Visiting ND in June, need help with hotels

I鈥檒l be visiting North Dakota the end of June and based upon the route I鈥檒l be traveling, hotels appear to be few and far between. I plan on arriving in Bismarck late on a Saturday night and have plans to stay at a nearby Holiday Inn Express 鈥?my problem begins once I leave Bismarck and head northwest towards Williston. My route will take me north on 83 and then I鈥檒l cutover to Williston via 1804 鈥?I鈥檓 basically following the scenic route from Garrison, to New Town and then up to Williston. I鈥檝e checked the AAA website and I can鈥檛 find any hotels/motels along this route, are there any? I had hoped to stop somewhere around New Town for the night, but now I鈥檓 thinking I may have to continue driving onto Williston and that will make for a long day.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Four Bears Casino and Lodge in New Town. This is your best bet if you want dinning, pool, ect.

I came across 4 Bears while I was doing a search - how is it? It would be nice to do a little gambling at night, but it%26#39;s not a must.

It is ok. It has been a few years since I have been there. I remember the accomodations being pretty decent, the dinning ok. Unless you want to travel to Minot or Williston it is by far the best place in New Town. There are some cool attractions close by. visit their website for details. Enjoy ND.

I think coldgrl is right about New Town, but it%26#39;s been a few years since I was there too, I went to the resort for a concert, didn%26#39;t spend the night there though, slept over at a friend of a friend%26#39;s place... but I think you%26#39;ll be okay there, it seemed like an okay place...

coming from the south, there was a really long, narrow, 2 lane bridge that had to be crossed to get to the place, it was such a hazard, that between then %26amp; now, they%26#39;ve finished a new bridge, %26amp; blew up the old one, I know you%26#39;re probably not coming into New Town from the south, but if you cross it sometime, let me know what you think of the new bridge...

%26amp; if you%26#39;re into little stops along the way, the little town of Riverdale is the home of ';Misty the Mermaid';, along with what%26#39;s been said to be a rock from each county in North Dakota, haven%26#39;t seen it myself, %26amp; I wish I had, cuz%26#39; I%26#39;ve passed by near there, skimmed the edge of Coleharbor, but it%26#39;s something on my list of things to see someday, so that%26#39;s one of the things I would want to do along that route you%26#39;re taking, personally speaking...

I think the 4-Bears Casino will be all right. I%26#39;ve never stayed there, but have been there a couple of times. The food won%26#39;t knock your socks off, but you won%26#39;t find anything with more services than the casino on 1804 from Garrison to Williston.

However, if you continue past New Town on 1804, there%26#39;s a cute little resort called Lund%26#39;s Landing with cabins for rent along White Tail Bay on Lake Sakakawea. They don%26#39;t have private baths, but they%26#39;re quaint and quiet. Check out this website http://www.lundslanding.com/. Swing in for some homemade Juneberry pie if you get the chance. The hosts are wonderful.

This is off your chosen route, but if you want to check out more spectacular scenery on your way to New Town, take Highway 83 north to Washburn, and then head west on Highway 200 to the town of Killdeer. Go north on Highway 22 which ends just west of New Town. Highway 22 is a designated scenic byway. The badlands suddenly pop out of the prairie. It%26#39;s seriously breathtaking.
