Budget-friendly base for families visiting Glacier with simple, convenient setup.
Mid-June to early September.
Look, it’s not fancy. It’s a plain, budget-friendly base with friendly hosts. The place shows its age, parking can be tight during peak times, and some rooms have noise. For the price and location, it’s hard to beat.

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.

Location great. Bed mattress very soft. Cleanliness not great but i think it’s an older motel. If you need ANY customer service while staying here, forget it. We stayed 2 days and never saw anyone at the front office so we couldnt get more coffee. We called and was told to flag down housekeeping if they were there and they could get us more. Talked to the only other person we saw staying there and she wasnt happy either. She arrived 15 min before check in, no one at the office, was given the key code for her room when she called but the room hadnt even been cleaned yet. Same as us, she never saw anybody in the front office.

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!
