Fodor's Expert Review Dude Rancher Lodge

415 N. 29th St., Billings, Montana, 59101, USA

Featured on Hotel Impossible in 2012, this downtown institution has come a long way from the dump it once was. However, a Western theme still pervades right down to the lantern-style light fixtures, wood paneling, and custom-made carpet "branded" with the symbols of area ranches. The hotel has one suite with a full kitchen, and Rooms 226 and 227 are known for their ghost activity. An on-site restaurant serves breakfast and lunch.

PROS

  • within easy walking distance of attractions and restaurants

  • guests can have any breakfast on the menu for $5

CONS

  • rooms and baths are on the small side
  • you'll love or hate the brightly colored bathroom vanities
