I stayed for 1 night at Dude Rancher Lodge; it's a clean hotel very close to the airport at reasonable cost. I mainly used it as a stopover for flying out of Billings and will stay again if an opportunity arises. More

So many reviewers of Billings hotels complain about the noise from the highway and the trains. If that's a concern, then this downtown hotel is a good alternative. Our room was on the main floor, right next to the office. There was a wee bit of noise from conversations outside, and we could hear people walking up the stairs. It... More

The Dude is a simple and decent hotel/motel. The staff is very friendly, free WiFi and cable in room. No fridge or microwave but small coffee maker is included. No frills and appropriately priced. More

My wife and I stayed here while visiting a friend in Billings. The downtown location was great,and it was just over half the price of the top rated hotels in town. Room was adequate for our needs,and we slept well in the bed. I thought the coffee in the lobby was very good,contrary to some other reviews. We made some... More

The room was fine, a little dull but o.k. Good location to downtown restaurants etc. The breakfast at their restaurant was so, so. Not many healthy choices. The coffee was very weak!! Coffee needs to be upgraded as this is a very important factor for many travelers. More

I stayed here with my husband and two children on our last night of vacation before we flew out. The location was great. The price was fantastic. The staff was helpful about restaurants and also when I asked to change rooms. The rooms were OK. I changed rooms because it had a jacuzzi tub with jets that were very moldy... More

Thank you so much for taking time to post this review. And a BIG thank you for listing your room numbers so that we could personally inspect your rooms. We have given a copy of this to our housekeeping department (regarding the jets and the stain on the spread). You're right, it was an old stain that did not come... More

We booked this hotel based on western theme, price, and mixed but mostly favourable reviews on Trip Advisor and that the manager had responded to a few comments on Trip Advisor. It was quaint, the western theme was awesome and the lobby looked inviting but that was where it ended. The front desk staff that checked us in wasn't as... More

You had some issues that were totally unacceptable. We should... More

We were only here for one night after a week in Montana. We picked the Dude Rancher Lodge for it's affordable price and proximity to the airport (we had a 6am flight). We were please with it on both accounts. It is an older lodge, but it's got lots of character. More
