Very clean and convenient place to stay near West Glacier. It was a short walk to the restaurants and shops and a short drive to the entrance to Glacier. Loved the breakfast. Only thing I would change is choosing a room upstairs instead of downstairs as the people upstairs were stomping (probably just walking, but noise travels) a lot.

Outstanding spacious room with comfortable bed and a good shower. The usual amenities were provided. Appreciated the closet. Space with hangers, the desk and fold out luggage holder. Access to a back forest area to watch critters in the morning. Ice machine and excellent muffins and breakfast burritos and coffee with real milk/cream. Wish I could have stayed longer.

We had a wonderful stay! Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was very clean, the bed was super comfortable. Loved the rustic lodge ambiance but with all the amenities. Very cozy and quiet but minutes to Glacier National Park entrance. Breakfast (included) was great! There are also several restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

Brian the caretaker was the best. Homemade breakfast burritos were delicious. Just outside the west glacier entrance. The building shows its age, but who cares? It’s Glacier!

This is a great place to stay when visiting Glacier. The rooms are really comfortable and spacious. Our room was on the ground floor and had a small private outdoor sitting area in the back. The hotel is only 12 rooms and is situated away from the more touristy areas in West Glacier. The staff were friendly and helpful. You can book excursions directly through the hotel for rafting, biking, etc. which makes things really convenient. They provide a nice breakfast in the morning with a variety of options. Highly recommended.

I wrote the same review on Google maps, and will paste it here as well.
We had a wonderful stay at Glacier Guides Lodge. The property is located in a beautiful, quiet, and secluded area that feels peaceful while still being conveniently close to West Glacier entrance to the park. Our room was spotless, with very comfortable beds and impeccably clean linens. The lodge itself has a warm, homely atmosphere, with a cozy lounge filled with books and games, plus a lovely patio adorned with flowers and comfortable chairs where guests can relax. Brian, the manager, was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was outstanding, and the breakfast burritos were unexpectedly one of the highlights of our stay! We also appreciated that the staff were happy to accommodate special food allergies when notified in advance. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend Glacier Guides Lodge to anyone visiting the area.
