We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Great Northern Resort. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The location is perfect, less than 5 min from gate at GNP, which allows for easy access to dining and shopping outside of park. GNR also outfits for river excursions (they are great too)

The property was located near glacier national park! It was peaceful, quiet property! However you had to drive to Columbia falls or whitefish for food/dining or grocery which was atleast 30mins from the property! But overall I loved my stay! The staff was friendly and the room/bathroom were clean!

A very good property. A little different check in process- especially if you were late i.e. past 5:00 pm. But otherwise, the room, location were great.

The room was new and quite nice. When we arrived on the property, it looked old and dirty from the rafting company attached. We were pleasantly surprised by the nice amenities and updated rooms. We stayed in the main lodge which had nice common areas. I would definitely stay here again. Also I would try their rafting service because it would be very convenient not having to drive to another location

I’ve been around the world several times and this is my all-time favorite hotel. My wife, daughter and I stayed in the lodge and it was beautiful, convenient, clean and welcoming. The young lady at the front desk was warm and welcoming and answered all of my questions about the area and Glacier NP. 5 stars all day long and we’ll be back!

Cabins were not clean. Sprinklers would turn on randomly so we couldn't have a fire in the evening. Unkept property, the pond was gross but dyed blue. The only good thing about this stay was the view.

The restaurant needs to expand its menu. It’s really not a restaurant with only five food options.
