"The location of this place simply can't be beat. Paddle Ridge is located less than a mile from the entrance to Glacier National Park and most other places are 10-25 miles away. In fact, since we stayed there during the busy season, the line to enter the park actually backs up to the entrance to Paddle Ridge in the morning.
We stayed at the lodge and I will say the rooms, while perfectly clean, are about as basic as they come. I did feel like the place was a bit misrepresented online. It is advertised as having a bar and coffee shop/cafe. There is a bar area in the shared area upstairs, but it's not like a bar with a bartender or drinks you can purchase--just a space one would call a bar. Fine, I don't mind buying my own, but it was not what it sounded like. Same with the cafe/coffee shop: it's a Keurig coffee machine.
The Lodge has a full kitchen in the community area of the lodge, but it has no plates, bowls, silverware (plastic or otherwise), etc. The only amenities guests are allowed to use are the Keurig coffee machine, fridge, toaster and microwave. So, I'm not sure what the point of the kitchen is. Basically, it's the same amenities of your average hotel room, but inside full kitchen that you can't use.
Every employee we interacted with was super nice and the views from the lodge were divine every night. Each room has two Adirondack chairs outside the room and each night the guests hang outside their rooms to enjoy the sunset and scenery."
"our room and I assume all the rooms were very very basic small rooms. no closet space, just 8 hooks on the wall. granted its considered a historical site but it could have some modern fixtures and features in the room. staff were very good and most helpful. location was great for access to Glacier NP. the restaurant which is open for dinner i would rank as a 4+."
"Beautiful room and grounds. Can't get a nicer place with air conditioning any closer to Park entrance. It was perfect for pur trip!
No TV.
No in-room coffee maker (just hot water maker and instant tea/coffee) but on-site café opens at 8am. Coffee there is excellent with tons of options.
We were a group of 3 women. Large, clean, lovely bathroom. One of us each night (8-9pm) had a cold shower. Lodge water heater couldn't keep up with all the guests showering simultaneously.
Bed mattresses are firm. Very nice bedding, towels, etc. Classy place overall."
"This is a fantastic option for a family of four adults. The cabins have one bedroom and a queen size pullout couch. Loved walking to the “downtown” area of west glacier for pizza, live music, shopping and ice cream. You get what you pay for and the convenience is unmatched in location. Absolutely would stay here again!
Very clean property and many amenities."
"They were very accommodating and stayed in the office a little bit later for us arriving late. The cabins were nice and clean. I would stay here again."
