We stayed 4 nights at an AirBnB in Essex, MT. we had dinner at the Izaak Walton Inn three times and one breakfast. We enjoyed all of our meals. The Inn has an interesting history. We did not tour the accommodations, however, most of the diners we encountered in the restaurant were guests. They all seemed well pleased with their stay at the Inn. The wait staff at the restaurant we excellent.
Find somewhere else to stay

We stayed here in October 2022. The room was very small. The mattress was terrible and had no support. The futon was bad too. The room was way overpriced for what you get. No elevators for the older population. I would stay somewhere else if I am ever back at GNP.

We stayed in the red caboose cabin on the opposite side of the tracks from the main lodge and enjoyed it. Nice and quiet on that side and that cupola is awesome for train watching. Nice place to stay when visiting Glacier as both entrances are about 30 minutes away. The staff as usual was friendly. Only negative is the supply chain problems that the inn is experiencing. We had to ask for soap and dish detergent and the staff had trouble finding any. Normally there's shampoo and lotion and none of that either. Considering the location we cut them some slack but I hope that they can improve their inventory.

Interesting former railroad worker lodge - has interesting history but is not the same as your usual Historic National Park lodge. More simple and basic. Decor was interesting. Room small but clean and functional. Nice hot tub.

Lacking air conditioning in 95 degree heat rubs the charm off history. Once you've walked through the wood paneled lobby, you're left with the rest of the stay.
We enjoyed the track view, the trains, and walking by the outside locomotives and cabooses.
The restaurant food was meh and overpriced. Coffee for $5?
The bar was small. Order at the bar.
The bed was too soft - I had to grip the edge to avoid rolling into my partner.
And all this for double what such a motel would have cost a year ago.
There are cheaper accommodations in West Glacier (not in the park).
If you want to see the place and experience "the charm", buy a drink in the bar and see the track.
