The room was spacious with a nice bathroom and kitchen area. What I really appreciated was the small table and chairs outside of the room with gorgeous view of mountains. Motel was within 5-10 minutes of places I wanted to visit as well as village center.

Great Value and Warm Hospitality! I had a great stay at this motel! It's an excellent value for the price — clean, comfortable, and everything worked just as expected. What really stood out to me was the receptionist. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze and offering helpful local tips. It’s the kind of personal touch that makes a big difference. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for affordable, friendly accommodation.

This is a very sweet roadside hotel that is nicely updated and very clean. It isn't fancy, but if your goal is to find a very comfortable, quiet, and nicely apportioned place to stay while doing some of the walks in the Glacier area, this is a solid place to stay.
