Best place we stayed in for a long time. So clean. New. Beautiful furniture. Pool. Hammocks. Beautiful hills in the back, save for a few terribly placed houses, but that can't be helped. The people at the front desk were so accommodating. They helped us get into a bigger room after the website said their was only a single bed. So helpful. They know what they are doing. I wish it was more of a motel style rather than having to walk down a corridor, but that is just how they decided to do it. I loved our stay. The family room was so spacious. Huge, clear TV.

Check in staff was friendly, did not however let us know there was an adjoining room to office that had a microwave and coffee for guests. That information would have been useful to us. Otherwise, appreciate a more economically priced option to stay in town while visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Easy close walk to town on sidewalk. Room is not oversized but plenty of space for the 2 of us to relax after a day in the park. Very clean and quiet.

The rooms are small but comfortable(I sleep better on their beds than at home!). The room design is a bit cramped for two people, but we spend most of our time outdoors. This hotel is in a lovely location with easy access to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Medora Musical. We always stay here and we love the price!

Just there this weekend. Family of 5 in a family room fit us just fine. Only complaint was what people have all reviewed the same….the blankets are basically a sheet. Bring an extra blanket per bed!

I was having such an awful time on a roadtrip due to personal issues and was having a minor breakdown (house flooded while on vacation) so we had to rush back home to Oregon the next morning. On top of that when I checked in, I realized I booked my dates wrong. The front staff were so genuinely kind and professional. They were able to find me a room. Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy the full experience since we only had the room to be able to sleep for about 6 hrs before we had to leave back home to Oregon. But it was super quiet. The room was big, clean, and the beds were comfy. Highly recommend! Also thank you to the 2 ladies that helped me when I checked in. Your kindness meant something.

Great place to take pets. Rooms were humble but very clean and comfortable. Not too bad of a walk across the tracks to "downtown". Outdoor pool didn't seem heated, and was rather chilly even in late June. No hottub (it's a kiddie pool). Walls are a bit thin but typical for a lot of hotels. Area is quiet and on the edge of town. Nice grass area for dogs. There's a small amount of room for trailers, but it's not dedicated or large.

Solid room. My only complaint was the room got a little hot at night even with the ac on 65 degrees. Bed is a little far away from the AC which is the reason for this I believe. I’d stay again though!

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay, the rooms were much more spacious than the pictures made them look and it was mostly quiet. The beds only have a thin sheet and a very light blanket so we did struggle to find a comfortable temperature. We did try to check in early and were told no and there is only 1 ice machine in the entire complex. The numbers on the outside of the buildings (visible from parking) didn't match which room numbers were actually in the building.
