We normally tent camp, but the local campground was RV city, so we opted for a motel. At $95.00 a night, this was the cheapest we could find. Don't know what we expected, but this wasn't it. The "Bunkhouse" is a bunch of double wide trailers with four rooms/trailer. First, the positives: it was clean and the shower pressure was great. The negatives: you have to go outside just to turn around, the rooms are that small. Hope your neighbors are quiet, because you could hear someone snoring two rooms away. No landscaping, just trailers in a parking lot. If you have any choice at all, don't stay here. Yes, Medora is a contrived tourist town, but the "Bunkhouse" is an insulting way to stack as many tourists into as small a space as possible while charging too much for too little.

This was our third stay at the Bunkhouse, with the last one being about eight years ago. Not much has changed and maintenance has kept the place in pretty good shape. Yes, the motel is made up of converted double wides and the rooms are small --and no, it is not completely sound proof. It is the cheapest stay in Medora, however, and for us, acceptable. It's clean, convenient and has an outdoor pool.

We booked a weekend pakage for two by phone for $193.61--$64.61 for the room, $55.90 for the pitchfork fondue and $73.10 for the musical. The meal was OK. The steaks are always are well cooked, ours were just under well done, but still had some juice and tasted good. The experience of dining on a bluff overlooking the badlands makes up for anything the meal lacks and is worth doing at least once. The musical is pretty basic entertainment. We thought it had been better in past years, but still fun.

There's a lot of things to do in Medora, not the least of which is exploring the badlands and Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

I booked my stay at this "hotel" over the phone and did not arrive until after the musical. My first surprise was that I had register at a different hotel half a mile away. You would have thought that this would have been mentioned when I made the reservation or got directions at the musical, but it was not.
My next surprise was the room was in a double wide trailer. The room itself was cheaply furnished and everything was well worn. I was glad at least that I was the only in the trailer I was in. I cannot imagine the walls would provide much sound protection.
Other than the national park and possibly the musical I would avoid Medora as much as possible. If you want to stay in the area try a nearby town.

After attending the Medora Musical my husband and I spent the night at the Bunkhouse Motel in medora. We got the Bunkhouse package with very reasonable rates with two tickets for the Musical, the Pitchfork Fondue and one night in the motel for $159 (it came to $182 with taxes etc.). We knew ahead of time that this was not a fancy place to stay. The room was small,but it was clean, easy to find, close to the musical, and quiet. It was also airconditioned on a day that the outside temp was close to 100 degrees. So, it worked well for the reason that we were staying there. If you want a fancy, luxurious place to stay this is not it. But, if you, like us, just want a clean place to sleep after attending the musical this was perfect.
