Very much enjoyed staying here the night before we went to Many Glacier. Mark and crew were super helpful and let us store our bags in the store all day because it was raining and we were in a pickup. Dining options are limited in East but the pizza place was good. Units 1 and 2 are connected and have a small kitchen so you can cook.

Whistling Swan was a very nice, reasonably priced location near the Two Medicine entrance to Glacier Park. Check in was easily accomplished at the mercantile and the clean rooms were very comfortable. Thanks to the family owners, we hope to be back!

The inside was clean, but the bathroom was very small. The window by the bed hed no full screen, but just a small portable screen that we had to remove in order to lock the window. Otherwise anyone could have raised the window from the outside & removed the screen & climbed in the window. The exterior was unkept & parking was cramped. We had to go a couple of blocks down the street to a business to check in.

Decent stay
The room wss clean. The room was rustic. Beds were fairly comfortable. Some reviews were bad some were good. Adjust your expectations and you will be fine. The train station is across the street, yes you will hear it. It is not the four seasons, but the care takers were kind and the place was cute.

The property looks quite old from outside, but really clean and convenient from inside. The only comment is the very small washroom with the sink outside in the kitchen area. The place surprisingly has a full kitchen including a stove and a full size fridge. They also provided utensils, pans, plates and cups.

Arrived early in the night; limited signage of parking and lobby. No one in the office; had to go a block to a business to obtain room key. Large bathroom! Limited access to electrical outlets in the sleeping area.

We liked this motel. Not much parking space but nice cute place. There are a few places to eat in town. Close to Two Medicine park entrance. Fairly close to Saint Mary too.

Been here several times before over the years, check in is at the grocery store, convenient and laid back, we’ve never had a bad stay here. Exactly what we need while traveling through.

Eclectic small property. Our room was one of the original older ones with very quaint touches. Loved the wood throughout and the crazy doors. We stayed just a night while passing through but it was great for our needs.

Few options in Glacier
There are so few options for accommodations in Glacier but perhaps it’s best to stay at the lodge if you book early enough and can swing it. Whistling Swan was clean and the bed was comfortable. However the room was very small, no soap/shampoo/kleenex/coffee or anything in the room, and located on a sketchy street where you can hear the loud sounds of trains during the night.

The whistling swan Inn is a quaint property. We were surprised at first and didn’t think we would have adequate parking, but we did. It is an older facility, but it was comfortable and surprisingly quiet being on the main highway. We found it to be clean and spacious, except for the bathroom, which was rather small. My only concern was probably the fact that sometimes when I plugged something into the socket, the plug fell out. I have to say that the owners were very pleasant and accommodating. Our TV would not work and the owner came and stayed for a good while trying to get it to come online.

Don't judge a book by it's cover!
When we arrived, there was a note on the door telling us to go down a couple blocks to the store to find the person to check us in. Ok. So we drove around the back, through the alley to go around the block. The back of that place looks like it is a building in a 3rd world country. The front is not too much better. We checked in at a quaint little country store, and the people were so nice. So we went back, and were really skeptical, but knew that we wouldn't find anywhere else to stay, so we were just praying it wasn't as bad as we thought. The door to our room didn't match the others, so we weren't even sure it was the right door until we walked up and saw the number. We couldn't get our vehicle up to it because there was an ancient looking snow machine parked in the way (the only complaint I have, by the way). We opened the door, so afraid of what we were going to find, and voila! What a shock! It was cute, and clean, and the beds were comfortable. I was floored! Beautiful knotty pine walls and ceiling, and the bathroom seemed to be newly remodeled. It was so cozy. Don't be afraid to stay here! It's not fancy, but it's clean as a whistle and charming. I was going to add photos, but the Hotels app is apparently having some technical issues, and won't let me.

Room not ready at 3pm as listed, waited to 4pm. Breakfast not available at 8am as we were told, sat in dining area for another 40 min. No AC, rooms were hot. Price of oneeightyfour for a weekday night seemed a tad high for this level lodging.
