Circle R Motel

Lodging

Circle R Motel puts you in East Glacier Park on US-2—a true gateway town for Glacier hikers. You get a clean bed and WiFi to plan your trails the night before. It's the kind of budget play that works when you're spending your days hiking and your nights sleeping, not hanging around the motel.

Planning advice

The Honest Truth
I cannot verify current pricing or guest reviews from the available data, so I cannot assess true value without a rate quote. But Circle R is positioned exactly for hikers: small-town convenience, close enough to park boundaries for 5-6 AM starts, cheap enough to let you splurge on park activities and shuttles. Call +1 406-226-9331 to confirm current rates and conditions.

Book If
✅ BOOK IF: You need a clean bed within 40 minutes of Glacier's trailheads and want to keep lodging costs low. You're visiting July–September and don't expect a restaurant or pool. ❌ SKIP IF: You want on-site amenities (restaurant, lounge, pool) or prefer staying inside the park; you travel off-season and need guaranteed full services.
