Harvest Inn-Oakes — Hotel in Oakes

My daughter and I spent the weekend down home where I grew up. We stayed at the Harvest Inn in Oakes, ND. It's one that I would totally recommend if you're traveling through small town USA.

The king rooms do have microwaves, and coffee pots in them as well as mini fridges. The double queen rooms do have the mini fridge but lack the coffee pot and microwave. After speaking with the front desk attendant this morning I found out why.

Spilled coffee and coffee grounds are extremely difficult to clean out of carpeting so the executive decision was made to remove them from the queen rooms.

The motel has 24 hr coffee bar service at the front desk and a usable microwave for all guests..

Over all our experience was totally amazing despite the lack of staffing as was also discussed this morning. Being I grew up in that area the attendant and I were chumming it up like old friends despite not knowing her at all.

North Dakota nice is a real thing and it's contagious.

So if you're thinking about traveling small town USA I highly recommend the Harvest Inn in Oakes.

I hope you get out there and explore the small towns and appreciate the little things like fresh air and huge skies that go for miles. There's just something about the...

The staff was friendly and helpful and the continental breakfast was a nice touch. We have stayed in other establishments in the area over the years and this was definitely the best. Lodging is pretty hard to find in this rather remote area so I would jump on it if you need a good place to stay at a decent price in...

We have family in Oakes, ND, and we have been staying at the Harvest Inn since they opened. They have done an excellent job of keeping the hotel clean and in good condition. It's nice when we come in hunting season, they have a kennel room/ game cleaning area. There is a bar attached to the hotel, but our family just prefers the pizza you can order from the front desk. There is a small breakfast available. If you're needing to stay in Oakes, this is your...
