    DANG, Chris T, I wanted to be the first to review Polebridge Hostel! This place rocks…read more This is a hostel in the true tradition. Its rustic, welcoming and peaceful; the scenery is wonderful. Its a great place to rest after exploring Glacier Natl. Park. I've stayed here a few times, twice by myself and once with my mom who loved it! Its worth the seemingly never-ending drive over the gravel washboard road to get there. Once on my drive there, I came upon a bear sitting in the middle of the road, and just drove slowly around it, hoping it didn't want to come sit on my little car. I stayed in the main hostel lodge, and as we first walked in, I remember being charmed by the fireplace. As twilight approached, it was recommended we go to the restroom - outside and a short walk - in the light. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but the outhouse is one of the best features of the place. Back in the lodge, there were lamps to be lit, and i had a bath in a huge claw-foot tub. We watched a short movie (generator?) and hit the hay. We sat in the kitchen in the morning and chatted with other hostelers. Cozy, comfy, and I felt like I was in a gold miner's lodge at the turn of the century. Be advised, this hostel is rustic but its one of my favorite hostels I've had the privilege of staying. If you can't handle an outhouse or bears, wolverines, swooping eagles, no electricity and log cabins, think twice and find a motel away from the stillness of the woods. But if you miss it, you've missed great fun and an experience you will always remember.

    I stayed here eons ago. It was a perfect quiet rustic place in the early 1990s. I am so glad it…read moreis still a hostel!

    This was a budget friendly hotel option at the base of Glacier National Park so we knew going into…read moreit that it would be no frills but all we could hope for was a clean and simple room. Luckily, it was a clean and simple room. The building itself reminded me of church camp - the room didn't have bunkbeds but it wouldn't be surprising if they did ;) The location neighboring the fancier skiing resorts (walking distance) was lovely for the views, trails and mini stores. Unfortunately, the thing that didn't make us love C'mon Inn was the lack of COVID safety precautions. The staff was half-heartedly wearing masks (some did / some did not), and none of the other guests we encountered were wearing masks. We thoroughly sanitized our own room but it didn't feel that this was a top priority for this hotel as it wasn't communicated. Overall, it got the job done but it's too bad they aren't taking the pandemic more seriously for their guests' safety.

    Great place! Rooms are comfortable, clean and breakfast is prepared fresh and generous. There is…read morea common area with a fireplace. Breakfast room is open all day with a microwave and coffee. People are friendly, the atmosphere seems to encourage conversations and friendliness. Staff are very helpful and know about the area. Rebecca encouraged us to try cross country skiing. Cross country ski trails are accessible from the lower lodge. Almost forgot the hot tub! Good to soak the sore muscles at the end of the day.

    Pay whatever but stay somewhere else. Check-in process was…read morefelt similar to the booking process at the county drunk tank. Very strange people roaming hallways that made us nervous. Room was under construction and unfinished. When I asked about the air conditioning, the clerk came to the room and huffed about having to change from heating to cooling, 'you can't have both.' AC was a window unit stuck through the wall and not plugged into the wall. Even if I connected it, it only works with the heat disconnected. Luggage cart looked like an industrial wagon and I had trouble moving it empty. Shower was a hodge-podge of amature plumbing (saving grace was a good shower head) that was wonkety to use. The window had been replaced some time ago but no one bothered replacing the trim - raw sheet rock that looked like it was crudely broken into shape. Outside of the building was grossly peeling paint and faded signage. We were really uncomfortable at the property and checked out early.

    First of all, to not have to leave a $200 cash deposit at the front desk. They can't take a major…read morecredit card. How do I know I'm getting my money back. I ended up losing $130 on a reservation I made because I'm not going to leave more money. However, there was no refund either because I went through some other site which is horrible. I live in this valley and they were not this way before. Must be new ownership. Either way watch out not a good spot!!
