Whats not to love about a well-preserved, iconic facility! It may have seen better days, but it was a fun stay. The staff at breakfast were amazingly accommodating. Would definitely stay again...for the experience.

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!

I booked this property because of the excelent reviews. I was quite disappointed. The property has not been kept up. The bathroom at one time had been painted over wallpaper by someone who didn't know how to paint and since then has been banged up. Rustic ambiance does not replace regular maintenance.

The staff was EXTRAordinary! I had a medical emergency while I was staying here that required an ambulance. The front clerk actually offered to watch my Shi’tzu for me, so I had one less worry. Never in a million years would I expect something that kind from any hotel stay. BRAVO👍👍👍👍👍

Neat theme but kind of sketchy!

There seemed to be a significant homeless or transient population that hovered around the property by day and walked through the courtyard creating lots of noise throughout the night. There was hair in the shower and the sheets. After a long day of driving, we brushed off what we could from the sheets and tried to sleep. But the overnight noise was disruptive and the air conditioner clanged loudly throughout the visit.

A mix of good and bad

The breakfast was wonderful and worth the $8 we paid. We appreciated the improvements that this lodge has made, but still has a ways to go. The bathrooms have been remodeled and the bed was comfortable, but there is poor lighting in the room. The air conditioner and basic room interior looked run down. Also, the location of the lodge seems a bit shady. In conclusion, it is cool that it is listed as a historical place, but more improvements will need to be done.
