West Glacier Hotels

Just left after staying for 3 nights while visiting Glacier National Park and definitely worth 5 stars. We needed a pet friendly place for our frenchie and this place really was worth the money. For the price we paid, we stayed in a room right next to the main office/lobby. There are 2 units here and we figured it's to keep the dogs away from the other guests who are staying in the main 2-level inn (looks like a motel with log cabin flare). We liked our stay here. Easy parking right outside our place, with plasma screen tv, double queen beds, small fridge and microwave and coffee maker and hairdryer. The shower was decent and the beds were comfortable. The place was super cozy and you turn on the heater for 15 min and that'll keep you comfortable all night. The big thing for me was the room was quiet. We rarely heard the people next door (only heard the dog collar jingling a few times). The 2 units has an adjoining door so if you want connecting rooms, maybe you'll get lucky and get these two. The morning of our departure, we missed muffin morning by over 1.5 hours but when I asked, the manager kindly grabbed a bunch and wrapped it to go! It was really kind. This place also has RV park with showers, cabins (provide your own linens) and looks like the set up for teepees in the summer so it can meet anyone's travel needs. Adirondack chairs and patio seats in the front lawn and just sit and relax. Honestly, we paid over 3 times the price staying at Yellowstone in a hotel with thin walls right before we arrived here - this place is worth it. Short drive to west entrance of GNP and 20 min easy drive to Kalispell, one of the biggest cities in that part of Montana. A&W practically 3 min walking (we got a root beer float our first night!). This isn't a major chain hotel/resort. This isn't vegas and it's not meant to be fancy. It's a family run business, is basic but is a comfortable stay while being close to a popular national park. We've stayed at far worse places while on our road trip across the U.S. for over twice the cost so with all factors taken into account, I think they deserve the 5 stars.

Very clean, and close to Glacier National Park. This hotel is tucked in between some mountains, so there is even a lovely view.
