Great location and great staff. Probably could use some upgrades and a few more amenities in room (trash cans, Kleenex, updated USB chargers) but was a quiet, lovely property, with free walking and able to walk to town.
We enjoyed our stay. King size bed was comfortable, room was clean and quiet, and hotel was near the main area of whitefish. Close to Glacier National park too.
Breakfast was included and they had bear spray available for us to borrow, so check before you buy or rent your own.
Pleasant experience all around.
The location was beautiful. The lodge was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and very well planned out. The room was amazing and the staff very friendly.
One of the most enjoyable stays I have ever had in a “hotel” atmosphere we were in the area to pick up a new puppy and our host even came and brought us some old towels in case of puppy accidents. In the morning there was a nice continental breakfast with a fire going in the lobby. The location of this place coupled with the view and the welcoming atmosphere made this a 10/10 for us, I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
It was great that they let us borrow some Bear spray, so we didn’t have to buy any, just returned it when we were done and didn’t see any bears in Glacier National Park!
Room was nice and clean. Didn't know was keyless entry and you get a code. We got it with small glitch ( onnour part)and phone call. Checkm8n was alittle confusing as asked if another person staying with me. When I my adult child changed reservations to them. Text stated that only one charge to me know under my child now. So will double check my credit card.
Other wise place was clean and comfortable.
Didn't know the entry was digital only until we got there. Had to wait for a code to be sent via email to get in the fent door and room. Charged an extra $35 for early check in. Not a ton of parking available. Easy to find and pretty spot right on the river - kids saw a doe and two fans in the evening. Went out for a while and door code did not work on our return - had to call and get a new one and then had to call again as code didn't work on room door. Seems there are some issues to be worked out with the digital entry. Breakfast was ok - cereal, toast, oatmeal, muffins and fruit. Would have liked more options for the price. Room was the Belton with an extra bedroom. Bathroom was nice sized. Easy drive to Glacier from the Inn and conveniences like gas, grocery and restaurants are close by.
The best was communication. I have received information from the property several times before arrival and got my questions answered right away. The worst was the dirty carpet in the room. It was just very dirty and old too. I would have rated it higher if not for that. There is no laundry on site.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We had no hot water the first day of our stay and limited hot water the second day. The room was very dark. Bathroom light bulbs were burnt out. The bed was so noisy you didn’t want to move. The pillows were like half full bags of cotton balls. The carpet was stained/dirty I had to wear my shoes the whole time in the room. The last night the door frame broke and the door popped free. Not a pleasant stay for the price.
Very old-fashioned place. Room is very outdated. The lighting is VERY dim and poor in the room. Cobwebs on the patio railings. Wifi was spotty. Breakfast was just ok. Bagels, granola, yogurt, fruits, hard-boiled eggs. On the plus side, the staff were helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
My family and I had stayed at this property many times over the years but after this recent stay I do see the negative change since the ownership flip. It's an older property that hasn't been kept up as it used to be, and everything is automated. The staff was responsive to questions via message, but for the amount you pay, the charm it once had isn't there or worth it anymore.
Stayed three nights. Breakfast is very good. Room was good but not exceptional. Needs for minor repairs and cleaning in our room and breakfast area. Wonderfully convenient to everything and a good stay overall
