A short drive that makes a big difference
If your next trip takes you to Billings—whether it’s for business, a flight, or a weekend adventure—you might be surprised to find that one of the best places to stay isn’t in the city at all. It’s just 45 minutes north in Roundup, Montana. Here’s why travelers keep choosing Big Sky Motel as their Billings home base.
1. Easy Drive, No City Stress
Roundup sits an easy 50-minute drive from downtown Billings. That short stretch of Highway 87 takes you through open prairie and big skies instead of traffic lights and parking garages. Many guests work in Billings by day and return here at night for peace, quiet, and easy parking right outside their door.
2. Quiet Nights and Clear Skies
After a long day in the city, Roundup gives you space to breathe. You’ll trade highway noise for the sound of wind through cottonwoods and stars bright enough to make you pause. Big Sky Motel is a favorite for travelers who want restful sleep and a slower pace without being far from Billings.
3. Friendly and Familiar
Roundup still has that small-town feeling. You’ll be greeted by name, not a check-in kiosk. Local restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee spots are all within walking distance of the motel. Whether you’re here for one night or a full week, it feels like staying with friends instead of fighting through hotel chains.
4. Affordable and Independent
You don’t pay for downtown rates or resort fees here. Big Sky Motel is family-run, simple, and straightforward—everything you need, nothing you don’t. Every room has strong Wi-Fi, a mini-fridge, microwave, and parking right outside the door. Perfect for business travelers, contractors, or anyone looking to stretch their budget without sacrificing comfort.
5. Adventure at Your Doorstep
If your trip to Billings includes exploring the region, Roundup is the perfect launch point. You’re minutes from trailheads, fishing spots, ghost towns, and scenic drives through Musselshell Country. Spend your workdays in the city, then use your evenings to explore the real Montana—the one with gravel roads, friendly faces, and no crowds.
6. Pet-Friendly and Prairie-Perfect
Traveling with a dog? Big Sky Motel is dog-friendly, and Roundup’s wide-open spaces are made for walk breaks and sunset strolls.
For travelers headed to Billings, Roundup offers a balance that’s hard to beat—close enough for convenience, far enough for calm. Book your stay at Big Sky Motel and experience what it feels like to end your workday under a wide Montana sky instead of a fluorescent one.
