Hotel overview

Located just half a mile from Glacier National Park’s east entrance, this family-run motel serves travelers seeking practical and affordable lodging. Its down-to-earth rooms and cabin units suit visitors looking for modest comfort without unnecessary frills. The property also offers a full vacation house equipped with a kitchen, ideal for longer stays or families needing more space and self-catering options.

A pet- and kid-friendly atmosphere prevails, welcoming guests eager to explore nearby natural landmarks without sacrificing easy access or basic conveniences like free parking and Wi-Fi. While the motel lacks a pool or fitness center, its rustic charm and proximity to the park balance those gaps for nature-oriented travelers.

Reviews note some limitations such as spotty cell signal and mostly unusable Wi-Fi, as well as absence of air conditioning aside from provided box fans. Still, many guests appreciate the historical character, tranquil setting, and value pricing, making it a solid base for adventures around St Mary and Glacier National Park.

“The location of the motel was great, it’s right outside the gate for Glacier National Park. I didn’t expect a lot, they had vacancy and were pet friendly which was my main requirements. No A/C, but there is a window on both sides of the room and they provided a box fan. For the night that we stayed, we were comfortable. Cell signal is a little spotty here and their WiFi was mostly unusable for our stay, but it wasn’t too big of a deal since we were there for the park. Housekeeping did try to barge into our room at like 9:30 without even knocking.”

“After reading some of the reviews, I was a little concerned about booking this place, but it was the only one in the area with a room available so I booked it. It's obviously an older motel that was probably built well over 50 years ago, but we were very happily surprised to find a very clean room with a very comfortable bed. It's not a 4 star place but it gets 5 stars in my opinion. The rustic appearance and the view outside was awesome. We stayed two nights and it was very pleasant, and the rate was far better than any other place around. We paid cash and it was under $300 for two nights total. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone.”
