Medora, North Dakota is a funny old-timey town just outside the Theodore Roosevelt National Park which is well worth a visit if only to see the herds of buffalo and the many prairie dog villages, not to mention the very beautiful North Dakota Badlands. The Rough Rider Hotel which dates back to the 1880s, has recently undergone a rehab. The... More

This hotel, built in the 1880s, was renovated in 2009. We stayed in one of the original rooms, which was quite small and rather gloomy. It had a kingsized bed, an armoire, desk, desk chair and a bathroom with a huge shower. A flat screen TV was over the desk. The hotel is within walking distance of the visitor's center... More

This was a great hotel - our room was spacious, the bathroom was wonderful and everything was clean. I thought, from seeing pictures others had posted, that this hotel would be cheesy and decorated all western. It wasn't at all and the teddy bear on the bed was very cute. The bathroom had a cool shower with no curtain but... More

We stayed 2 nights in one of the new (tower) rooms. Very nice room overlooking someone's back yard. That was great for us because it was very quiet. Very nice lobby with coffee and a pleasant porch with rocking chairs. There is no pool, but guests can use a pool at a nearby motel. Entrance to the Teddy Roosevelt National... More
