What a fantastic find! Built in 1949, during one of the "peaks" in Billings' colorful history, this place feels like a visit to a bygone era. With one of the most comfortable beds ever, great Montana hospitality, and an on-site restaurant that makes everything from scratch, you cannot go wrong here! more

we pulled into Billings about 2am and I had had a bad feeling all day because of the terrible reviews I'd read here- lemme tell you, we were VERY pleasantly surprised when we got there. it's VERY themed- way overdone Western, but that's part of the charm. no, it's not brand new, but it's clean and comfy, and the staff... more

The Dude Rancher is an old, dated motel. It's great location - you can pretty much walk to anyplace worth walking to in downtown Billings - and good price outweigh any negatives. I stayed there three nights, and while the room wasn't immaculate, the bed was comfortable and the room clean. The people at the desk are friendly, and the... more

Billings is a very poor city and is full of drugs and homeless people, everyone would be better to stay at a larger chain with security and higher standards. Room was filthy and smelly, housekeeping was rude and lazy. Could not step out side the room to smoke or stroll around without constantly being asked for money and cigarettes, hotel... more

I read the reviews actually on our way to Montana, and though they were not very good my husband and I took a chance, because of the convient downtown location. I was very surprised when we checked in. The manager was very polite and helpful. we were treated wonderfully. The decor of the rooms is western and the furniture is... more

We stayed there on a Sunday/Monday at the beginning of our vacation, with no problems--the motel was old, but we thought cute. And the restaurant was good for breakfast. So, after vacationing at Yellowstone, we went there again Friday to fly out of Billings Saturday morning. The whole place stunk of cigarettes from the extended stay guests who were hanging... more

This property is the worst I have seen, I agree with sleep in your car, the hotel room was filthy, cobwebs on walls and ceilings, bedding was filthy, the air did not work, and they ran out of towels and were unconcerned. We requested that housekeeping (I'll use the term loosley) vaccuum and they ran across one spot and never... more

My stay at this hotel was by necessity rather than choice. We'd driven 14 hours that day and Billings was the first real "city" we'd come across in hours, and we were desperate for sleep. The town has dozens of hotels, but strangely, all were booked up on a Tuesday night. A very nice woman at another hotel checked her... more

May have been great at some time in the past but has serious problems now. Had confirmed reservations and arrived too late and tired to look elsewhere so stayed but shouldn't have. Dirty carpets, TV that was at least 20 years old and on it's last gasp, very uncomfortable mattress, very tired/ragged/stratched decor and I must'nt forget a broken lock... more
