Walls and overall room are not very sound proof. People above us stomping around and loud at 4am. People walking outside our room at 4am very loud. Someone knocked on our door at 11pm, but were not there when we got up to look. Bed was very uncomfortable and noisy when moving around- felt like cardboard under us and almost bounced you out of the bed when turning over. Mostly clean room, needed vacuumed better. Clean linens and bedding. Pillows were fairly comfortable. Parking close to your room is a nightmare- not enough space. I feel $100 a night is too much to ask for such an old establishment without a decent bed. I can look past other things, since noise is not the hotel's fault, but not being able to sleep and waking up stiff because the bed is bad, is not acceptable for the amount. Id rather pay $50 more to stay at an updated place.

Wonderful way to visit Billings. Very comfortable, clean, hospitable and welcoming. It is a reminder that chain hotels lack uniqueness, friendly staff and genuine kindness. Loved my stay.

It’s definitely an old hotel! Restroom is decent but the hotel needs a lot of upgrades. If they are wanting to keep it the way it is because they want it to look authentic then ok but at least upgrade the mattresses.

I loved the place, charming, until I had an "appearance" while sleeping. It was probably a dream, but it felt so real, even my dog got uncomfortable after I jumped out of my bed and ran to my husband's bed. It was a young girl with long hair and long pajamas. Other than that, it was a charming...if you're afraid of ghosts, don't stay here.

I like that the Dude Rancher is always clean and taken care of. Great cheap breakfast. It's close to walk to many things downtown, like restaurants, coffee shops, library and boutiques.
