It doesn't like like much from the outside but once you cross over the door way you enter in to another world. The food was good!, We were give permission to snoop and we were taken back on the rooms decor. They were excellently furnished in another era. They people there we very nice and answered questions we had and... More

I drive by this place a lot because I prefer Highway 30 to the Interstate. The Virginian author Owen Wister had a cabin across the street. When I stop I eat a very heavy breakfast - the omelets are huge as well as the lunches. The rooms are renovated in old west motif. Medicine Bow is a regular small town,... More

The front is nice; Flowers and antiques. I thought "This is going to be fun." No. I know it's old, but it smells so musty. The carpet is dirty. (I would rather it have the old wooden floors than dirty carpet). This would make a great place to tour, eat and maybe stay in their motel part, but someone needs... More

We visited the Virginian Hotel in Medicine Bow, Wyoming. It is located out in the middle of nowhere and with very few trees to buffer the constant dusty wind that is blowing constantly. The hyotel has three floors with a few rooms located on the main level but most of the rooms are on the second and third floors. The... More

Due to bad roads, my pre-teen son & I decided we either needed to stay here or go to Laramie. I do not regret the decision to stay at the Virginan. The staff was nice, food was good, my dog was welcomed, the rooms were clean & the price was decent. If you're looking for a 4 star modern hotel,... More

The rooms need some work. There is no aircon. Trains run every 15 minutes throughout the night. But that is Medicine Bow. You have to accept that if you want to stay in the town. The food in the restaurant is worth the wait. If it were any different, it wouldbn't be Medicine Bow.

The middle of nowhere; rooms for your choosing-some feel like a bordelo; walk around the town if you dare; we really loved it! The best places are the most unique. We got to pick our rooms; RR tracks across street so LOUD; food was good; can not beat this experience; our family still talks about it; looking for a chain... More

The hotel is full of rich history and memorabilia with pictures and antiques everywhere. The rooms and suites are decorated in themes from the old west and Victorian era. It would make a fantastic bed and breakfast if you changed the staff and kept out the locals. The staff was terrible. We were treated rudely. At first they said they... More

My family and I were vastly disappointed with The Virginian Hotel. We had been look forward to staying at The Virginian for months. We booked the Owen Wister suite and a room next to it. Fortunately, we saw the rooms prior to paying for them!!!! Most rooms do NOT have their own bathroom and they share a water closet. Knowing... More
