Grouse Mountain Lodge made for a great home base while exploring Glacier National Park! The…read moreestablishment is well manicured and has a fun rustic cabin decor. Our double queen room was exactly as pictured online. After a long day of travel, falling into the pillowy bed was a dream. While there is no free breakfast available, there is a little coffee style cart in the lobby that offers a nice variety of coffee shop style options. We enjoyed some complimentary coffee and purchased items on the patio overlooking the golf course. There is also a fun little gift shop in the lobby area as well. If you are too tired to venture out for dinner after a long day of activities, Logan's is also located onsite. I think my favorite thing about the lodge is the amenities! Great indoor pool and sauna room with a beautiful hot tub overlooking the golf course. My tired muscles happily parked themselves in the hot tub after a long day of hiking! So the only real reason for the loss of a star is due to two minor issues. Issue #1 was the bathroom in our room. Our large walk in shower only had half of a typical sliding glass door. Half of this large shower was just exposed leaving us moping up the floor with towels after showers. Very strange! Not sure if this is every room or was specific to us but I didn't care for that. Issue #2 is the fact that there is currently no housekeeping service. I understand that covid is a concern but I think if they can serve unmasked diners in the restaurant, they can send a staff member in to clean while guests are out of the room. The room rate and resort fees are too high to eliminate basics. I didn't get a discount as a result of this so I must deduct a star. Despite the minor inconveniences mentioned, I absolutely enjoyed staying here and already plan to return. I hope the full array of services are made available when I return!

There are 2 wings to the hotel; one of which has nicely renovated rooms that are up to date. The other is not renovated and though very clean is pretty much like an economy hotel. I was charge $300+ and was not happy about this room at all go that cost but that's on me I guess to have made this choice. Checking in - 3 people at the desk, no greeting and only one was doing check ins and it took (not kidding) 15 minutes (management???). Beautiful bar/restaurant that really fits with the Montana vibe. Had drinks here -$20+ for a Negroni? Breakfast option is only a buffet, nothing else. It's ok at best. Nothing unique at all. Cost - $28. The area on one side is gorgeous lining a golf course. Looks like an event facility has been added in the back for weddings etc. beautiful. Transportation to the airport is provided at $23/person. Service at check out was much better. I should mention they have a small indoor pool and an outdoor hot tub.

The hotel itself is a 2 star experience but once you factor in staff services it's a 1 star. The remodel was half hearted and I'll bullet point all my problems with this one night stay in an Executive Room. - Parking fee is $12, website says $10 - Room descriptions inaccurate including bed types and number of TVs. - Odd dirty smell in room and bathroom - No clock, drapes, iron or board, coffee pot, safe, closet, dresser or any type of hanging racking for clothes in room. - Shower floor not level, resulting in water pooling to one corner where it stayed all night. This might explain odd, dirty smell. - Moth inside sheets of king bed, discovered at bed time after pulling sheets back. - No sheets on sofa bed or anywhere in room. Asked front desk for sheets when headed out for dinner, they offered to have housekeeping put sheets on but we declined and asked to get them upon my return. Housekeeping entered room anyway even with do not disturb on door. - TV didn't work nor did telephone when I tried calling down for tech support. - Walk downstairs to ask about TV, given instructions how to reset box but even that didn't work. Asked to move rooms but they were booked up. When I asked for discount, they offered $25 off a $350 rate. I asked for larger discount but was told manager must approve and they'd follow up with me but no one did and no discount provided at all. Later front desk clerk came to room, unplugged and plugged in new cords to get TV working. - Thin walls and windows, heard traffic and drunks leaving the bar across street late into the night and if it's a Wednesday morning you'll hear a dump truck at 6:20am. Through all this never even an apology from any staffer.

The location is wonderful bc it's only 20 minutes from the West Glacier park entrance and tons of nearby hiking as well as the towns of Whitefish and Kalispell which have tons of shopping, dining, and adventure in winter and summer. It's also close to some things in the smaller town of Columbia where it is located like Montana Coffee Traders which you can actually just walk to from the hotel and Cowgirl coffee. There are also gas stations and other shops nearby if you need a few things. The gal at check-in was amazing and kind and had our room ready for us with my third floor request checked in despite our super late check-in (11pm) and they were always happy and greeted us kindly when we came and went. There is a small (2 washers and 2 dryers) laundry room on the 2nd floor where you can wash your clothes. They're old and only have like 2 settings but if your things are funky after long hikes like ours, it's a lifesaver. They sell detergent and dryer sheets in a pack for $2 at the lobby. Prices are extremely fair for this nearby location to the park and for the amenities provided and size of the room. Note: I took a star away bc we stayed four days and they absolutely refused to do a room refresh. At day two I asked to have towels and trash taken care of and was told that we could put the trash outside the room and they would leave fresh towels in a shopping bag by our door. What?! I've been traveling a lot and they're milking the COVID thing for all it is worth. 4 days in a hotel is a long time to have no cleaning whatsoever. I understand every other day, or upon request, but that was a bit much and I didn't like it. Hire the staff, go back to cleaning rooms. We spent two weeks on this trip and this was the only hotel that pulled this crap.

I arrived super early and went to check in knowing there was a big probability I wouldn't be able to get into my room yet. Fortunately, the lady was super accommodating and checked me into a room that was ready. The room is super tiny but it was all I needed since I spent most of my time out exploring. The room was clean and furnished properly and had all the items I could possibly need. The bathroom and shower were small but clean and all of your towels and linens are provided. This location is extremely convenient and legit a 30 second walk from Lake McDonald. The views are spectacular. Each room had a designated parking spot right out front. That was great because I did come and go several times from restaurants and hiking. Due to COVID they are not coming into your room each day to clean but will happily provide you any additional items upon request. I only stayed for two nights so I did not have to request anything. I sent out a few post cards during my stay and the front desk was able to mail them out for me. You are in walking distance to several shops, Eddie's Cafe, water sport rentals and several hiking trails. The price was very reasonable when I booked. I can't wait until the day I can go back again!

We had a queen bed, a small table with two dining chairs, one nightstand, and a small stand with two drawers. There is a basic coffee machine, actually the kind I like as it just makes hot water, some coffee and teabags. Very tiny bathroom will fit one person only with a shower stall - good shower water can get too hot in fact if you are not careful. Good heating which is necessary as temps can be cold during the night even in mid June (daytime is in low 50s when we were here). Not a lot of surface to put stuff on. You have the option of not having housekeeping during the stay which we elected - this way we can spread out a bit more. This is the building closest to registration, store (quite well stocked with snacks and sandwiches etc) restaurant (counter order with mostly sandwiches and burgers and breakfast). One level only, center corridor access, plenty of parking in the back. Well located among trees. Only thing is getting here is 12 miles from the town of Babb and one third of that 12 miles half way in is an extremely dusty unpaved gravel road, the kind you won't won't to keep driving in and out on unless you have to. Which means for the time we are staying here, three nights, we decided not to leave the many glacier area since there are plenty of hiking trails here and several more restaurants in the fancier Many Glacier Hotel - about a mile from Swiftcurrent. Wifi is in the service building only, not in motels and cabins. There is no visitor center here but you can get hiking maps and there is a ranger station between the big hotel and Swiftcurrent. Nell's in the same complex is a counter order seat yourself restaurant. Mostly wraps and sandwiches. We had burger and chicken ceasar wrap. Both average as expected. The wrap skin was really tough so just ate the filling which was tasty enough like a salad. Seating might be a problem at peak times but we were able to find a table. They give you a number and bring the order to you. Orders came pretty fast. Tried breakfast here too which is not bad. As park restaurants go reasonable prices.
