMHO than the also nearby Fairfield Inn. Friendly staff, room clean and in good repair. Comfortable bed. Largish "suite" style rooms. Adequate breakfast but heavy on carbs and sugar. Good room noise insulation. I'm a repeat customer, so it's been a good choice for me.

The pseudo pre-payment requirements for reservations (you are charged when you reserve but offered free cancellation, as opposed to being charged when you stay), is a little annoying and cumbersome for the guest. They need to add some protein (eggs, sausage, anything) to the breakfast buffet! But that's true of many hotels these days...

The bed was super comfortable. The staff was very friendly. I liked having the bar/lounge right at the hotel and it actually stayed open late in the evening. Just traveled for a short getaway and it was perfect for what we wanted.

Everything was great. The only thing I would say anything about is that our bathroom door didn't latch but it was just me and my husband so it wasn't an issue for us. Otherwise, we had a great time.

The Expressway was very clean, friendly and inviting. The attendant at breakfast, Kim, was so sweet to my grandson. We will definitely stay there again.

What's not to like? Everything was perfect!

Loved the location! Clothes to the mall and other major chain stores! Great eating options nearby as well.

I didn't like that there wasn't a secondary lock on the room door-just the dead bolt. I by no means felt unsafe during my stay, but I would have liked to see another lock as well. Breakfast options were pretty bare bones, but at least it was something!!

The staff was attentive and friendly! Breakfast had plenty of to go options, and the coin laundry was an added bonus.

The carpet in the room was dirty, or old? Bits of it would stick to our feet, so we always wore socks, taking them off right before bed to avoid getting bits of fabric in the sheets. Not the end of the world, but not what you’d expect.

The staff is very friendly, especially the lady who works the breakfast area. I bring my elderly mother to Bismarck for medical appointments and when we stay at the Expressway she is so respectful and helpful when it comes to my mother. This is so appreciated and I make sure she knows this.

The parking can get a little tight but I know that can't be changed.
