The game plan: lock in a clean bed, grab free hot breakfast, and dive into Glacier adventures without blowing the budget. Glacier International Lodge stays true to its budget-hustle promise with 100 rooms (built in 2018), an indoor heated pool with a waterslide, and a gym. It’s not haute-couture, but the basics are solid for families and airport travelers. We take those.
Skip the lobby coffee—free hot breakfast is a solid start. It's a 30-minute drive to the park entrance. Leave by 6:30 AM to beat the tour buses.
✅ BOOK IF: You are a family or budget traveler needing airport proximity. ❌ SKIP IF: You’re chasing luxury or need pet-friendly stay.

We had a late flight that got in around midnight and it was snowing, but the shuttle was still running and they happily came pick us up and brought us to the airport the next morning to pick up a rental car. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable. The gym was small but nice to get some movement in after a day of travel. The woman leading breakfast was so kind and cheerful!If you’re visiting around the holidays, the decorations are cute!

I thought it was a really nice place for the most part! We spent $500 on 4 nights which is a great price when it also includes breakfast and an indoor pool! The breakfast is amazing! The pool has a slide! Which is fun! The pool was a little chilly and one of the pool management people asked me if my child had a swim diaper on, to which I said yes, he then said if not they have some, I then again said she does have one on. But yet he didn’t say anything to the lady in the hot tub that was wearing jeans. Seemed weird to me. The pillows are bad. But I mean really overall not too many complaints! I would stay here again.

Well, we usually stay there. It's always been great. Nobody wants an emergency to happen. My brother got a call and said he had to check into emergency right away. We didn't stay the very last night. We left it 3 o'clock that day, and they would not refund the last day. This was a medical emergency. It's not like we planned it. I just thought it was kind of cheesy. I guess you have to buy insurance which is new to us old folks. But it sure left a bad feeling about everything.
