Northern Hotel

A very comfortable room, quiet; well decorated lobby area for holiday with upscale chairs and fireplace; a warm reception; newspapers to read; lovely bar/restaurant with good food; and connected to excellent breakfast spot - all right downtown with valet if needed

I returned to The Northern Hotel for Thanksgiving week this year and was very happy I chose this splurge. The front desk showed me a couple rooms on the highest floor and I chose room 1004. The evening lighting in my room was lovely and the morning views outside the large south and east facing windows were incredible. I hung out at the Ten bar two evenings and got excellent craft cocktails from the talented mixologist. Other times I went to the great coffee shops and restaurants a short walk away from the Northern. There were a couple small service glitches but the beds are still super comfortable, the room cleaners did an excellent job, and the parking valets were very convenient. They are not the cheapest but The Northern is clearly the best hotel in Billings. I am very happy about my stay. I'll be back.

Staff not super friendly. Standard 2-queen very small. No room in bathroom to put toiletries. TV on wall is a hazard for hitting your head. Huge vase of Flowers in the lobby were dead - not very welcoming We were not offered a complimentary drink as promised The good? Location Clean towels and sheets Bed was firm but comfortable Lobby coffee was good Free valet and parking

We found this historic Hotel customer lovingvftim the first step. Valet folks welcomed us with complimentary valet, opened doors, helped with our luggage. Check in was a breeze, friendly and helpful. The rooms are really nice, could use desk chair update, and second chair update. Maintenance was there in moments ti fix a small item. Housekeeping was the best I've seen in many years. Highly recommend.

We were passing through from Yellowstone to Wyoming, and stayed one night. And a pleasant night it was. ROOMS: We were in a 5th floor room in the north corner, probably an odd layout being in the corner like that, but it was appointed very nicely, and quite comfortable. Shower had excellent pressure. Only minor quibbles were that the safe in the close was on an upper shelf, perfect for its open door to whack your head, and one side of the bed at the head was about five feet from the bathroom, making it not very private. 1st Avenue, unfortunately, is a pretty noisy street at night and early morning, and the A/C units behind the hotel made an audible hum in the room. But, again, we were very comfortable, and would willingly have stayed longer if we'd needed to. SERVICE: Both the desk staff and the valets were top-notch, friendly and helpful. AMENITIES: The hotel sports two restaurants: Bernie's Diner (breakfast and lunch), which was excellent, and TEN (bar and dinner) which was very good (and pricey). LOCATION: The hotel is in downtown Billings, so a bit of a drive from the interstate. The neighborhood is okay, not great. NET-NET: I'd certainly stay there again if I were passing through or visiting Billings. It's not cheap, but it was a nice stay.
