The room was nice and spacious. The king bed was a pillow top and very comfortable to sleep on. The parking is challenge to in and out of when all the rooms are filled. If it's been in my truck, I would have had to park down the street.
It was a perfectly adequate, clean motel. WiFi worked but could use range extenders for better coverage. our room had a cute classroom theme with a chalkboard, abacus, and globe. can't beat the location, price was competitive with local basic hotels. my group had been camping for some time so having nice hot showers was deeply welcome they do book through Airbnb, which sketched me out a little, but it was perfectly legit. would stay again!
This place was perfect to stay at and explore the Glacier National Park. Very clean and easy to find with plenty of parking. They only take reservations through Airbnb and give you a code for your room. Hope to be able to stay here again in the future!!
Best friend and I came up for the weekend. He got the motel from an Airbnb site. The price was great for being where they are located near a National Park. Rooms were very clean, no smell of smoke or anything, showers were great and the staff we met were very friendly. Highly recommend this motel.
Currently staying here at the motel, while it's an older motel the rooms are clean and tidy! The bed is comfortable rooms have air conditioning. We did have issues with parking as a few of the guests had double parked but that's no fault of the motel itself. Compared to the prices of other hotels in the area you won't beat the price point. If needed we would stay here again.
After traveling through GNP this was a clean and comfortable place to stay. The host was super responsive when we booked our room as we needed 2 beds. Room #11 had 2 beds separated by a wall with a tv in each. 1 single bathroom. Our room and bathroom were very clean and the beds were comfortable. Great value if you're looking for a comfortable room for a night!
We arrived late (after 9:30 p.m.) and Aurora helped make checking in (over the phone) super simple. The room was amazing, outstanding bedding and towels. This little gem is WAY underrated! pro tip - there were no USB outlets for device charging... used the USB on the back of the television!
Location like advertised, a 20min drive to GNP. Service was smooth, room service is very prompt. Rooms are clean. I didn’t get a chance to use refrigerator or TV but they do exist in the room. I booked a room with 4 beds, 2 twins and a queen. Parking is plenty.
This rustic, family-run motel set near Flathead River is 16.7 miles from the entrance to Glacier National Park and 17 miles from skiing at Whitefish Mountain Resort.
