Motel

1903 N Merrill Ave, Glendive, MT

Break up your initial trek out of North Dakota at this sprawling, family-owned independent highway anchor located just one mile from downtown Glendive. Positioned right on the edge of the scenic Yellowstone River, this completely unchained full-service motel functions as the ultimate basecamp for hunting, fishing, and exploring the fossil-rich Badlands. Guests can book directly through their local standalone portal to access an on-site traditional Montana restaurant, a casual lounge casino, and expansive parking, all just three miles from the dramatic hiking trails of Makoshika State Park.
