In Sept 2012 my wife and i had a fantastic three week vacation in Glacier and Yellowstone parks. I booked all motels along the way from tripadvisor recommendations and was not disappointed with any. West Glacier was the fifth and sixth nights of our journey. When I called to inquire about a reservation I told the nice lady on the... More

We spent one night on the west side of Glacier National Park. Visa Motel was a reasonably priced and quite decent place to stay. I am satisfied with the choice of booking at room there. Following are some details that may be of interest to future travelers considering the motel. It's right next to the highway and very close to... More

The Vista Motel definately shows its age. Our room was clean, but smelled mildewy. The furnishings were older. The bathroom was small and when I used the shower for the first time, there was a nasty, large yellow booger stuck to the soap dispenser. The room door had about a 3/4 inch gap away from the floor. I was worried... More

We were booked in a king cabin, but when we checked in the friendly lady at the desk let us know that it was "small and rustic" and that a motel room with kitchen was available for the same price. After looking at the cabin, which was super small with a king bed that took up the whole room, we... More

Loved our stay here - the new Costco beds were so comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. Cannot say enough about the friendly, helpful staff. They really want you to feel at home. The continental breakfast was served in a lovely outbuilding overlooking the mountains - just wonderful!!!

We found Vista to be quite a cozy and friendly place to stay. We actually enjoyed the rumbling of the freight trains across the street - it added to the rustic feel of the area. Our queen room - number 7 - was a bit small, but clean and comfortable. Soothing wood paneling, well lit, heated up quickly in the... More

The location of Vista Motel is good for touring Glacier Park. Some reviewers complain about the train noise but I cannot say it disturbed us. We had a two bedroom chalet. My main complaint is that the rooms were very cold. We turned the heating on but it was not efficient enough for the whole chalet and there was no... More

We stayed here so we could do the west side of the park however if I'd know more about West Glacier and the busy main road and trains I'd have stayed longer on the peaceful east side. Unfortunately the train track runs through West Glacier and lots of trains go through during the night and hoot every time they enter... More

Thank you for your review, we apologize for the noise level from the trains. We are so glad you enjoyed our continental breakfast and the view from the motel during sunset; the night sky in West Glacier is quite spectacular. We hope that you will recommend us to friends traveling to West Glacier in the future. More

I would definitely stay here again. Some of the previous reviews mentioned the train noise. It is in fact across the street from the tracks but your choices are to pay 2-3 times more to stay in the park, or stay in Kalispell as all the rest of the hotels/motels run around the outside of the tracks, as does the...

Stayed here for 4 nights, two nights on each end of our 11-day trip to Glacier NP. The location is very convenient to the west entrance of the park. The room was clean, beds were comfortable. Nice view of the mountains. Loved the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel dispenser in the shower! Towels were fluffy. Continental breakfast was great and rare... More
