Nice place, about 30 miles to either East or West Glacier. The rooms are comfy, clean and remodeled but they don’t have a mini fridge or microwave. I’d go there again and would recommend.

Air conditioner was very loud. Friend said futon bed was uncomfortable; support slats poked through the three inch mattress. Shower looked like it had not been cleaned well in quite some time. WiFi was terrible and didn’t work most of the time. Good food at Izaak Walton Inn but limited (none) vegetarian options. Huckleberry pie was great. Safe area. Easy parking.

Property is located a short drive from the west entrance to GNP. Wifi is basically useless but rooms are very clean, yet on the small side. Not many options close for food. Bring food and drinks with you. Staff is located a mile away. Not a bad place, just be aware of limitations once you are there. I would, however, stay again if necessary.

You get what you pay for

This was an inexpensive place to stay at, considering the prices in the area, but it still was disappointing. 1. The room was tiny without even a table! 2. We stayed for 5 nights, but they would not vacuum the room even, despite us asking for it - they put it on a maintenance list, but it never got done. 3. The Wi-Fi connection was strong, but the speed was too slow to be useable. We had to go a mile away, to the Izaac Walton Inn which manages the property, in order to get a decent Wi-Fi connection. 4. The location is conveniently close to a highway, but also close to the railway lines, so you could get disturbed by the sounds of trains going by. This is not a complaint about the property, but is good to keep in mind.

Good hotel 😄worth the price.

The small hotel is cute. I enjoy to stay there but it take about 1 hr or more to go the west Glacier national park. The train didn’t brother me at all.

Not so great

Disappointed in that the only restaurant in the area was very pricey with not so great service. The motel room was clean but was the tiniest room I’ve ever stayed in. Was glad we only stayed one night as we couldn’t have managed more than that. No phone service which was to be expected but wi-if didn’t work either. No grocery stores, no stores if any kind in the area.

Ear plugs is a MUST

A freight train ran by the hotel, blew its whistle every 20 minutes or so ALL NIGHT LONG. Difficult to get any sleep unless you have ear plugs or you're a very deep sleeper. Horrible location due to it being so close to the railroad.

The accommodations were comfortable and adequate. Good location although the train seemed to run every hour on the hour overnight and blew its whistle as it passed. Wear earplugs. Internet was sub-optimal. Internet is very important to travel today and should be upgraded to accommodate. The hotel was overwhelmed by a wedding in the Isaac Walton inn happening at the same time. My room was never cleaned during my stay and there were no towels when I checked in.
