The property is sort of quirky and is basically good but needs a little TLC and updating. It definitely has character and the staff were excellent, The breakfast is good value at $8 but is really only average in terms of quality. Good if you like hotels that are not cookie-cutter modern chains but it does feel a little in need fo some TLC

Breakfast restaurant needs more staff. Just one lady took care of all guests. She tried her best but just one person on the floor wasn't enough. I felt bad...

Never stayed at a haunted hotel before

My stay was interesting. Not bad, but interesting. It’s your typing inexpensive lodge and the staff were great, but I definitely got Stephen King vibes walking down the hall to my room. And then I looked up the lodge to see how old it was and to my surprise, it is haunted! In fact, well documented. But to my dismay, no, I didn't have any supernatural experiences.

A quiet gateway to a walkable town

This”no frills” hotel is a favorite place to stay. It’s close to unique downtown businesses and restaurants. I walk to good restaurants and even tried drinks at a distillery. This hotel does not have an elevator so be sure to get a first floor if you have restrictions on walking. Very good $8 breakfast at the adjoining restaurant.

This was one of the more affordable options in Billings at the time we booked! The retro building is very well kept!! The history behind it is so cool. Added bonus the beds were comfortable and the room was very clean! Highly recommend taking a step back in history with this stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful!
