    My sister reserved a room for us through a 3rd party platform only to be contacted by Laura to say…read morewe're on the "do not rent list". We've never been to Bowman, ND as this was my first trip to North Dakota. My husband then reserved the room under his name directly through Bowman Lodges website. For some reason, his card declined, so he called the property and Laura confirmed our reservation and said we could just pay upon arrival. A few minutes later, someone ran our card again and it went through. 4 minutes after that, Laura called and told my husband that he's also on the "do not rent to list" My husband has also never been to North Dakota. The fact that they charged us only to inform us a few minutes later they were refusing to rent us a room, smells like fraud to me. After we got to town, my husband went inside the hotel to ask for his money back and the front desk clerk called the police on him! Not sure what shenanigans this place is up to, but, probably best to watch for fraudulent charges from here.

    This spot was very nice and better than literally everything we found even close to the area. We've…read morebeen doing our trip day by day and came up from Keystone so we were looking last minute and there was nothing in so many parts of SD and ND, and if there was, the places were gross. Not Bowman Lodge. It's clean and has signs all over mentioning sanitizing for covid. The service is very friendly, and the room was spacious and nice. The lodge is pretty and there's a free continental breakfast. If you're on your way to Medora/Theodore Roosevelt National Park and not going to make it all the way, this is a great spot to rest for the night.

    Everything was clean and comfortable. I had heard about a school being turned into a hotel with a…read morecastle theme and wanted to see it myself. Very impressive! Some of the critics are perhaps comparing it to a big hotel chains. It reminds me of people going to other countries and complaining that they don't get the same service they are used to in the U.S. I think the idea was genius and admire the ambition and perseverance of making it happen and creating such a unique hotel. I love it!

    A cool nights rest on our journey through North Dakota…read more There's not a lot of staff, so no one was at the front desk to check us in. Instead, we had a phone number to call and have someone stop by the front desk to get us checked in. The room is nice. There's even a little "kitchen" area. I liked the knight accents, but felt like it needed a little more. My favorite part was the gymnasium, where you could throw some basketballs around. If you are looking for food, go down the street. They shouldn't even be serving food with the quality I received. I ordered the fish basket, and I'm not sure if it was the breading or the fish, but it tasted completely of mold and I couldn't eat it. My sister had the prime rib, which was completely raw on the inside, and a lot of it was fat. Her corn was hard and cold and just gross. I don't know why we had any hope for the dessert, but we ordered the raspberry cheesecake, and it was disgusting. First, it wasn't even cold, and second, it was hard. Do not eat here. And the service is so slow. I get it, it's a small town, but two hours for a meal is way too long. All in all, the room was nice, but save your money and eat at the other restaurant down the road.
