In the rolling prairie and Bakken country of eastern Montana, Sidney, Montana, sits near the North Dakota line along the Missouri River, and the Best Western Golden Prairie Inn & Suites makes a fresh, friendly base, with warm cookies waiting in the lobby. The wide-open ranch and oil country spreads out all around, and the hotel is a favorite waypoint for travelers heading north toward Canada. Newly built rooms set up a clean, comfortable night, and a business center offers free printing from the guest rooms. A full, free hot breakfast opens the morning with waffles, eggs, bacon, hot and cold cereals, pastries, yogurt, and Arabica coffee, fueling a day on the road or in the field. Beyond town, the Missouri River and the historic Fort Union Trading Post on the Montana-North Dakota border draw history buffs and anglers, with the badlands of the region a scenic drive away. Roll into an easy prairie base in Sidney, with the river, the history, and the open country all around.
