The hotel is in the woods and is very quiet. The decor is charming, the beds very comfortable, and the towels thick and soft. Sadly, I had a hiking accident and spent most of my time in the ER so did not get to enjoy the hotel as much as I would have liked. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The lodge is in a great location just outside the park. It is tucked away in the woods so you don't get any street noise. The room has everything you need. The breakfast was an excellent bonus. They even accommodated dietary issues.

Lovely lodging close to the park
Lovely lodging and so close to the park entrance! Great restaurant nearby, and also convenient to gas station and basic shopping. The building is lovely and so relaxing to sit outside. Our room was quiet and comfortable. WiFi wasn’t great but everything else was. Nice breakfast as well.

Our stay at the Lodge was wonderful! The room was large, comfortable and the staff provided room extras like a mini refrigerator and coffee machine. It was so close to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, making it easy to access the park. I highly recommend the lodge..you won’t be disappointed!
