Comfort Inn Alton near I-255

8/10 Good

"Bring your own pillows there's are very flat and small"

McClusky Trail Guesthouse Convenient Access to Jerseyville, Grafton & Alton

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great property in which to stay at. First, the hosts were phenomenal and if we were going to arrive after dark, they were going to leave the light on for us. There are no negatives about this property. Location excellent within distance to St Louis and Chain of Rocks bridge. It was so clean, quiet and relaxing. We had the best nights sleep of our trip. They go above and beyond making this place great and comfortable for their guests. If you forgot anything, they are supplying it from snacks, toiletries and beyond. This place deserves 6 stars. It is pristine. If we have another trip in this area, we will be coming back. Thank you for all the considerations you give your guests."

Light Filled Loft on Town Square

10/10 Excellent

"Oh my word this place is incredible. Bed was comfortable great location and the original aspects of the old building brought up to date with modern convenience. I think Jennifer and I will be getting more acquainted because I have a hard time finding a decent place to stay when I come to my hometown to visit. Carlinville is good little town close to my hometown and made attending my best friends wedding in Gillespie a breeze. We will be back."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Medora?

The best area to stay in Medora is within the town itself, particularly near the Medora Community Center and the main street, which offers convenient access to local amenities.

Medora is a small, quiet town, and staying centrally means you're just a short walk from any local businesses or gathering spots. The Medora Community Center is a key reference point, often hosting local events. The layout is straightforward, with most establishments clustered along the main thoroughfare.

For families, staying in Medora provides a relaxed base for exploring the surrounding natural attractions.

When is the best time to go to Medora?

The best time to visit Medora is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to early June) and early fall (September to early October).

During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it comfortable for outdoor activities like exploring the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience at attractions and restaurants. The natural scenery is also particularly appealing, with wildflowers blooming in spring and vibrant foliage in the fall.

Couples often appreciate the tranquil environment during these times, great for scenic drives through the Badlands or enjoying a quiet evening at a local eatery. The milder temperatures are also ideal for longer hikes and wildlife viewing without the intense summer heat.

Solo travelers will find these seasons offer a good balance of activity and serenity.
