Talked to multiple of the staff members on the day of check in to make sure we would have a room just to be turned away once we arrived. If they were over booked they should reach out to the customer.

Didnt really have any issues, it was raining and both windows leaked which made the floor around the window wet but that didnt bother us much. The staff was very nice. Breakfast options could be better. The ac in our room couldnt keep up and i over heard several others say theirs wasnt working at all.. the only true issue we had personally was the shower.. not the shower its self but who ever the cleaner is didnt take the time to clean the drain so there was a TON of pubic hair in the drain plug... quite disgusting

NEVER AGAIN! (BEWARE to those who NEED "AC-Cold!")

1.5 out of 5 stars – Disappointed and Uncomfortable Stay My wife and I booked a night at Montana Trailhead Inn in Billings, MT so we could be rested for two very important medical appointments the next day. Unfortunately, this stay left us exhausted and frustrated, and we won’t be returning. We both suffer from medical conditions that make it crucial for us to stay cool, especially at night. The room’s air conditioning was built into the vent system, and it simply did not function properly. Despite paying close to $100 (using Hotels.com points to help offset the higher cost), we were unable to rest well due to the temperature being above 80°F in the room, with no window to open or any decent airflow. When we politely asked the front desk to move us, the hostess assured us the new room’s AC worked well. It did run but did not actually cool the room—something she seemed to misunderstand. That second room was nearly 10 degrees warmer than the first. Thankfully, we had brought a box fan just in case, but it was not enough to offset the heat. We ended up returning to our original room, but when my wife called the front desk to explain, the hostess became visibly frustrated and actually hung up on us. We were patient and kind throughout this process, but the response we received was disheartening. To top it all off, the bed was less comfortable than the room’s floor. We’ve traveled a lot and are very understanding people, but this was not okay—especially when our health wasn't.

Travelling through the area, booked in advance to make sure we had a spot. Showed up to check in and they had no rooms. They claimed it was expedia's fault but after we managed to scramble and get another hotel the people at the check in desk have heard that story about Trailhead before. Careful when you book this place, they might just give your room away to a higher paying customer.
