This was our favorite lodging during our recent (late June) stay at Glacier (we also stayed at Rising Sun and Village Inn). We stayed two nights, and wish we'd had three since it's such a beautiful part of the park. The buildings are set among some aspen trees. We had a motel room with two beds and they were really comfortable. The room and bathroom were both clean, and had everything we needed, including a box fan. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside is that the doors are noisy when they close, unless you close them gently. Unfortunately, we had neighbors on one side who slammed their door each and every time they went in and out. Swiftcurrent is also near the Many Glacier hotel, and you can drive over there and sit in the lodge or outside and enjoy the view. The restaurant at Swiftcurrent was just adequate, which is about par for the course when dining at the national parks.

Very nice large room, one bed, table and two chairs, counter and two night stands. Being a national park it didn't have a TV, refrigerator or microwave and no counter in the bathroom. We had a great breakfast and a good dinner plus a good boat ride over at Many Glacier.

Many Glacier vs Swiftcurrent (both have pros and cons)

We could not get all the nights we wanted at Many Glacier Lodge, so we ended up staying in Swiftcurrent as well (also in Rising Sun, which I don't recommend, and Lake McDonald Lodge, which we also liked). If you can't get lake front rooms at Many Glacier, then Swiftcurrent may be a better option. The rooms are more newly renovated, and our bed was more comfortable than at Many Glacier. The lodge store is also better at Swiftcurrent than at Many Glacier, and the trails that start from Swiftcurrent are better than those that start from Many Glacier (Many Glacier is on a lake, so you have to walk around it to intersect with other trails while Swiftcurrent has at least 3 trails that start right from the parking lot, including Iceberg Lake and Grinnell Glacier--it is also 5 minutes from a little lake where you frequently see moose). Cons of Swiftcurrent are the restaurant (I would not recommend eating there--our food was gross) and that wifi is only available in the main lodge (at Many Glacier, we got wifi in our room, but we were in the main lodge). Many Glacier also has nightly ranger events, so if you are into that and not going to hike much anyway, then Many Glacier may be a better choice. If you plan to use the general store and do the longer/harder hikes and can't get a lake view room at Many Glacier, then I would recommend Swiftcurrent!

Hotel that serves it purpose for hiking.

Stayed here 1 night. My Front door was 50’ away from iceberg lake trailhead. It serves its purpose. Hot shower and a bed. Go there expecting this and you won’t be disappointed . This hotel is about 80 years old. No wifi or tv in room. Restaurant on site is actually decent and the prices are very reasonable given you have no where else to eat except the other lodge. The room itself is small and has not been updated in a very long time. There are different variations of hotel rooms. We stayed in a unit that had about 8 rooms. There are also cabins. Room had iron and hair dryer.

All good

It is a nice motor lodge located deep in the Many Glacier area of Glacier NP. The rooms are comfortable and it is a great location for this area. It was extremely hot while we were there and there is no air conditioning, but we knew this already as this is standard in NPS lodges. They have box fans and we used ours. We no humidity in the area we could sleep fine with the fan.
