The mansion was constructed in 1884 and was not originally built for the governors of North Dakota, but rather as a private resident. The mansion was the North Dakota governors' residence from 1893 to 1960, which is pretty sweet! They are very open to photography, so snap away! The mansion gets decorated for different seasons and holidays, which I can't wait to come back for the holiday season! Lastly, there is a lot for children to do here, they have historic games that you can do with your children on the lawn and a scavenger hunt! It is 100% a self-guided tour, however a site supervisor is always around and is happy to answer questions! I asked her about any paranormal activity that the mansion has had and she did have a few stories for me; pretty cool, a haunting presence somewhere in the heart of Bismarck, North Dakota! I was treated so well and the site supervisor was super welcoming! There is two floors, both open to the public (every bedroom and room is open). The upstairs is not handicap accessible, because you have to climb stairs. Additionally, there is a "Carriage House" which is basically the garage that has been converted into a museum full of historical artifacts! You could spend approximately 1-2 hours here and get the feel of the whole place. The North Dakota State Historical Society clearly did a lot of research and beautiful restoration to this place. I will no doubt be back and I am so thankful that I stopped on by on a beautiful August day! I hope you enjoy the pictures I captured!

It's a very small airport with only a few gates. We had no issues with picking up luggage from baggage claim since there are so few flights.

For a smaller regional airport, Bismarck Airport is surprisingly smooth and easy to get through…read more Security was quick, the staff were friendly, and the whole place felt clean and organized. It's definitely one of those airports where you don't feel rushed or stressed the moment you walk in. The layout is simple, so finding your gate is a breeze. Seating was decent, and there are enough charging outlets to keep your phone alive while you wait. Food options are limited, but what they do have is fine for a quick bite before boarding. One thing I really appreciated was how calm the airport felt. No long lines, no chaotic crowds, just a straightforward in-and-out experience. If all airports operated like this, traveling would be a lot less stressful. Overall, BIS is small, clean, and efficient. If you're flying in or out of Bismarck, it definitely makes the travel day easier.

The grass and buildings are very green and well kept. There are several different statues that share about the history of North Dakota that are fun to explore and learn more about. We stopped at several of them. You can also join a tour if you would like to explore the capital more. We didn't since we had our dog with us, although sat on the steps of the capitol building and enjoyed the view!

No problems getting in and out - easy to navigate. All utilities good. Site fairly level with ground asphalt surface (not our favorite). No host on site, but the hut at entrance had everything we needed. The issue here are the buddy sites, which are VERY close together. With both occupied and slides out, it was VERY hard to walk between rigs. Not a big deal if you have quite neighbors. I'd rate this place 3 1/2 stars but they get the benefit of the doubt since we can no longer give half stars.

If they come late, I'm not upset, because obviously there are plenty of others who need to be driven around, especially as the community continues to grow. I understand that. From what I gather, it's a relatively small fleet, perhaps six or so cars, so on a weekend, I can see where that would be demanding. From their location on the Strip, it is not a quick ride out to the airport or all around Bismarck-Mandan to various bars and restaurants and homes. I would rather that they arrive a little bit late than speed to me, anyway, since that indicates they aren't reckless drivers. Just as a reminder to any interested parties, human lives are more important than speedy pickups or extra tips. As far as that small fleet goes, I imagine that it will keep growing as long as they continue to provide their valuable service around the area. They do a much-needed service in the community that is overlooked frequently by people who take it for granted, which is fine, but we need to remember to be thankful. I prefer them to the other company in town simply because I am treated so well when I call and am picked up, even if it takes a little extra time. :)

There's a pet relief area, with dog waste bags available. The hotel is right next to a gas station/liquor. There are several restaurants & a Starbucks within walking distance. Upon first arrival, the parking lot might seem rather small. However, there is also parking available on the S/SW part of the hotel. The hotel staff was plating breakfast meals due to COVID. Two complaints: The pillows are mediocre. Also, I've stayed at this La Quinta several times. During one stay, the heat & A/C unit worked great. The other stay, it didn't work properly.

After a 24-hour drive from Seattle, I arrived to find an empty, lifeless lobby--no fireplace, no other guests, and even the small retail counter was completely bare. The only staff member present appeared very young and visibly unprofessional, with hickeys covering her neck. I had my ID and credit card ready and simply mentioned that I was a returning guest and asked for the best available room rate. That should have been straightforward. Instead, I stood waiting for about 15 minutes before she told me she needed to call her boss. When I asked if there was a problem, she explained that it was her first day, she didn't know what she was doing, and that she had been left alone at the front desk. That was the breaking point. After an exhausting drive, I wasn't interested in being someone's training exercise. I asked for my card back and left to stay elsewhere. This experience points to one thing: poor management. Leaving an untrained employee alone to run an entire hotel--especially during the holidays--is unacceptable. It's disappointing, because I've historically had good experiences with La Quinta and expected better. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this location.
