I have to remember that this was an Econo Lodge. I normally don't stay at budget properties, but Billings is somewhat expensive, so I took at chance. First, I learned that the same owner owns The Howard Johnson's, Sleep Inn, and recently purchased the Comfort Inn. I have noticed both from reviews and my personal experience that this owner likes...

I saw a majority of positive comments for this hotel, and went ahead and stayed. Mistake! The staff was rude, untrained, and clueless. Housekeeping didn't even bother to hit our room 1 of the 4 days we were there for which we were met with excuses - we had to take out our own trash and go hunting for trash... More

Front desk polite, helpful and courteous! Room is nasty, smelly, dark and dank. Stains on carpet, mattress and horrific dingy sheets! Parking free, wifi free, cont. breakfast free. Location not bad. Called choicehotels and booked this dump for 80 when I should have gone sleep inn or hampton! Oh well! More

When we asked to refund our money they refused even though we hadn't even been there 10 minutes!! Looking back now I believe that the owners and the rest of the... More
