Hotel is easy to find, right off the interstate. There are convenient restaurants nearby. Highly recommend taking a short drive to Medora. The musical was fantastic.

Nothing special here, but a good place to lay your head after driving for hours across the barrenness (and beauty) of the Dakotas. The front desk woman was very positive and fun, answering questions honestly and seeming to genuinely enjoy her job. The pool was nice, but seemed to be more directed towards kids...as there's a HUGE water slide. Being an idiot 27 year old, I thought it would be fun to try the slide out. As an adult, I would recommend that you steer clear of it and leave it to the kids. I'm not exactly a wimp, but I was screaming like a baby and my mom was afraid I was going to fly off of it. Trust me, it's faster and more petrifying than it appears on first glance. Not sure that it was built for people over 150lbs. But if you have kids, they will absolutely LOVE it!

The room was very nice and clean. No complaints there. I wish it had had a mini fridge, but other than that it was just fine. The fitness center, however, was kind of a bust. Both of the treadmills appeared to work at first, but a few minutes of investigation showed that neither of them were 100% functional. The elliptical was new, however, so I used that. Unfortunately, though, there was a giant window between the gym and the pool, so unsupervised children could bang on the glass and ogle while you were working out. Not a big deal, but a little annoying.

Breakfast was touch and go. Good cinnamon rolls, really disgusting powdered eggs. Plenty of variety, though, so you won't go hungry.

Clean, close to highway so easy to find but rather noisy. Nice pool and helpful and friendly front desk. No complaints.

We (three couples) are on a road trip to Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, etc. from Minnesota and our first stop was Dickinson ND. As a Priority Club member, I try to stay at HIE as often as I can. I highly recommend you join the reward programs of ANY hotel you plan to visit as we have never been disappointed in the rooms. Anyway, this is a great hotel with a fun pool area (fun water slide and hot tub too) and lovely lobby. The rooms were great...we had king suites and the beds were comfortable and the room clean. Lots of room in the bathroom. Price is right, great room, friendly staff, and nice free breakfast. It was a great start to our road trip!
