The property is older so some things like the air conditioning and the bathroom fan were pretty noisy. But the staff was wonderful and the place was clean. My bed was comfortable and the price was good. I actually came back to spend the night as my flight was canceled.

This is a great deal for basic sleeping accommodations in Billings. Is it luxurious and opulent? No. But that is the point, it is basic and nice enough, and half the price of the bigger chain hotels. Pretty good breakfast available for $8 per person.

Very quaint space in the middle of more modern places. Parking lot was empty..kinda sketchy at first. But google maps brought us to the wrong side. They apparently had a restaurant which is closed. The parki g is like an interior courtyard. The room was more like a lodge in the moutains than the big ciry, beds were comfortable. The bathroom made us laugh with its blood red sink! Everything was well maintained and rooms smelled fresh. Def recommend for more moderately priced room.
