If you know anyone who wants to visit Bismarck, they'll be happy to know they can do so rather cheaply.

According to a survey from ChicagoHotels.org, which looked at the most expensive destinations in the midwest, Bismarck fell at the lower end of the spectrum.

The rankings were based on all cities in the midwest with populations of at least 250,000 while also including other "notable cities" that have populations of at least 100,000. Bismarck falls into that latter category.
