Our stay was great overall! The hotel sits in a beautiful setting among the mountains, offering a serene atmosphere. The rooms were cozy and clean, but the noise from the nearby railroad tracks could be bothersome at times. The staff was attentive and accommodating, making our experience enjoyable. However, the dining options were limited to muffins, which was a downside. The facilities were modern and well-kept, providing a comfortable stay at a reasonable price.

The hotel's proximity to the West Glacier entrance and its stunning surroundings make it a perfect base for exploring Glacier National Park. The nearby rail line didn't disrupt my experience and can be considered acceptable for most travelers.

Although I didn't try the vegan pizza, the dining experience was likely enjoyable based on the variety offered. However, more details would have improved the overall dining experience.

I stayed at this hotel which is conveniently located near the West Glacier entrance, offering a more affordable option compared to accommodations inside the park. The room was adequately set up, but the proximity to the rail line might bother light sleepers. The value for money is great, and the option of Dutch products in the dining area was a nice touch.

The hotel is conveniently situated in Glacier, very close to the West Glacier entrance at a significantly cheaper price than the hotels in the park. The rooms are cozy and clean, but being close to a rail line could be a minor disturbance. The service was attentive, despite not involving a manager for any issues. The dining, offering seasonal local products, enhances the overall experience.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying its great location near the park entrance and the forest. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff, while not proactive, still provided good service. The dining options were lacking, offering only cold meat, but the overall value for the price paid was reasonable.
