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.
