What an amazing place to stay and so close to Glacier! We spent a few hours in Glacier and then drove minutes to our stay at Paddle Ridge. Check in was simple and our rooms were warm, and comfortable. I must admit that the lobby with its big fireplace, huge windows to enjoy the tremendous views, and tables for enjoying a late night snack or play a board game made the hotel much more cozy.

Paddle Ridge is the closest lodging to the West Entrance to Glacier. It was so nice to be so close to the entrance. We went off season so there was hardly anyone around.The surroundings were beautiful and serene. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of bath towels and tissue boxes. The shades blacked out ambient light.

Great vacation spot!
It was the perfect location to get in and out of GNP. The staff were very helpful and we loved being able to fish right outside our door!

Maybe the closes property to west glacier entrance, did not expect dual level property with 2 bedroom and spacious living room with kitchen.
Great for big group travellers, its too big for 3 of us only.
You can book activities in the lobby as well

Great stay
I loved Paddle Ridge! The hotel was easy to find and close to Glacier National Park. My only real complaint is that there were no blackout curtains and the sunrise in the summer is early.
