We loved the kitschy decor! While the motel is older, we enjoyed our 1 night stay. Everything worked in our rooms (my parents stayed in a separate room), our beds were pretty comfortable, there were toiletries and coffee setup in our rooms, and the desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. The age of the motel can be seen in things like cracked caulking around the old air conditioning unit and worn exterior walls but this didn't detract from the charm of the place. We did NOT (thankfully) see any strange activity. Overall, we were glad that we chose to stay there. Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything that we needed.

Ron, sorry for the confusion since we are a historic hotel some of our plug-ins are connected to the light switches. Since it was warm we had the air conditioning on. Unfortunately, we can only run heat or air but not both.

Great experience we love staying here when we come to Billings for a show. Close enough to downtown to walk but quiet and unique. Love the old herringbone wallpaper.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. The only downside was the there is no ac in the room and the boiler was on so it was extremely hot in the room luckily we able to turn off the blower fan and open the window to cool the room.

Liked the location, walking distance to downtown. However, the lodge is old and in bad need of updating. holes in walls, dirt caked non-working bathroom fan, worn spots/stains on toilet seat, mildew and bad stain on sink and caulking, mildew/dirt around window sill, stinky old carpet. The bedding seemed to be pretty fresh and clean but we didn't want to walk around the room in bare feet.

We always stay here because it's old fashioned Montana, plus a good value. It's not a decadent stay, so if that's what you're looking for, this isn't it. But it's kinda cool and retro and laid back....we bring our doggies and they are happy.

I had to listen to my neighbors talk into the early hours. No one on duty to get them to stop. Just when they would stop and i would think finally, they would start again. Transients and homeless everywhere afraid to walk my dog.
