North Dakota hotels and motels abound, but which one offers the best accommodations for your particular business trip? If you plan to be there for a day or a weekend, the accommodations you need will be different than those needed for a longer stay. If you are entertaining your clients or meeting with them for business, this can also be a factor in where you stay, especially if you are providing the meeting room.

Choose the best facilities to make your business trip a success. You may need wireless Internet, unlimited free local calls, a business center to send faxes or meeting room capabilities. On longer stays, you may prefer a suite to just a room. Look for the following when you book a motel room in North Dakota:

1. Find a motel in ND offering overnight accommodations.

2. Choose motels in ND with kitchens and separate bedroom when you need to stay longer.

3. Select North Dakota hotels and motels near resorts, and mix business with pleasure.

Look for motels in North Dakota for short term stays

If you are going to North Dakota for a one day business meeting, you just need a place to park yourself overnight. Then you can catch your flight home in the morning. As long as the room is clean, comfortable and offers basics such as Internet, it should do the job for you.

I recommend: Super 8 offers free high-speed wireless Internet access, complimentary breakfast and complimentary USA newspaper. Econo Lodge Fargo by Choice provides free wireless Internet access, free breakfast, free coffee and free local calls.

Pick extended stay hotels in North Dakota for longer stays

When you will be staying for a week or longer, extended stay hotels in ND are your best bet for a successful business trip. These hotels offer more than one room suites; they provide full kitchens, business centers, high-speed wireless Internet and meeting centers.

I recommend: Ramada Plaza & Suites Fargo offers 2 room suites with wet bars, high-speed Internet, car rental desk and free parking. Wingate by Wyndham offers king suites with high-speed Internet access and complimentary breakfast.

Make your ND hotel reservation near the resorts for business and pleasure

Visit North Dakota for business but stay for the many activities offered by this diverse state. Follow the route that Lewis and Clark took or visit one of the 24 wildlife refuges and see the annual migration of wildlife. Learn about Sitting Bull or do more traditional activities such as horseback riding or visiting the rodeo. Your North Dakota hotel front desk will inform you of events going on while you visit.

I recommend: At The Lodge Red River Ranch enjoy horseback riding, hiking, fly fishing or ATV or Jeep excursions. If you like to hunt you came to the right place with year round hunting from Pheasant to big game. Holiday Inn operated by First Call Hotels is located directly across from West Acres Shopping Mall. Enjoy fine dining after a day of swimming in the indoor pool or working out in the fitness center.
