We stayed at several places in Glacier - Rising Sun Motor Inn, Apgar Village Inn, Many Glacier Hotel, and Swiftcurrent Inn. My experience with Rising Sun was the most memorable because as soon as I walked in, the room smelled of urine. I didn't dare think about how the smell got there, but the very, very old carpet, curtains, and... More

There was nothing fancy about our cabin, but it was clean and comfortable. It was just what I wanted. As inexpensive as I could get in Glacier without pulling out the tent. It had heat, which is very important even in July. Make sure you know how to turn it on before you go to bed so you're not fumbling... More

We stayed in cabin #13A for just one night on our way from Lake McDonald to Many Glacier. The cabins are very affordable and provide basic lodging. Compared to other park lodging, there's nothing particularly historic or architectural and no view whatsoever. However, the staff were perhaps the most friendly and accommodating and the food at the restaurant, Two Dog... More

The weather really changed when we arrived in Glacier National Park - wet and very windy. Accommodations were quite full, and we were lucky to get the last room at the Inn - a handicapped room, which meant much more space. One problem - no wifi service. We were able to get that at the Park Cafe and Grocery.

There are not many lodging choices in the National Park, and this lodge left much to be desired. However it was clean and very convenient. The screen door slamming in the cabins of the neighbors was very annoying in the wee hours of the morning. Overall it was OK, but don't expect luxury.

We stayed in one of the cabins for two nights. The cabins are very cute and clean. The location is beautiful, and I wished we had stayed longer. The staff was courteous and helpful. The only drawback is that the cabins are two units in one building, and the walls are pretty thin, so we heard our neighbors quite a... More
