They were incredibly helpful during our stay going above and beyond in helping guide us in our decisions with GNP hiking and local dining. Our room was super clean, comfortable, and had all the essentials. In fact, they even loaned us a screwdriver for a few days to help us tighten hiking poles during our trip :) I love the fact there is a second sink/vanity area in the space ...super helpful and convenient. While I know they can't control this....we found all the people staying at the motel equally friendly in the common area and it made it such an overall warm and welcoming experience! Ryan is filled with local/park knowledge, and both he and Rachel were a pleasure to interact with during our stay.

The trout fish dip was heavy on the cream cheese. Black bean burger was yum and the tomato jam that comes with the Warm Bread is delicious. They had one of the best gift shops I've seen during this Montana trip and picked up a bunch of stuff for my loved ones at home. The main lounge has lots of wooden furniture and a big beautiful fireplace. My husband enjoyed playing horseshoe out back and I got my mother in law to play the 1890s piano! Good place to reset with internet service and snacks before you head on back for your nature day.

During initial planning, I overlooked this place: it isn't an official park hotel, so I figured it…read morewas a bland also-ran, overflow for people who didn't plan sufficiently far in advance. But then I learned it's the original grand lodge built by the Great Northern Railway, full of history! In terms of location, it worked perfectly for one night of our trip. It's very convenient for the Two Medicine area of the park. But I wouldn't recommend it as a base for a long visit, it's almost an hour drive to the St Mary visitor center. I'm pretty surprised by the negative reviews here. We stayed in a Main Lodge Value room and found everything clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but everything I expected in the room. And the lobby and common areas were outstanding. There are a ton of great places to sit, the big logs are really impressive, and the grounds are terrific, with flowers, horseshoes, and even a small (lumpy) soccer field. Everyone we encountered were friendly and hardworking. Most surprising are complaints about tiny showers: ours had a neat large clawfoot bathtub with good fixture & curtains to shower. So I guess that isn't a common feature, but it's not like we had a super deluxe room.

I live in California and wanted to make sure that she had a bouquet on her wedding day but there were no companies who would deliver to the lodge's location due to its proximity. I took a chance and called the lodge directly. I left a message thinking that it was a lost cause. Andrew called me back right away. I explained the situation and asked how I could arrange for my daughter to have a bouquet. I was glad to pay whatever it would take to give her this gift. Andrew was very kind and understanding. He offered to drive over and pick up flowers for her. I offered to pay and he refused to let me. He even sent me a text with a photo of the flowers prior to delivering them to the room. I am very grateful and appreciative for Andrew's dedication and understanding. He made a worried mom very happy. Thank you very much Andrew!

We found it close to the first stop, along with a turd in the toilet. We flushed, returned to the first location and requested a different room. The accommodations, with and without turds, were dilapidated : peeling exterior paint, rotten wood...horrific. Interior's were much better than camping for the night TV, cold water, fans, but for the price I may have slept in my car. And, I would have parked much closer to the East entrance to Glacier National Park, which is almost 45 miles from "East Glacier" Motel and Cabins.

Om the first morning, there was a small drive through café across the street which had yummy homemade pumpkin spice coffee but the following two mornings they were closed.

Front desk said they would send the manager who never showed up. Back to the front desk and spoke to the manager who said there were no other rooms available and whose fix was to provide fans. Not a good fix. No other way to cool the room. We had to go elsewhere if we wanted to sleep so we told the manager we wouldn't be staying. He got rude and said we wouldn't get a refund. I asked for the owner's phone number and he said he was out of town and it wouldn't matter anyway. It was apparent to me that the A/C had not been working for a while and they didn't care. They had their money. We spoke with another patron who was not happy with their room either and said all other motels in the area were booked solid. We were at a popular National Park. Also there was little to no cell phone service in the area for both ATT and Verizon. So we were even unable to check other nearby motels for vacancies.

The shower definitely needs some work as does the water temperature; it was either scalding hot or freezing cold (no exaggeration). Needless to say, I must of taken the quickest shower of my life. The only thing that slowed me down was the fact that every time I tried to raise my arm, my elbow hit one of the walls (it was that tiny). Since I only stayed one night, it was do-able. If I planned on stopping through longer, I would possibly consider something a bit more spacious. PS. The lady, Judy, who runs the place is a hoot! She definitely brings a lot of charm to this location.

It is worth staying here just to meet Judy!…read more She breathes joy and warmth into this sleepy little motel, and gives you candid and spot on reviews of the local eateries and attractions. And she is exceedingly accommodating. We arrived at 11pm, no problem, and that night the Amtrak didn't get in until 2am, and she woke up to greet her guest with bells on her toes. But let's make sure we all understand what the Sears Motel is. It is a low budget place to lodge during your explorations of Glacier National Park. This isn't a Hyatt, or even Comfort Inn, this is the cottage your family stayed in at the lake for vacation when you were a kid, minus the kitchenette. We stayed in #8, and found two very comfortable beds, a CLEAN, but small bathroom with excellent water pressure in the shower with plenty of hot water for us all. Let's be real, we only wanted a place to sleep. We explored Glacier from sun up to past sun down for our three days here, and exhausted and needing showers and beds, this was WELL WORTH the budget price. I would enthusiastically recommend this place to anyone who understands this kind of travel with a 12 and 10 year old. A few details: - The units are not air conditioned. There is a fan. We stayed here during the hottest June days they ever had in Glacier, and with the door and window open and never needed the fan. - Yes, three is a TV, I think she should get rid of them. We didn't need it, and were annoyed to hear one being used in #7 which was attached to us. Note, we only heard it because their door and our door were open, we did not hear the TV through the shared wall. - The front deck on our unit was a thrill to have every night as we enjoyed a cider or a beer - Eat breakfast at both Luna's and Whistle Stop, breakfasts that were hearty and put a big smile on your face, oh, and the bakery across the street is GREAT If we were annoyed with Judy for anything, anything at all, it was that she didn't wake us to see the Black Bear with cub that was in the campground two mornings in a row. Come on Judy! Unfortunately, unlike everyone else at Glacier while were were there, we didn't see any bears, and the ones in the Sears Motel Campground were as close as we got. Seriously, for us this was a great find for our family travels out west to Glacier and back, and not only would I recommend the place for the traveler with the proper mindset, we would enthusiastically stay here again, and very much hope we do again some day. PS... The gift shop is filled with treats too! Don't skip it if you are there.
