This lodge was beautiful! The ambiance of the lobby area with views and an amazing fireplace! There was also an expert speaker one evening that talked all about the bears!! Fantastic! Only improvement I would suggest would be more comfortable beds!

very historic, beautiful area, grounds and history, close to park, lacking on food choice,but food/dinner was very enjoyable, grounds was clean, view was unbelievable, beds was comfortable, giant fireplace,ample rockers to relax in, reading area, gift shop on grounds, very reasonably priced, would stay again if in the area. only part that was questionable was the red bus tour, but different review and organization. very scenic drive around hotel

We enjoyed our stay at Glacier Park Lodge. It’s beautiful inside and out and the piano was a wonderful touch. It was roughly 45 minutes to Glacier National Park. The weather was perfect and I enjoyed sitting out front in the mornings having my delicious coffee from the coffee shop inside the lodge.

I was ion a road trip camping in my tent most nights and the previous two nights had been at a remote Glacier Park campground, Bowman Lake, which was gorgeous. As a National Park volunteer ranger in Arizona, I have a campground evening program that I present, " The History of Railroads and National Park Lodges. " The Glacier Park Lodge, built by the Great Northern Railway, is a prime example, so I have decided to stay there for one night, which was pricy. ( I have also stayed in previous years at the Belton Chalet and Prince of Wales Hotel, also railway hotels. ) I arrived on a rainy Labor Day afternoon and it was not until after 4 pm that my room was ready, the one minus. But I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the room, expecting something dog eared that might have looked like time stopped in the 1930s or 40s. It had been tastefully redone and was very attractive and comfortable. ( no TV= that is OK. ) While waiting for my room, I presented an impromptu concert of old standards on the lobby grand piano, which seemed to be appreciated by the mostly senior clientele. In the evening, I attended the ranger program in the lobby about bear safety. Dinner in the dining room was quite good - I had the red chili soup preceded by a martini, and the pot roast. Very tasty. Breakfast buffet the next morning was pretty good. The next night I was in my tent in a simple forest campground south of Great Falls!

Don’t stay here if usual hotel amenities is what you are looking for. Rooms have no television, no in room coffee, shaky Wi-Fi, small bathroom, and small bed in the cheaper rooms. I realize it’s a historic hotel but most want the usual features of a hotel room.
