Stayed at a cabin here when visiting Glacier National Park. The location is perfect, as it's literally right down the road about 1-2 minutes from the park. It was confusing about where to check-in, but the process was easy. The cabin was clearly very old, but it was clean. It met our needs, although it was the cabin furthest to the side of the group and the wifi didn't work half the time.

We stayed in the two bedroom cabin. The kitchen was infested with ants. The back door looks like an animal or human has tried to break in. The air conditioner units barely worked in July. Had to drive to another motel for check in, ice, towels, etc. Housekeeping was friendly though. Has the potential to be a great place to stay with some small changes.

Currently staying here, July 2020. We checked in last night and discovered our bathroom window does not close or lock, and it is a ground floor room. Anyone could easily get into the room through it. Came back to our room today to find housekeeping had left our door unlocked! I called the front desk to inform them and they said "we have elderly people who clean our rooms so sometimes they forget things". In my opinion that is not something that should be forgotten. The desk clerk also implied that they thought we had checked out, which is impossible because our belongings are all over the room

Good location (2 minute drive from the park) but expensive for what it is. Overall had a pleasant stay. Pros: rooms were clean, very accommodating staff and also with our late check-in of 10pm, and fridge in room. Cons: thin walls so a lot of noise from highway, other tenants, and the train that seems to run by every few hours.

Best customer service bar none!
I had the pleasure of staying at the Vista motel for a week in July. I knew it was rustic when I booked the reservation and it did not disappoint. The room was clean and met my needs. A community room was available for lounging or connecting to WiFi.
The ladies at the desk were fantastic. Very welcoming and unbelievably accommodating. Really made it feel warm and inviting.
Should I venture that way again, I will definitely be back.

We reserved 2 nights at the Vista Motel. Check-in was simple and the price was reasonable versus the expensive lodges inside the park. We specifically reserved a room with a small kitchenette. We got Room #9. We were happy with the room. We parked right outside our room. Low ceiling but clean. There is a new small air-condition unit. Bathroom is a bit cramp but efficient. The small bathroom sink was not a big deal since there is another sink in the room. There is also a microwave, small fridge, and coffee maker. The morning breakfast included fresh coffee and muffins. There is a BBQ grill, we used

I'm giving this place 4-stars for what it is: a clean, inexpensive, no frills place to stay.
We recently stayed here during our visit to Glacier Park, reserving 3 rooms in total. Two of the rooms had 1-king bed, the other was a 2-room cabin. The king rooms lacked A/C, but they each had at least 2 fans to help cool the rooms down. The motel staff was very helpful and friendly and provided a light snack in the morning to get you started.
I would stay here again, but I will request a room with A/C.

Stayed here in August of 2014 in Cabin 22. Was super clean & comfy! The cabin was super small but the king size bed made up for it! We had made an earlier reservation but cancelled, thinking that we were staying with friends and then had to re-reserve. We may have gotten a larger cabin had we stuck with our original reservations. Staff was friendly and home made Huckleberry muffins with coffee in the morning were great! The proximity to the West Glacier National Park entrance, helicopter tours and Glacier Distillery were an added plus! Would definitely stay here again!

We got to Glacier late, and the closest campgrounds were full, so we were very relieved to find a motel so close to the west entrance of the park. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but our room was clean and comfortable. Our room had 3 queen size beds, which is nice for a family of 5. The continental breakfast was simple, but with outside covered tables with a beautiful view. It isn't fancy; small bathroom; no tv; but it served our needs well.

My wife and i stayed here mid September 2011 for two nites and were quite pleased. As many of the motels in the area do, The Vista closes for the season about late September because the park itself pretty much shuts down then also. They are located a mile or so west of the entrance to the park on highway 2, but you hear very little road noise. This is an older (1950's ?) motel that has been upgraded inside, but certainly still shows its age on the outside which we really enjoyed.
When I called to make a reservation I mentioned I have a bad leg, and would appreciate an accessible bathroom

I am planning a tirp to Glacier National Park next month (September). I booked a reservation and was told that they would email me a confirmation which they never did. Later that day I changed my mind (decided to stay in the park). When I called (the same day) the woman at the front desk asked why I was canceling the reservation. I told her it was because I decided I wanted to stay inside the park she said "You should have done your research before you called. You have wasted a lot of our time." I then asked her to email me a confirmation that my reservation was canceled and she said

Stopped in late to try to find a motel in West Glacier, Mt. Saw alot of "No Vacancy" signs. Started to drive to Hungry Horse, Mt. and saw the Vista Motel. They had a room and were very nice. The rooms were very clean and it had a great view of the sunset over Glacier National Park. Great coffee and toast in the morning and the motel is located within a half mile of the entrance to Glacier National Park.
