I've been staying here for years as it's close to the hospitals downtown where I frequently have meetings. Staff has always been friendly and the place is always clean. I really wouldn't want them to do to much to the place. The area is changing as a new bank has gone in next door and the library is also expanding,... More

August and broken down AC don't mix when the temps are in the 90's! The Dude Rancher looked like it was going to be a perfect fit for our trip to Montana.

I have stayed at the Dude Rancher Lodge several times now and have never had a complaint. I love the rustic "old west" decor, the beds are comforable, and they actually put tea bags in the rooms for those of us who don't drink coffee. They give a medical discount to anyone who has an appointment at the hospital or... More

Just spent three nights at the lodge and was highly impressed. I was in an refurbished room (213) and it was very clean and affordable. Excellent location downtown and the staff were helpful and friendly. Very comfortable bed and a good powerful shower as well. Just a minor gripe if I must just that the ac ventilation system was loud.... More

Nice staff and good location. A big plus for the free airport transport. My room was cosy and comfortable although a bit worn down. Restaurant had very nice and caring staff, but the menu is in need of more vegetables in general (I'm a vegetarian and it was hard to find anything to eat).

Cowboy up at the Dude Rancher Lodge. Loved the atmosphere. Their custom branded carpet is priceless. The location can't be beat, central down town Billings a short walk to resturants and attractions. Clean rooms at an affordable price what more could you ask for.
