This is an American Gem. Thank God for the Railroad to build such an Amazing Lodge. I took yrs and a lot of Hard Labor to build such A Building. We walked over to the Amtrak depot in fron of the Lodge and watched the Train pull in from Chicago. The look on people faces when they look over and see the Lodge. Priceless.

Avoid Amtrak reservations. They are not honored by the hotel. Bring lots of money because to get to a site where you can use the free parks shuttle, it will cost you $30 per person and the trip is an hour. Hiking is good, but if you are traveling with small children, this will not work for you. There is nothing special for small children.

This amazing hotel with 60 huge trees as the centerpiece of the lobby will leave you in awe. The view from the rooms was amazing. The rooms were large and tastefully furnished. The floors in our room were wooden and true to the era it was built. Although there wasn’t air conditioning, the room was still pleasant. There is no coffee machine, television, refrigerator, or microwave in the rooms. There was a ice machine available and microwave in the snack purchase area and coffee and tea were available for purchase in the lobby. There wasn’t an elevator to our room on the third floor but Bell Hops were present to help if needed. Jennifer at the front desk answered all of our questions and attended to any requests we had. All the staff was friendly and helpful.

Everything at lodge was very good to excellent.d te food in the bar. Staff very helpful. Only thing we didn’t like was cost and quality of buffet breakfast. We found the large lobby very comfortable and the big trees in the lobby stunning.

The Glacier Park Lodge, also referred to as East Glacier Lodge, is in a picturesque setting, and is a quaint and historic building. We went there on one of the nights of our recent bus tour to Glacier, Calgary and Banff. Bell hops dressed in railroad costume were cordial and very helpful with luggage assistance, directions and information. The bell hops were needed, as we were told when we arrived that they do not have elevators. The website said there are a limited number of ADA rooms, but I didn’t observe them when we were there. The numbering of the floors in the newer wing was a little crazy because it was added at a later time, with its first floor lower than the first floor in the original building. There was a nice gift shop in the lobby. The unique main lobby has pillars of huge natural logs, and a rustic décor. There is a restaurant just off the lobby where we had our supper after our arrival and our breakfast before leaving. The supper left something to be desired in selection, and the preparation of the steaks, but the breakfast buffet was very good. Our room was obviously older, but was clean and cared for. There was a step up into the bathroom (6 inches or so), that was a little nerve-wracking for someone in a dark room who gets up in the night to go to the bathroom. The shower was small but adequate, and the internet was sufficient for our needs. The latch on the door out to the shared balcony didn’t seem very secure, but we had no incident because of it. There was no air conditioning, but really it wasn’t needed when we were there in the middle of July. There were many areas in the hotel and on shared and common balconies, where you could just sit and enjoy the views. The skyway between the two wings was a nice place with big windows, tables and chairs where you could just relax, look at the scenery, play games, read, etc. There is an Amtrak station adjacent to the property, and a beautiful flower garden out front of the lodge featuring some flowers I'd never seen before.
