Hotel Rooms, Update
There are 40 hotels in town. I landed at 10pm and because of the boom-bust oil business cycle had no problem getting a room on the top floor. But, something you wouldn't know from a night at the airport, the oil trains go through town every two hours. All through the night. And they are required by federal law to blow their whistle at every on grade crossing. Not a good night of sleep.

Hotel Rooms
Don't plan on stopping here unless you have a room reservation. The oil industry has every hotel booked solid, there must be at least 25 hotels in town. Thanks to the great people at Bismark Aero Center who saved the day. They have a sleep room with two beds and courtesy cars. Lack of accomodations is a problem at many towns in North Dakota.
