Had a little glitch with some things but the staff were on top of it and relayed my concerns immediately to the Owner whom called me personally and left me a detailed voicemail with his apologies and he made it right. He said exactly everything right and handled the situation right away to my complete satisfaction!
~ Hats off to you sir!!! ~ I appreciate your kindness! We will Definitely be back!
This location is over 80 years old and super cute themed! Even the Keys are real and Metal and not a random key card! The name fits it's personality.
I love the personal touches right down to the note cards you leave for us to help you with repairs... \"Bunkhouse Bob will fix it all!\" Love that! Made me felt heard!
---> And I was! <--- You guys are great! This is why you are still open after 80+ years! Keep up the great work! Your staff is great too! I will be back someday!

This property was at one time a western novelty; however, that time has clearly passed. Everything about the property is shop-worn and beyond being charming. The location is convenient to nice eateries and very walkable. If he owner want to capitalize on the legacy of the old west, the should take a critical look at this property and make much needed improvements.

At check in, we were assigned a room on the second floor. The property does not have elevators, and my wife has difficulty with stairs. The lady at check-in was so accommodating - she made some moves and got us a room on the first floor.

The room had a recent upgrade to the bathroom, and though small, was very nice. The rest of the room was small, and like most older properties, didn't have all the outlets we have come to expect during our travels. Good value for the price, however.

This was my third stay at the Dude Rancher Lodge. The rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. There isn’t a complementary breakfast, but guests pay only $8 at the front desk for the Stirrup Café next door for a full breakfast that typically costs $16. I love the cowboy motif, and the sitting area by the fireplace is a lovely place for guests to congregate.

As ex-Montanans, we love to return and stay at the Dude Rancher. It has alway been and remains a solid choice in Billings. Not a chain, it has personality in all the best ways: decor, vibe and western style. It is also everything you want anywhere - clean, quiet and comfortable. Great bed and shower, plenty of plugs, working ice machine and internet, and one of my favorites - windows that open for fresh Montana air.

There was a strong smell of marijuana in the hotel lobby and in my room. Once I turned the AC off, it seemed to be better.
The room was dead bolted from the outside and I wasn’t told that I needed to go through the hallway first in order to be able to access the room from the courtyard.
The hotel is very outdated but clean. It kind of adds to the “charm” in a way but some people might not like that.

We were in town for a concert at the Billings Skate Park. The walk was easy from the hotel. We only stayed one night. My only complaint is the outlets in the room would not charge our electronics. We tried multiple chargers in all wall outlets. The only place we could get them to work is in the bathroom. We stayed in room 218. The common area and restaurant were uncomfortable places to pass time while my family slept in. I would stay there again.

The rooms are also extremely clean, quaint, and easy to access. Others staying down the street at a big name chain hotel were complaining nonstop about the smell and service, but not at the Dude Rancher! Only criticism I have.....I'm 6'3\" and the shower head was at my chin so it was a bit tricky to shower and not splash water everywhere.

We drove up to the Lodge and decided not to enter. There were two broken down vehicles in the lot and a couple of people blaring music as they loaded or unloaded their vehicle. There were people around on the sidewalks nearby loitering. I was traveling with my octogenarian mother and we decided not to go in. It was very fallen-apart from the outside and the location felt unsafe. I wouldn’t want to park my car unattended in the lot. It may have been great inside. I can’t speak to the rooms or staff.

Overall if you are looking for a quiet, downtown location and are not fussy about amenities or accomodations, Dude Ranch Lodger fits the bill. This motel fit my needs for a 2 night stay but I will not stay there again. The facilities are getting run down, the rooms including bathrooms are very small, dusty and getting old. I traveled with pets and there is no where to walk the dogs or potty them. Parking is fine for SUV/smaller cars in the court yard otherwise, big rigs/trucks/towning have to park adjucant to the motel. I did not eat breakfast at the restaurant but it looked quiant and well kept.
