This was a very cute, charming property. The rooms were very small and a bit outdated, but super clean, and convenient to that side of Glacier NP. The best thing was the owner while checking me in - he was super friendly, and had great advice on where to eat, and other services in East Glacier, he was the best!

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.

The checkin at the general store in town was smooth, they were able to hold my luggage before my room was ready and also after my stay when I was waiting for the train. The service was great, I came back each evening to a clean room. My room didn’t have AC, but it with the window open and a fan I was pretty comfortable.

The room was small, but the bathroom was really small. At 5'9" tall my knees just barely fit between the toilet and the shower wall, with the corner sink at my left elbow. Be sure to ask about the size of the bathroom if you're a taller person. The staff was fantastic and the room was very clean.

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.

The air conditioner was old and hardly worked while running it on 60 while night. The shower had mold and that alone ensures I wont be going back. The room had a rustic feeling to it and there isn’t much to talk about.

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.
