I posted this on the UJ BBS, but thought I'd post this here as well.
Hi, perhaps I can help a bit. I do a lot of my bird hunting at my friends ranch, which just so happens to be 7 miles from Center. Center is a small town with no motels/hotels and I don't know of any other rental. The bar is called Wolfies (Lone Wolf) and there is a gas station that doubles as a store. There is also 1 cafe, which has odd hours. To be honest not much there for out of town folks. Your best bet is getting a room in either Mandan or Bismarck. Your only about 35 miles from Center. There are a quite a few motels that allow dogs. You should be able to find a room easy.
As a side note, my son was up there today working cows at the ranch. Good area and overlooked compared to other parts of the state.
Hope this helped some.
Good Luck!
Greg
