Room was restocked with clean super nice towels the second night. Perfect location to Glacier west entrance.. Would recommend this location to anyone going to West Glacier..

Decent enough for a pit stop. Sandwiched between hwy and railroad so was a little loud for a light sleeper to get good nights sleep and is removed from stores or restaurants… there is a restaurant for dinner on site but nothing else near so bring your own eats pending time of day. Good location if in route to diff areas of park for a night

Good stay in Essex on the way from Glacier National park at a quiet community of 40 people. Convenient stay on the way back from the East entrance of Glacier. Small rooms but clean and well maintained. The property wifi is very spotty and there's no cellphone signal there. The owners also serve dinner at their restaurant next door, their Chinese food is quite good.

Great cabin 20 mins away from Glacier national park. We stayed the cabin in the RV perfect for 2-3 day stay. Owner was really friendly.

A very nice and remote area. We stayed in the caboose and it was great. You are near the historic rail way so trains do run near but that did not bother us. The food at the tavern was very good and the portions were large.

A small place off the highway. Had a little kitchen next door and had a hot meal after a long day. Room was cozy. Only negative is trains do run behind the property in the middle of the night and the hwy is in in the front. We knew ahead of time and had ear plugs and slept great. Would definitely stay again

Secluded cabin, it was cozy. We were there during fall so we used ac during the day but there was no heat source in the room for the chilly morning. The staff there are awesome and the cafe has great Asian food. It’s a little pricey but given the location it was probably fair. I look forward to my next stay!

We loved staying at Glacier Haven Inn. It is a family run business and they were so kind to us. The cabin was very cute and quaint. The cabin we stayed in didn’t have a bathroom but the bath house was right next store and very clean. I was impressed with how well maintained and clean everything was. It is very close to the Glacier east entrance, only about 15 minutes away. The restaurant on the property has very good homemade Chinese food as well. All around we loved our stay!

We had an easy check-in, staffs were accomodating. Our room is well kept,they changed our towel and took our trash everyday. The place is located by the highway and behind has a train railway track. We can hear train and cars passing through but we were able to sleep otherwise. I found mess under our bed which seems to be there for a quite a while,and cobwebs. What I also like is the place nestled approximately 25 mins away from west entrance and 35 mins away from st mary entrance. On our 2nd day we use the west entrance til logan pass on our 3rd st mary all the way to west entrance. Just hope they will clear the back side since the grass is already by the window. Recommend this place.

8/10 Very good

This is a family owned and operated little motel, a long time in business. For the value, I would recommend it. But I would also highly recommend you leave your porch light on all night. Someone tried to get into my room with their keys that obviously matched their door and not mine. Scared the hell outta me. I watched this dark-hooded figure try to key in and eventually come back with a flashlight, discover they were at the wrong door and then leave. Probably harmless, but I couldn't fall asleep after that. Otherwise, the hotel is right by the highway, Amtrak trains at night, and thin walls between rooms. Probably safe enough, just can be noisy.

It’s a very cozy hotel in a great location, with a restaurant right next door. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. It’s a charming, family-owned hotel. I truly enjoyed my stay. The family creates a special, personal atmosphere and works hard to make sure every guest feels comfortable and has a great experience. I’m so glad I found this little gem, and I’ll definitely be back 🌅

4/10 Fair

Office closes at 5:30 pm so make arrangements if coming later. Property (motel and cabin) is directly between a busy road, a train track and the owner’s chickens and roosters. Sheets and blankets were clean, and we were grateful for a washer/dryer available. We were about 30 min from the Apgar entrance to Glacier National Park.

Noisy, dusty, far from the store. Ok to stay in this place if you don’t have other choice.

Terrible overpriced and undermaintained. Next to a train line and busy road. Room smells, AC makes constant loid noise, Booked for 3 nights but stayed for only one night. Will never recommend anyone to stay in this motel.
