Rooms are clean and well equipped. The staff is nice. The check in is 2 blocks down the street from the address of the hotel as stated by a note on the window of the actual hotel.It would have been nice to know this before driving all day and being at the wrong address than check in. We called 24 hours in advance to confirm the reservation but was not told that the hotel address is not the same as the check in address.

Run down looking from the outside although planters had been filled which improved the appearance. Limited parking on site. Was awoken in the night by a very loud bang and saw in the morning a van had ploughed into the back of a car (probably a guests) on the street outside causing considerable damage and was left in situ. Walls are thin. Couldn’t get to sleep due to a man next door constantly clearing his throat and also what sounded like gun shots nearby. Very long goods trains rumble through the town all night. Clean bedding but thin. Towels clean and thick but bathroom dirty, shower disgusting. Not been cleaned for a very long time. Body hair left behind and grime all along the seals and floor edges. I could wipe some of it away with just toilet paper so no excuse for not giving it a bleaching and a scrub. Room dusty too and we couldn’t get the tv to work. WiFi was ok.

Disappointed with the room.

I knew when I booked this that they were $$ less but the room was very small, and the bathroom was very small. There was no deadbolt lock - only the one on the doorknob that could have been easily broken into. I pushed my open suitcases in front of the door at night. The only positive on this stay was the friendliness of the towns people and the room was clean. There were only two pillows and they were very flat.

The bed was pretty comfortable. There is a smart TV, The linen are nice. That’s about the only thing good about this place. The carpet has been on the floor since at least 1970. The bathroom sink doesn’t drain. The shower floor is dirty. There was a clawfoot tub but it doesn’t work. The train track is just across the street and it. runs often even during the night.

loved my stay

I stayed in E Glacier to avoid the prices of Whitefish, and I’m so glad I did! Whistling Swan is clean, comfortable and calm. Good restaurants nearby, especially the Two Medicines Grill. It’s an Excellent departure point for Glacier and surrounding reservation. The Blackfeet are so friendly and welcoming. Don’t miss the Glacier tour with Mountainchief Taxi Co.

It is a nice enough place EXCEPT it has birds nesting in the wall, so it is VERY noisy when it is light outside, as early as 5:30 am and as late as 10:30 pm. This was a room with two queen beds. There are many birds and babies crying for food. They put a hole in the back of the wall maybe so they can fly out. But they need to work on removing them. Also there is no dead lock on the door. And there is a large space beneath the door so animals (like mice) can easily crawl in. And early in the morning (5:30 or 6) two motorcycles were leaving and while warming up all the fumes came in under the door. Bring ear plugs and a large towel to put in front of the door. Not sure what a visitor can do to secure the door given the lock they have.

I want to be truthful in this review. It just was not a good place to stay. I was in room 4. First of all, it is right next to train tracks. A loud freight train passes through what feels like every hour, even at night. It is really hard to ignore, especially when you’re a light sleeper. Check-in was also strange. There is no front desk or staff on site. You have to walk down the block to a grocery store to get your key. Maybe that is normal for the area, but as someone from a city, it caught me off guard. The room itself had several issues. The glass door on the shower was not secure. It moved up and down like it was not properly installed. The doorknob to the room also felt unsafe, it rotated no matter which way you turned it, so you could not tell if it was actually locked—you had to open the door and check from the outside. The toilet seat also had strange scratches and looked like it had not been replaced in a long time. It just did not feel clean or taken care of. I have been on a road trip from Denver to Seattle, stopping through the national parks, and out of all the places I have stayed, this was by far my least favorite. The owner did seem very kind, which is the only reason I am giving this two stars instead of one. But I would not stay here again. Just being honest.
These glass was not properly secure and would move up and down
This ring of scratches went around the toilet seat

It is a good room, but rather dated. Needs some upgrades. I stayed for only 1 night, so it was alright. It's probably best for a solo traveler who is looking for a night or two.
