Great location for the east side of Glacier National Park. Rooms were surprisingly nice. The outside appearance of the hotel isn't super impressive, but you can't beat the overall value. Mark was a great host. I'd definitely stay there again.
If you are looking for a 5 star hotel experience, this isn't it . It's like stepping back in time, in a good way. It's an older hotel probably from the 50's, but very clean, bathroom updated, everything in the room works, from the TV any Wi-Fi to the plumbing and the hot water. The people who run it are like the nicest people in the world. There are not a lot of choices in East Glacier, I'm glad I chose this one ...it's everything I needed for sure .

My Amtrak train was due to arrive 5 hours late - 1 AM. I called and explained. They told me they'd text me the room number, leave it unlocked with key inside, and to just leave the door unlocked when my bus left before motel office opening. All went well - Thanks!!!

Next door neighbors arrived at 1120pm and made so much racket until after 115am, it was hard to settle down until they did. not sure what they were doing and I was not sure whether to call the police or the management. almost sounded like they might have been stealing furniture.
The outside of the motel looked sketchy, but after we spoke to the owners over at the training, post, who were very friendly, we walked back to our room, which was very clean and cozy, just a bit worn down. Overall, though we slept quite well.
Not particularly clean, trash from previous guest was left in the room, the carpet looks disgusting. The bed was comfortable.

Photos indicated rustic log cabin style. The room was very much not. Instead it was a simple drywall/paint; floor was warped and carpet. Compare to attached image.

Disliked: Amenities
Bed was comfortable. Carpet was dirty/worn. Expensive.
The bathroom was so small it was almost unusable. Your knees hit the wall when on the toilet.
I had to park on the street because they wasn't room for full size trucks to park without blocking others.
Cabin was adorable and comfortable, although the “office” was not located at the site…it was 2 blocks away at the General store. Parking was pretty cramped, but we made it work.
Staff were very friendly. The room was clean and it was nice h

I got Gina's name but not the guy that helped us too. They were both so sweet and personable and always willing to help. Now the room was small, bathtub in #10 was out of order but the bed was comfortable which helped us sleep really well. The train nor traffic bothered me and I sleep light. But overall staying there was pleasant and that small town vibe was lovely.
Nice room but, check in is 2 blocks away and they didn’t have my reservation in their system. Fridge broken, bad wifi, dangerous parking lot with deep gravel,
