Overview

About This Property

Wonderstone at Glacier sits along Highway 2 East, about 11 miles from the West Glacier entrance. This 71-room modern hotel was built in 1995 and refreshed since, giving you a clean, minimalist base for Glacier adventures. Free breakfast from May through October, plus free Wi‑Fi and in-room amenities like a sound machine and mini-fridge. It’s not a resort, but for close Glacier access and solid basics, it’s a smart play.

Your Morning Game Plan

Hit the free breakfast early for best selection; you're about 15 minutes from the West Glacier gate, so wheels up by 6:45 AM to beat the crowds.

Booking Insider Tip

Book well in advance for peak August; for multiple rooms, expect stricter cancellation windows and potential prepayment.

What Guests Say

Solid modern base near Glacier with a comfortable feel and reliable basics. Breakfast is a real perk; noise is the main trade-off. Value remains strong for Glacier access with room types that accommodate families or groups.
