Yes, it's old and quaint - but it's the PERFECT location for great day hikes on many of the Park's best trails. Rooms are clean and adequate - after all, you're going to be outside enjoying the scenery. We've been to the Park three times in the past eight years (going back this year) and quickly learned that Swiftcurrent was... More

We stayed for two nights in one of the motel rooms, but there are camping and cabin options as well. The room was a little small for four of us (two adults and two children in two double beds) and the bathroom was also tiny, but it was all adequate - we were only there to sleep and wash after...

Great advice for anyone planning a trip into Glacier. "Staff encounters"- I like that. You are always welcome back, any time you visit Glacier in the future. More

We were up to the park over labor day weekend with no reservations. I had lucked out the night before with a room at Lake MacDonald Lodge and I really wanted to stay the next night at the Many Glacier Hotel but at the last min all we could get was the nearby Swiftcurrent Cabins. It was still awesome. The... More

We love your pleasant outlook. It sounds like you found the perfect compromise, after not being able to book a room at Many Glacier. A quick tip when you are planning your next visit in the Park. It will take an average of 6 months or so to reserve a room of choice, and maybe a little longer at Many... More

The cabins are not cheap but spacious and very quite. The setting nearby Many Glacier lake is ideal because on the mountain just behid the hotel one can see black bears and grizzly from the parking lot and many beautifull hikes, like the one to Iceberg lake or Grinell Glacier starts here. Pity there are almost no facilities in the... More

Sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations of service while you stayed with us. Keep in mind that the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn is approaching the century mark, and many modern amenities are not available in order to keep with the historic nature of the facilities. More

I'm prefacing my thoughts about my recent stay @ Swiftcurrent Motor Inn and Cabins in Glacier National Park by reenforcing the thoughts of many other reviewers: the reason for visiting and staying at any of the National Parks is to enjoy the natural, scenic and historical wonders that the National Parks offer. One's expectations should be at that level. The... More

Thank you so much for summing this up for everyone. I think that some folks just use TripAdvisor to vent. I am glad that they probably feel better, but it really does not help us improve our level of service. It is nice to read a comment from someone that “gets it”. More

These accommodations are nothing fancy, however, they are clean. The location is why you would want to stay here. There are numerous trail heads within walking distance of the lodge. We also enjoyed sitting out on the porch of the lodge after a long day of hiking and meeting/sharing stories with other hikers. We had a motel unit that was... More

A screw up in reservations was very stressful for being the first things to happen after a long drive, however... we stayed in a motel unit so we had a private bath. The room was very clean and comfortable. Yes, the walls are paper thin, but I always travel with earplugs. No coffee pot (but again, I bring my own)... More

We are so sorry to hear of the "mix up" in your reservation. We are glad that you were able to enjoy your stay regardless, even so. Nice tip on the earplugs. Maybe we should provide those? We are glad that you at least got to see the pictures of what was crossing the trail, afterwards. More

We stayed one night here because we wanted to visit the Many Glacier area and weren't able to get into the Many Glacier Hotel. We had a motel unit with dbl/twin bed and a private bath. We were near the end of our trip, so I may have been somewhat road weary, but I was disappointed with my stay here.... More

This motor inn is about location; you are right by a few trailheads. Our room had two beds and a bathroom; it was clean. We do wish there would have been a coffee maker so we could have hot water for our oatmeal. Ice was a little inconvient as you have to go to the front desk (which wasn't exactly... More

I've been to Glacier NP many times but this year was the first time I stayed at Swiftcurrent. The only availability was a stand alone cabin without a bathroom or shower. I was only staying there for one night, and didn't think the no bathroom a problem. The way I looked at it was I camp in the backcountry without... More
