Ok if you want basic room with nothing else
Nice room but, check in is 2 blocks away and they didn’t have my reservation in their system. Fridge broken, bad wifi, dangerous parking lot with deep gravel,

This was a cute small cabin, very clean! It was right in town close to a Mexican restaurant that was the best food I ever had. Would stay here again.

It was a small motel. It was clean but the room and bathroom were extremely small. It was an old and not updated motel.

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.

The Whistling Swan is adorable! The owner was accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. He was so helpful. Be sure to check out the Two Medicine Grill just down the street.

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.

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.

The room was remodeled and the bathroom was very nice. Easy to find in East Glacier on the main highway. Within walking distance to the Trading Post, Amtrak station and eating establishments. Reasonable.

Stay somewhere else.
This is a place to avoid. The WiFi did not work. The bathroom is literally 2' by 3'. I didn't even try to take a shower. There is mold on the ceiling of the shower. There was a bulb out in the ceiling light fixture. There is no AC. Yes, I know it is a cool climate. The main room was approximately 9' by 9'. The bathroom sink water tap was so short that I could not fit my had underneath. There was not a fan or window in the bathroom. The parking situation is poor. Guests coming after us had to park on street. The photos are not representative of the room we were in.
