We stayed in the Cobb House. The rooms were clean and comfy., perfect size for our family of four. The porch was a nice place to have a quiet morning coffee. The shower was less than ideal but we made it work. The grounds of the hotel had everything we needed. The pizza restaurant was closed while we were there without notification which bummed out the kids. Loved the location and ease of shuttles with a stop right at the hotel.

We stayed at Lake MacDonald for 3 nights. Because I did not plan ahead each night was in a different room. We were able to experience every level of accommodation and each was perfectly acceptable for a family. We stayed in a Snyder room, a small cabin 2 doubles, and a deluxe 2 queen in the lodge. Obviously, the deluxe was amazing with softer bed linens and nicer amenities. The small cabin had quicker access to the lake and since we were close to Jammer Joe’s we had internet. The Snyder Hall room with bunks wasn’t bad either. In all honestly any lodging in the park is great because you’re in the park. You get access to Going to the Sun Road and the Lake MacDonald trails. Our kids loved ending the day in the water. There is no bad day in Glacier National Park.

It’s a quaint rustic historical hotel, that has some challenges (since it’s old) but the lodge is backwoods elegant and the location is great because you are IN the park. The lake is beautiful with amazing mountains all around. They have a boat tour service and a bus tour service to get you all around the park without having to worry about parking (which can be a challenge on busy days) and the convenience on jumping on/off throughout the day is nice. Very nice front desk staff. The restaurant is nice but the line forms early (like 6:30am) for breakfast. They don’t sell coffee to go/just coffee, but rather you have to sit down to a table to get breakfast and coffee which is a pain. VictorB

This resort is a pure gem. It was very hot and there is no air conditioning, so that was no fun, but they have box fans in the room and we proped it up in the window and everything was fine. There is no humidity after all. The rooms are comfortable, the lobby is beautiful, and even the stairs are easy to walk up (no elevator). The wifi is only available in the lobby they say, but we were on the top floor and we could access it in certain points in our room.

We enjoyed a lot of things about our deluxe queen room. Our third floor end unit had a relatively decent lake view (a stand of trees partially blocks most lake views) and the extra window on the end afforded a bit of cross breeze. The weather was quite warm the first day, which was problematic because there is no air conditioning, but everything is much cooler at night. We were comfortable sleeping with the fan blowing and the windows open. The bathroom was cute but tiny, to the point that we kept bumping our elbows on the shower walls, and we aren’t large people. There was a balcony, but only a window, not a door, to access it, and a sign telling us not to use it. It was shared with the room next door which did have a door; I don’t know if they had a sign like we did. In any case, it was absolutely covered with rodent droppings. We heard the rodents scampering around out there at night, making us nervous that the might find their way through the screened open windows. Parking was often difficult to find and distant from the building because people come to eat in the restaurant and ride the boats, and there is no designated parking area for hotel guests. The loading area is very small and we got in trouble for briefly blocking a walkway when we couldn’t find a spot to unload our bags in the official loading area. There is no elevator, though the bellhop will help with bags. Wifi is weak and can only be accessed in the lobby, not in your room, which seems like something Xanterra would be able to address very easily if only they cared to. Housekeeping was whimsical, making the bed or not, replacing a few towels, possibly emptying trash, but not replacing the coffee packets. For the money, things should be better. It’s a neat old building, but I’d suggest visiting without staying the night.
