Not impressed but have been in worse

Property is quite old and has run down look in comparison to others in the area. Rate seemed high for the room that we had. Bathroom was tiny and actually quite funny when we saw it. But wife and I are not overly particular and made due since it was just a one nighter and we just needed a bed and shower which were decent enough.

Pretty Good Spot

We were housed in the old office and had lots of room. It was toward the street and a little louder but the space was nice. No air conditioning made for a warm night. The microwave and fridge were nice to have.

There was only one plug socket with 7 possible appliances to use it. It felt unsafe to have all the wiring joined together to enable their use. Parallel parking didn't solve the issue of too little space. It meant someone's vehicle gets blocked in. Overall bathroom space was very limited.

It’s a motel, so expect basic. The store for check-in is close to the Amtrak station and before you get to the motel anyway. WiFi worked some of the time, which for that area, is pretty good! I didn’t get much Verizon reception. Tiny shower in a tiny bathroom. I don’t think there was an AC unit, but there was a fan. There are 1 or 2 steps to get into the unit, which was manageable with my mobility disabilities. Some areas of the room were dusty/had cobwebs, but for a one night stay, not bad. The best part—I had 2 suitcases and not only did they store them for me while I was on a Glacier Park tour, but Mark kindly had my luggage driven to the store so I wouldn’t have to lug it down 2 blocks in the early morning!!! I can’t thank Mark enough!!!

Old and worn

Poorly furnished. For the "computer" table there was a fold out chair - not comfortable. Large gap under door - had to stuff a towel across door to keep "critters" out. Housekeeping knocking on door to see if we were still in room, told them we weren't leaving until next day. They waited for us to leave and then came into the room to make the beds and change out towels. We DID NOT like anyone coming in without our consent as all of our belonging were in the room. Parking was atrocious. Fortunately, we were able to back in from the street and into a space next to a snow trac machine. The room just looked old and worn. Thankfully we were only there for two nights. The BEST thing about our stay was breakfast at Two Medicine Grill. EXCELLENT food and very friendly staff. They get 5 stars.

Very good location right outside of the park. Staff at the store where you pick up the key was very nice and helpful and gave us a bag of ice. Property is very old and noisy because it is right near the road and railroad tracks. Carpet is in very bad condition and needs replacing. Bathroom was clean and had basic needs. Bed fine. No ac, but they had a fan.

All was fine. Note on front to go 2 blocks to store to check in. No big deal and they were very friendly. Small room, but cozy and even an old fashioned TV that worked great. Came to East Glacier to spend some time at an event back to the west about 10 miles,and this was the closest place to stay It all worked out and we had an awesome meal at Serranos just down the street.
