I stayed at the Bunkhouse this last weekend, in the family unit. I travelled with a friend and did not want to share the room. Mainly because it was very small, the twin beds about a foot apart. The *family Unit * was simply two small rooms with adjoining door. Overpriced I thought for the facility. No coffee machine, very... More

We had to stay here because we travel with pets and it is where the central reservations person put us. It is a trailer to be sure, but I have stayed in similar places that were better. The sheets were very old and shabby and the pillowcases did not match the sheets. The curtains seem to have been there for... More

As another reviewer said, the room is basically doublewide trailers split up into tiny rooms. Inside you will find a bed, bath, air conditioner, TV, and flyswatter. My main complaint is the maids are obviously lazy and don't change/wash sheets and towels as they should be. I checked in the first night and find a blood stain on one of... More

If you have ever been in a mobile home, you will recognize what these are immediately. They are essentially double wide trailer divided into tiny little rooms and baths. The room is tiny and barely fit the beds. It was clean and if you are desperate for a place to spend the night, they are OK to clean up and... More

I think my title says it all. yes, you have to check in at the Badlands. Yes, these are cheap mobile trailers all set together. Small. Good water pressure, but not much hot water. You'll probably have to shower in shifts. (or else together :P) And yes, it is discerning when you go in and there's a flyswatter hanging on... More

OK for one night, just a place to crash. The Bunkhouse is an offshoot of the Badlands Motel. It's across the railway line from the Badlands, but you must check in at the Badlands Motel to get the key. The Badlands check-in staff were friendly, helpful and polite. The Bunkhouse complex is more like a hostel than a motel, but... More

This place is a group of older building, one level, built for miners, back in the day. No soundproofing and small with no frills. However, it was very clean and the bed was pretty good. We had an end unit in the last building which may have helped reduce the amount of noise. It's the cheapest lodging in Medora, and... More

We originally tried to check in at a sister hotel owned by the same non-local group. They were full so they offered us a room at The Bunkhouse. We needed a room with 2 double beds for my husband & I and our 2 kids. The room they gave us only had 2 twin beds. WE would not have stayed... More

If you want a taste of being a cowhand, this is the place to stay. The name says it all. It is almost like staying in a real bunkhouse. They made small rooms in some double-wide trailers and called it a motel. I must say that the room was clean. It was also bug free, although it worried me a... More
