Excellent setting with beautiful views from the road. Check-in was curt. Bed was old and saggy, so poor night’s sleep. Well equipped for a single night.

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.
