Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.
The accommodation at East Glacier Motel & Cabins was unavailable due to seasonal closings however we were directed to the Dancing Bears Inn where we were welcomed and treated beyond expectations!
The motel was clean and quaint. The beds were comfy and the room was very clean. The best part was the girl at the desk who's name was Hal. She was so sweet and nice and knowledgeable about the area. She even offered us a ride back to the train station in her truck since I have a breathing issue and the sidewalk was steep. Thank you again Hal!
It is close to Glacier Park Lodge (opposite side of road), just across from the rail station (Amtrak). It is quiet inside, well equipped and far cheaper than Glacier Lodge. You can pay with card. There is a restaurant in the back of the motel and a small but well equipped grocery store (they even have souvenirs and books). There is coffee machine in the room!
We stayed in a cabin which is a quarter mile from the main motel. Our cabin, number 8, had an amazing view out the back window and each bedroom had its own bathroom. It was a good value for the price!
This place ended up to be way more than I expected from a small town motel! That's in a positive way that is! The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Everything worked really well. Very hot water! Great water pressure. Microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker. Very soft bed, albeit a little tall. I would recommend this place, especially for its close proximity to Glacier National Park entrances on the east side. 😀
We showed up and they didn’t have any water or electricity and cabins looked like shacks. So they took us to a different motel that was run down also.
I won’t be back
