This is a renovated railroad hotel (the former Isaac Walton.) if you are just looking for a base camp when visiting Glacier for outdoor experiences then this might be your place. They do provide a YETI cooler, boot dryer, hammock, sleeping bag and headlamp - to borrow. Otherwise: lower your expectations. No air conditioning. No window screen on the second floor. Our room was HOT but how can you keep window open with no screen? I had to use a trash can to prop open the window in daylight hours (window latches broken.) At night window closed to keep bugs out. No elevator and no one offered to take luggage up to room. Housekeeping only if requested. No ice machine or ice bucket.

We booked a room to stay here overnight after spending a day in Glacier National Park. My companion had stayed here 20 years ago and liked it very much. We made a mistake. This hotel does not cater to people looking for comfortable accommodations for just one night. It caters to people looking to use the hotel as their base for outdoor exploration. Pros - The room was clean, nicely decorated in a rustic way with a large refrigerator and microwave. The waitress who served us dinner was very kind and accommodating and the food was good. The menu is mostly sandwiches with a few salads and entrees. Cons - Guests staying during the summer months should be aware there is no air conditioning, and our room was not equipped with window screens. We were told that this is a problem on the third floor only because the windows are not of a size for which window screens can be purchased. I've stayed in historic properties without elevators before. Guests should be aware there are no elevators. We didn't see any reviews or summaries on-line mentioning the above facts. Hoping this will be helpful to those considering staying here in the future.

I left my luggage filled with $1000s of arcteryx gear. They said they would send it back. It's been 2 months and still haven't seen my luggage. Did they steal it?

Comfortable rooms with great decor and amazing views. The hotel provides a yeti cooler for guests to borrow for excursions as well as bikes and paddle boards. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Great location for visiting Glacier National Park and other fun adventures. Stayed for a week and would definitely go back!

Beautiful, natural (forest) location at a modern (attractive) yet classic lodge. Wonderful restaurant and staff! Easy (beautiful) drive 30 min to both East and West Glacier! This is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature with an easy drive to both Glacier entrances. Walking trails on site (we saw moose). Family cabins, hotel rooms, restaurant and amenities like bonfire pits, hammocks, yeti coolers, dog friendly and more. A quick walk up the road from the Essex Amtrak stop for those arriving by train. So pleased my family of 5 booked here.
