Bismarck Hotel And Conference Center

“Look at options when in Bismarck”

Let's start with the good: the rooms are dated but clean and comfortable.

Let's start with the good: the rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. The people are really nice, and even though the hotel van was broken, the staff used personal cars to pick me up and drop me off at the airport. All that was 5 stars. Now let's talk about the issues. First the hotel is aging badly. Little has changed here in years and years. The conference I attended suffered through 90's tech on the AV/screens. The conference rooms downstairs were freezing until the end of the 3-day conference where they started warming up (?). The conference catering was fair to good. Again the service folks were great. Maybe 4 stars. Now let's just cover the hotel rooms and such. There is no breakfast service at the hotel. There is a bar/restaurant that serves simple things like burgers and fries and such - some would call it pub food. Lunch (if the cook shows up) and dinner only. No service was offered to refresh the room for the three days I stayed. The room has no modern power and USB support. Most of the plugs either don't work or they are so worn out that devices just fall out of the plug. The water was barely warm on all three days for morning showers. Never tried the evening. I did not see anyone using the pool, be sure to check if it is open and operational. This part gets 2 stars on a good day. There are many newer and comparable priced options for hotel in Bismarck. But for conferences I think this one is it.
