We really e joyed our stay at Glacier Haven RV park. The service we received from Steve was amazing, always so friendly and went out if our way to help us when we got locked out of our van. Loved the room too! So cute and Cody. Would definitely stay again and recommend it. Great value for money in a place that can be quite pricey in general. Thank you again!

I stayed in a cabin that hasn’t been updated from the 1700’s. Expensive and staff had more stupid rules the I thought were possible. No bathroom or sinks in cabin. Need to walk to community bath house. 20 miles from Glacier Nation Park was nice. Everything was closed at motel because of Covid. Avoid at all costs

Worst service I have ever delt with! No WiFi, everything was out dated and she charged me $50 for assuming I slept on top of the comforter!!! Absolute worst service! Nothing like letting your guests know your lack of cleaning. I would never recommend or stay there again.

The woman who runs the place has a strange restriction about sleeping in between the blankets. If you sleep on top of the blankets, she'll charge you $50 extra. On its own, this requirement is that bad. But it made me suspicious as to whether or not she was washing both the sheets and the blankets. There also is no WiFi and a train runs right past the building.

The place was clean, however we were lead to believe this was a cabin but it's just a room, the trucks zipping by in the front and the train going during the night in the back made it difficult to sleep. Staff was very nice though!

The rooms were very clean and nice, the price was good... at first. But beware, even with a service dog you will be charged an extra $25 for cleaning. And FYI, they do not give you a heads up about that even when you call ahead of time to make sure it’s all good for your dog. And dont you dare arrive too late. You’ll get charged for that. Don’t sleep on top of the comforter or you can get an extra charge. If you’re taller than 6ft, be prepared to hit your head walking in the room or while attempting a shower. If you have a very wide backside you won’t be able to sit on the toilet. And don’t expect A/C. Although, they do provide a box fan which was a life saver in the middle of July. If you just need a cheap, clean, place to lay your head, this is the place for you.

Very friendly folks , gave me clear directions on how to get there , dinner served between 6-8 and they have a menu of choices. Only drawback is there is no phone or WiFi network here. If your goal is to be cut off from technology this is ok. I was hoping to get some email done and no luck

Owners were very nice people but due to Covid no food, room very small and dark, active railroad in back of motel, so between the train and a road very noisy at night. Vent for dinner at the Resort in Essex, got water, waited 1/2 hr and no one came to give us menu ! So we left. We left Essex after 1st night , East Glacier was closed and nothing to do in Essex after you see a goat lick and if you don't fish..

The property owner and caretaker was very nice, her name was Julie. We were checking in late and we gave her a ring to notify her. She was accommodating and waited for us until 10:30 pm. She checked us in and gave us park recommendations. She also gave us the option to upgrade our camping cabin to the hotel room, which we gladly did. She made sure that every morning she would remake our beds and replenish towels. We tried to minimize her efforts doing laundry and hung up our towels for reuse. But they were still replaced with fresh ones. She does offer a few food items in the store, and during the summer they offer hot food items. The motel is also located in the middle of the park and it makes it super easy to get from one point of the park to another. I definitely recommend it to any traveler!
