Top Dakota Zoo Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites Bismarck I-94

10/10 Excellent

"Everything"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Bismarck Waterpark

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazingly kind and helpful in every way. From checking in to their attitudes, to being accommodating, answering all questions, helping in a personal crisis, the breakfast was set up well and stayed full until breakfast was over. They didn't make you feel rushed. It felt very effortless, peaceful, and I definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area!!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bismarck

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location. Clean facility. Above average breakfast."

EverSpring Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, convenient location."

Ramada by Wyndham Bismarck

10/10 Excellent

"The pool and hot tub were under renovation and not available that was not known until checking in."

Super 8 by Wyndham Bismarck

8/10 Good

"I like the location and that it is quieter than being so close to the highway. However, the biggest problem we had was we had to keep a plunger in the bathroom to make things go down when we flushed. We were told not to use much paper. Here's the thing we are conservative with our paper as we live with a rural septic system. Four square rules. We were not offered a different room as you only have 15 minutes after church in to do so. Staff was helpful just not concerned about it over our five day stay. They gave us fresh towels on day three. Don't expect to get top quality service here. There is a good breakfast here not just rolls and coffee."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bismarck-Mandan

8/10 Good
