The room with two beds was more spacious than I had expected, clean, and comfortable. The narrow parking space was a bit of a concern, but other than that, there were no issues.

Cabin was adorable and comfortable, although the “office” was not located at the site…it was 2 blocks away at the General store. Parking was pretty cramped, but we made it work.

My Amtrak train was due to arrive 5 hours late - 1 AM. I called and explained. They told me they'd text me the room number, leave it unlocked with key inside, and to just leave the door unlocked when my bus left before motel office opening. All went well - Thanks!!!

It’s a motel, so expect basic. The store for check-in is close to the Amtrak station and before you get to the motel anyway. WiFi worked some of the time, which for that area, is pretty good! I didn’t get much Verizon reception. Tiny shower in a tiny bathroom. I don’t think there was an AC unit, but there was a fan. There are 1 or 2 steps to get into the unit, which was manageable with my mobility disabilities. Some areas of the room were dusty/had cobwebs, but for a one night stay, not bad. The best part—I had 2 suitcases and not only did they store them for me while I was on a Glacier Park tour, but Mark kindly had my luggage driven to the store so I wouldn’t have to lug it down 2 blocks in the early morning!!! I can’t thank Mark enough!!!
