Room is ok, small. Dumpy and unkept on the outside. You have to walk a couple blocks down to check in. Terrible parking in front of the room. Roll around air conditioner in the room. Room was clean. They do give you a bag of ice at the store when checking in.

Run down looking from the outside although planters had been filled which improved the appearance. Limited parking on site. Was awoken in the night by a very loud bang and saw in the morning a van had ploughed into the back of a car (probably a guests) on the street outside causing considerable damage and was left in situ. Walls are thin. Couldn’t get to sleep due to a man next door constantly clearing his throat and also what sounded like gun shots nearby. Very long goods trains rumble through the town all night. Clean bedding but thin. Towels clean and thick but bathroom dirty, shower disgusting. Not been cleaned for a very long time. Body hair left behind and grime all along the seals and floor edges. I could wipe some of it away with just toilet paper so no excuse for not giving it a bleaching and a scrub. Room dusty too and we couldn’t get the tv to work. WiFi was ok.

Disappointed with the room.

I knew when I booked this that they were $$ less but the room was very small, and the bathroom was very small. There was no deadbolt lock - only the one on the doorknob that could have been easily broken into. I pushed my open suitcases in front of the door at night. The only positive on this stay was the friendliness of the towns people and the room was clean. There were only two pillows and they were very flat.

The bed was pretty comfortable. There is a smart TV, The linen are nice. That’s about the only thing good about this place. The carpet has been on the floor since at least 1970. The bathroom sink doesn’t drain. The shower floor is dirty. There was a clawfoot tub but it doesn’t work. The train track is just across the street and it. runs often even during the night.

loved my stay

I stayed in E Glacier to avoid the prices of Whitefish, and I’m so glad I did! Whistling Swan is clean, comfortable and calm. Good restaurants nearby, especially the Two Medicines Grill. It’s an Excellent departure point for Glacier and surrounding reservation. The Blackfeet are so friendly and welcoming. Don’t miss the Glacier tour with Mountainchief Taxi Co.

It is a nice enough place EXCEPT it has birds nesting in the wall, so it is VERY noisy when it is light outside, as early as 5:30 am and as late as 10:30 pm. This was a room with two queen beds. There are many birds and babies crying for food. They put a hole in the back of the wall maybe so they can fly out. But they need to work on removing them. Also there is no dead lock on the door. And there is a large space beneath the door so animals (like mice) can easily crawl in. And early in the morning (5:30 or 6) two motorcycles were leaving and while warming up all the fumes came in under the door. Bring ear plugs and a large towel to put in front of the door. Not sure what a visitor can do to secure the door given the lock they have.
