The rooms are clean, and the atmosphere is charming with a lovely fireplace and library. The restaurant offers a decent breakfast, although the waitress could have been more friendly. Overall, I would rate the rooms 5 out of 5.

The attached restaurant was surprisingly very good- we had both dinner and breakfast. Would recommend.

First of all it is like stepping back in time in a wonderful way, the bar staff is second to none, and the food is unreal. The rooms are perfect and everyone is friendly as can be.For my brief story, and I am reluctant to call people to task but it is really worth noting for your trip, I was fully booked at the Wyndham down the road, paid in full, and upon arrival they told me they had cancelled my reservation no notice. I asked had they emailed, called, anything, they said it wasn't there responsibility to do so and they couldn't be ruder. Totally not indicative of Medora or North Dakota more broadly. I walked over to the Rough Rider and they worked it out to get me a room even with a busy weekend and a packed hotel on top of it they gave me the standard rate, no fees or nothing. Jolene, the woman at the front desk, was the sweetest person at the place and must be working on being beatified, in my mind she's a saint already. I wish I remembered every other staffers name because they were all so great.If you are staying in Medora, this should be your first choice. You will never forget the experience and if you are still deciding on a trip go to North Dakota, it is truly a wonderful place.
