Medora’s Hospitality Director
Holding the title of the oldest operating hotel in the state of North Dakota means a lot. We’ve been in the hospitality game longer than anyone around here. When someone asks “You’ve been at it so long, it’s gotta’ be great, right?” I always respond, “It is, come see for yourself!”
Â
Our Theodores dining room has a lot to offer, and today, I’m loving the Bison Osso Bucco from our dinner menu. Or the Denver Omelet from our breakfast menu.

LITTLE PICTURES. BIG MOMENTS.
