Great access to glacier national Park. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Only downside was the room by the street is very close to the train which you can hear running through the night.

Property was clean and ready for us. It was pretty quiet, with the exception of the random train passing through now and then. You couldn’t really hear it from our room though. It was just what we needed as a home base for the weekend.

Very very old and small rooms. It’s a motel that probably dates from the 1940s. No toiletries. Clean enough but not spotless. Pay more and find a better choice. Owner who runs the nearby Trading Post was nice, but that’s it.

The rooms were cleverly laid out with adjoining rooms by way of the kitchen. It was a tight fit, but dinning area did accommodate our family of four. The smoke detector was extra sensitive and a lot of the cooking utensils were absent, which had I not come prepared with my own I would have had a difficult time. An oven with nothing to bake in, is of no use.

We needed a room for just one night and the staff were very friendly. The room was pretty clean with the exception of a water bottle near the bed and an empty toilet paper roll and used dental floss left on the floor under the bathroom sink. I have long legs and was unable to sit straight forward on the toilet because the toilet is too close to the shower wall. There is a coffee pot, coffee, cups, microwave, mini fridge and fan in the room. The bed wasn’t bad but the mattress felt as though it sunk in the middle. All in all, it was a decent place.

No one was at the office to check us in. The note on the door said to go two blocks down the street to the grocery store or trailer park. We did not get a good feeling about the location so we drove another 2 hours and found a different hotel.
