Though the exterior of the motel makes you think you might find mildew in the shower and bugs on the floor, exactly the opposite is true! Our room was outfitted with a brand new, beautifully tiled bathroom, and the king room, though small, was spotless. We enjoyed a swim in the pool a day or two after the heat had... More

My sister and I arrived at Vista Motel just before sunset and were trying to determine if it was safe to try to drive into the park at that hour. We didn't have a reservation, but they'd had a cancellation so we had the option of staying or not. Kimberly (front desk staff) walked us through our options without trying... More

Stayed here for 4 nights on both ends of a backpacking trip in Glacier Park, it worked perfect for us! There were 5 of us in three different units. One couple had a small kitchen cabin, the rest were in regular motel rooms. The rooms were very nice, and exceptionally clean. The motel buildings are older, so there's no modern... More

This is an old motel with outdated rooms and bathrooms. There is hardly room to sit on the toilets and it is next to impossible to shower in the less than 2 foot by 2 foot showers. The lodge next door, Glacier Raft Company, is much nicer. Glacier Raft Company has lodges and is also a rafting company. More

Friendly, accommodating, close to the park, Natalie, the owner is attentive to needs. She is also very knowledgeable about the area. Kids loved the heated pool. More

Don't let the outside of this place fool you. The rooms are large, clean and the beds are very comfortable. We got a room with a kitchen which was nice since it allowed us to have a hot breakfast every morning. We had our own private driveway with a porch (room 9). A kitchen and a great shower. My only...

I am planning a trip to Glacier National Park next month (September). I booked a reservation and was told that they would email me a confirmation which they never did. Later that day I changed my mind (decided to stay inside the park). When I called (the same day) the woman at the front desk asked why I was canceling... More

I have never been to Glacier and made my reservations by cost and info gained on reviews. My family and I are so happy that we found this motel. Yes the train was noisy and there was no air conditioning but we were comfortable. After a day of hiking the train was a minimal disturbance. The staff at the Vista... More

My daughter and I were to stay at another lodgeing in the area and was unable to get intouch with the property owners. Kimberly was very gracious in finding phone numbers to put us intouch with the owners. Also she allowed my daughter to use her computer to access the paper work for the reservation. Even though we did not... More

Our trip to Glacier National Park was planned in advance, however, our lodging was NOT booked at the Vista Motel. Upon arrival at the facility that we had reserved for two nights, the gate was shut, no one was around and our repeated voicemail messages never returned. Not knowing what to do we stopped in at the Vista Motel to... More
