The owner is incredibly hospitable and friendly, which made our stay very welcoming. There’s also a restaurant at the inn serving delicious and authentic Chinese food. The room was clean and comfortable, and the internet was surprisingly fast thanks to Starlink. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this inn!

A very nice and remote area. We stayed in the caboose and it was great. You are near the historic rail way so trains do run near but that did not bother us. The food at the tavern was very good and the portions were large.

A small place off the highway. Had a little kitchen next door and had a hot meal after a long day. Room was cozy. Only negative is trains do run behind the property in the middle of the night and the hwy is in in the front. We knew ahead of time and had ear plugs and slept great. Would definitely stay again

Secluded cabin, it was cozy. We were there during fall so we used ac during the day but there was no heat source in the room for the chilly morning. The staff there are awesome and the cafe has great Asian food. It’s a little pricey but given the location it was probably fair. I look forward to my next stay!

We loved staying at Glacier Haven Inn. It is a family run business and they were so kind to us. The cabin was very cute and quaint. The cabin we stayed in didn’t have a bathroom but the bath house was right next store and very clean. I was impressed with how well maintained and clean everything was. It is very close to the Glacier east entrance, only about 15 minutes away. The restaurant on the property has very good homemade Chinese food as well. All around we loved our stay!

We had an easy check-in, staffs were accomodating. Our room is well kept,they changed our towel and took our trash everyday. The place is located by the highway and behind has a train railway track. We can hear train and cars passing through but we were able to sleep otherwise. I found mess under our bed which seems to be there for a quite a while,and cobwebs. What I also like is the place nestled approximately 25 mins away from west entrance and 35 mins away from st mary entrance. On our 2nd day we use the west entrance til logan pass on our 3rd st mary all the way to west entrance. Just hope they will clear the back side since the grass is already by the window. Recommend this place.

This is a family owned and operated little motel, a long time in business. For the value, I would recommend it. But I would also highly recommend you leave your porch light on all night. Someone tried to get into my room with their keys that obviously matched their door and not mine. Scared the hell outta me. I watched this dark-hooded figure try to key in and eventually come back with a flashlight, discover they were at the wrong door and then leave. Probably harmless, but I couldn't fall asleep after that. Otherwise, the hotel is right by the highway, Amtrak trains at night, and thin walls between rooms. Probably safe enough, just can be noisy.

Quiet location. Friendly staff. Saves a ton of time getting into Glacier National Park since most of the traffic comes from the opposite direction. There is not much around it, but a great place to unwind after a long day of hiking.

Roadside motel - "vintage". Cabins were a signifcant price uptick. some road noise until dark and active traintracks maybe 50 yards from the room. Very soft mattresses and antique looking quilts on the beds - not sure when they were last cleaned. Not much nearby and the dining room only opened at 5pm with very limited menu. Interestingly, we looked out out window after hearing a "pop" and saw a guy walking around with a 22 rifle! Would not recommend

The room was clean. Bed was comfortable. This is a small motel right along the side of the road. We selected because of location near Glacier NP and that worked out well. However, no wifi in the room, had to go into parking lot or restaurant and no phone service Behind the motel are train tracks so between the road noise in front (70 mph speed limit & plenty of trucks) and train noise at night, it was not a quiet location. The HVAC system was wonky. Heat set off the fire alarm so we ended up turning it off. We paid for location and got it but overall value was OK at best.
