This was a very cute, charming property. The rooms were very small and a bit outdated, but super clean, and convenient to that side of Glacier NP. The best thing was the owner while checking me in - he was super friendly, and had great advice on where to eat, and other services in East Glacier, he was the best!

The room was small, but the bathroom was really small. At 5'9" tall my knees just barely fit between the toilet and the shower wall, with the corner sink at my left elbow. Be sure to ask about the size of the bathroom if you're a taller person. The staff was fantastic and the room was very clean.

Property was clean and ready for us. It was pretty quiet, with the exception of the random train passing through now and then. You couldn’t really hear it from our room though. It was just what we needed as a home base for the weekend.

Very very old and small rooms. It’s a motel that probably dates from the 1940s. No toiletries. Clean enough but not spotless. Pay more and find a better choice. Owner who runs the nearby Trading Post was nice, but that’s it.

The rooms were cleverly laid out with adjoining rooms by way of the kitchen. It was a tight fit, but dinning area did accommodate our family of four. The smoke detector was extra sensitive and a lot of the cooking utensils were absent, which had I not come prepared with my own I would have had a difficult time. An oven with nothing to bake in, is of no use.

The Whistling Swan Motel may have the most quaint charm of any motel in America. Located on the Rez, this motel makes you feel like a part of the community. The gentleman running the hotel also runs the general store in town, and that’s where you’ll check in for your stay. The rooms themselves are definitely dated, but they have a rustic vibe that fits exactly what I was looking for to accompany my time inside of Glacier NP. They are small, but packed with all of the amenities you would expect (except for AC, they have fans in each room). The motel is a short walk to the lodge where most of the shuttles pick up from, and if you make the walk you may find yourself escorted by one of the lovely rez dogs, who are citizens and beloved locals. During my stay the motel was advertising a book written by a local author, and I was able to purchase a signed first edition at the general store which I am loving! All of this to say, it’s small and not super fancy, but I absolutely loved my time here and will be staying here again any time I visit Glacier in the future.

We needed a room for just one night and the staff were very friendly. The room was pretty clean with the exception of a water bottle near the bed and an empty toilet paper roll and used dental floss left on the floor under the bathroom sink. I have long legs and was unable to sit straight forward on the toilet because the toilet is too close to the shower wall. There is a coffee pot, coffee, cups, microwave, mini fridge and fan in the room. The bed wasn’t bad but the mattress felt as though it sunk in the middle. All in all, it was a decent place.

No one was at the office to check us in. The note on the door said to go two blocks down the street to the grocery store or trailer park. We did not get a good feeling about the location so we drove another 2 hours and found a different hotel.
