Rough Riders

The lobby was pretty with an upscale rustic look. The check-in desk clerk was super friendly and helpful. We had a ground floor double queen room (not in the historic wing) and our window looked onto the back yards of the neighboring houses. There were blinds but no blackout curtains so bring your sleep mask if you want darkness. It was a small room but the layout worked well. The bathroom was large with a very nice tiled walk-in shower. The vanity was tall to accommodate the extra deep sink. Nice, thick towels were provided. The décor included a Theodore Roosevelt themed teddy bear and a coffee table book about Medora, both of which were available for purchase at the front desk. We parked in the small lot behind the hotel and there was a card-key door at that entrance which was very convenient to our room.

Delightful well-appointed large room. Only wish there was a view of the cliffs instead of just tree branches. Highly recommend eating in Theodore's restaurtant. Our meal of Bison Osso Bucco, salad and truffle fries if I remember correctly was delicious.

Although the Rough Riders Hotel was ~$300/night, it provided an excellent hotel to stay in for a tourist area. The location is hard to beat, being just a few blocks from the park entrance and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and ice cream. The rooms were quiet, spacious, and even informative with a nice touch of a book on Teddy and Medora history. The shower was top notch! The staff was multi-national and helpful for our needs.
