"Great place for kids "

"The breakfast was fresh "

"Clean& quiet on a Sunday night during a little snow storm. Good rate too. Close to the highway too."

"This place was like stepping back in time a few decades. It is an older, western themed building that remains right in the middle of downtown Billings. The parking was right outside the door to the room and was safe and secure in a parking courtyard. There is a restaurant on the premises that serves made to order breakfast and coffee starting at 6:00 am which is perfect for someone traveling. This place is a good value. Your stay at The Dude Rancher puts you smack dab in the middle of a walkable downtown filled with great restaurant choices and other retail amenities. The parking is easy and secure, the rooms although dated, are very adequate. I would stay here again in a heartbeat."

"Yes and it's a nice kitchenette suite. I love the free washers and dryers. "

"When you put yourself out there as a high end hotel, an established mainstay and icon of the local history one expects a bit more when staying here. As a matter of fact my wife stayed here about 18 months prior and had a great experience. However, there was nothing truly remarkable about our stay and as a note, there were things that occurred here that didn't happen at a much lower rated place two years ago on my last visit. 4 day stay - no vacuum, empty coffee cups left on tables, bathroom toilet not cleaned among many of the quirks. No "How was your stay?" upon check out and no assistance with luggage upon check out and valet. It was almost as if it didn't matter and they couldn't be bothered. Not to say that there were not individual successes such as the young man at Bernie's who tended to our breakfast and a nice bartender and waitress at TEN while we enjoyed a late night snack, but, this is expected. I am not saying it was horrible. Nice bed, easy in and out. But no wow factor, no bang for the buck and certainty no long lasting impression that says "WOW - I got to stay here again!". A legacy of luxury since 1902... Your resting on your laurels."

"Lovely"

"All the facilities were great. The restaurant, bar was very nice. Food service and quality was excellent. I do wish they served breakfast there. "
