This place is quite nice overall though with some caveats. Location is quiet and not too far from Many Glacier park entrance. Nothing in the area nearby so it’s quiet but just a place to relax after leaving the park. Individual rooms off two corridors at either long side of the building. Nothing fancy but efficient. The AC units are window units at either end of the hallways so leaving the window open during the day allows the room to cool. A bit noisy to leave it open at night so rooms in mid portion of the building will be quieter but warmer. WiFi signal varies between locations in rooms and room to room but always seemed to be available. It is, however, very slow so one has to really temper one’s expectations. Downloads can be an issue at the best of times so it’s kinda off the grid while not being totally so. Perhaps they have to use dial up connection from their router to the service provider due to the extremely rural nature of the property as I doubt cable gets there (no TV so it doesn’t do that) and I saw no satellite dish. Quality food options on the east side of the park are quite limited. Nothing remotely approaching fine dining or healthy eating (depending on your habits). Reviews of places also tend to be overly optimistic for St Mary’s locations and Babb area.

This is a fine place to stay for a couple nights. The beds are comfy & the shower is nice. There is a microwave available as well as a coffee maker. Our WiFi didn’t work getting to this hideaway but the motel had WiFi and no tv.

Don’t judge a book by its cover

Located in a farming area outside of Babb , and a couple of miles off the main highway and accessed by a decent gravel road . About 15 minutes from the two restaurants in the Babb area . Exterior of “motel”very unwelcoming on appearance, but room was clean , well appointed and the bed was comfortable . About 15 miles from Canadian border and less than an hour from Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta Canada. Also about an hour from East Glacier Village . Good accommodations at a reasonable cost if you want to visit each NP. Waterton Lakes is incredible and not too crowded in mid August .

Stayed four nights as a family

We stayed there for a total of 4 nights with 2 rooms/night as a family. Overall, it was a clean and comfortable place. Because there are no cell phone coverages, we needed to rely on their wifi, but the wifi was not reliable in some rooms. We had to buy breakfast groceries the day before because they do not provide. The room service is minimum. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the stay overall.

Family stayed here while on the east side of Glacier. Hotel was great for what it is. There is not a lot of options once outside the park. The hotel is out in the middle of nowhere but the rooms were clean and the staff very friendly. We would stay here again.

Hooks Hideaway is clean and comfortable with helpful staff. It's not a highway hotel, as the name suggests. The scenery is beautiful, and the grounds are well maintained. I spent a lot of time in the gazebo.

This place is so far off the beaten path its ridiculous. Traveled on 3 miles of dirt roads & through an area where heavy equipment was working. This place barely has the basics of what you would expect, no TV, no microwave(had to go out it the hall for that) no outlet by the bed to plug in CPAP. On the plus side it was clean.

This little motel is down a dirt road adjacent to a huge irrigation project. We were exhausted when we got there. It is VERY humble but immaculately clean, quiet and pleasant. It lacks some of the amenities of larger hotels but that is fine. It is on the Blackfoot reservation and I expect that it helps support the local area.

If you want to visit glacier, find another hotel in east side. This motel had really poor internet connection with no cellphone connection. I missed a shuttle ticket to many glacier because of the poor internet connection. The room only had minimum things, no drawer, super small shower room, tiny sink, so if you are planning to stay with your family, this is not the option for you.
