This is a an AirBnB and impossible to make reservations. They tell you that you have a reservation one minute and the next minute they say you don’t have one. Do not book this lodging. The system is broken and can not be depended on . Very disappointed in this experience

Great service in a hotel with so many stories to tell. The historic perspective could entertain you for 3 days! The rooms were interesting and the bathroom was like tiny but it worked! Loved having a balcony attached. The views on the porch at the back of the lodge were stunning especially at sunset!

Overpriced, dated lodge with bare rooms

Glacier Park Lodge is nearly impossible to get to unless you drive/rent a car or take the train. The closest airport is over 1.5 hours away with no mode of shuttle or taxi to the lodge. The lodge is old and outdated. You will spend over 30 minutes on hold trying to book a room. The reservation desk will not know of any room bookings or codes so speak to a manager beforehand. The rooms are old, dirty, no room service or linens. Small high windows without any great views. I wore my flip flops into the shower and around the room because it was so dirty. I have never used a smaller sink than this. No TV, radio, fridge, microwave or coffee maker. You will need to buy your coffee for $5 in the main lobby. The conference room is in the basement where it is dusty and mold smelling. I could see where asbestos covered pipes & tiles were ripped and falling apart. The staff were friendly and helpful which is the only positive of this very overpriced lodge.

We loved our stay at Glacier, even as we acknowledge that this is a seriously old hotel, super interesting but seriously old. We love the original park lodges, but were a bit surprised at how rustic the rooms in this one was. No elevators in a three-story building! It is a beautiful site but rather out of the way - about 45 min from the St. Mary's entrance. That said, we absolutely loved staying there, enjoyed the great public spaces, the decks, the views and the amazing and evocative lobby. The place is packed with history and staffed by very competent and friendly staff (except for the totally unfriendly young cashier at the coffee shop every morning!!!). We had a very good dinner at the restaurant - excellent pepper and tomato soup and very good pot roast! Just know-before-you-go: while you will pay semi-luxury prices, expect rustic!

Good, But Room For Improvement

I spent 3 nights here during the 3rd week of September after arriving by Amtrak. First, the pros: 1. The lodge was very close and convenient to the train station - only about 230 yards away, so you can walk there or they provide a free shuttle for a ride back. This was welcomed as it was raining when I arrived. 2. The grounds and lodge are beautiful and the views from places in or near the lodge are nice. 3. They offer a free historical tour every evening at 5pm which discussed the history of the lodge and challenges during it's construction. 4. They also provide bingo and trivia games at night in the lounge. 5. I found the food for breakfast and dinner good, but on the expensive side. 6. The staff was friendly, helpful, professional and went out of their way to ensure I had a satisfactory visit. In fact, the rooms didn't have an iron or ironing board, but they found them for me to borrow due to all the wrinkled clothes I had. The helpful staff was perhaps their greatest strength. 7. The lodge provides shuttle service back and forth to 2 Medicine and St. Mary's several times a day, which I found helpful since I didn't have a car. But, it was expensive: $25 each way to 2 Medicine and $50 each way to get to St. Mary's. I only used the shuttle 1 day to 2 Medicine since my last day I went on a shuttle bus tour of the park. 8. The mattress was comfortable to help ensure a good night's sleep. 9. There is a breakfast bar/cafe that served egg/sausage sandwiches, coffee, juice, etc. that provided a less expensive food option at breakfast time. The cons: 1. The room was dated and in need of upgrading. The shower was small and the hardwood floors creaked loudly wherever I walked. 2. The rooms were not well insulated and I could hear people in the hall or above me since I had a room on the bottom floor. 3. The room did not have a microwave, refrigerator, TV, coffee maker or iron. 4. No coffee maker meant I had to spend $3.50 for a 12 ounce coffee every morning or afternoon. 5. Wifi seemed inconsistent at times. The small town of East Glacier Park does have a convenience store down the street from the train station, so this was convenient. Also, there was a pizza/sandwich restaurant and Mexican restaurant where the meals are less expensive, so I ate there 1 night. Overall, I had a good visit and would probably stay here again, but if I ever visit again, I would want a car because without a car, your touring options are much more limited and you won't be able to see more of the park. I was advised by the shuttle driver that the car rental businesses in East Glacier Park went out of business during or after the Covid 19 virus.
