We loved this hidden gem. It was so clean, and the property was beautiful. It was perfect after being in Glacier National Park all day. We would 100% stay here again! It had a cabin feel to it and was so cool to stay on a ranch.

The mattresses were surprisingly very good, and the rooms were clean, but lacked a usable closet. There was wifi but none of the five people in our group could get it to work. Wifi in an area as desolate as this is important because cell phone service is also nearly nonexistent.
Also, the bathrooms could benefit from a towel bar and/or robe hooks and a shelf for toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair brushes, etc.

To describe this property as a \"motel\" is quite a stretch; it feels more like an improvised structure that has been hastily converted into guest accommodations. The room itself is exceptionally cramped, and the lack of a proper door for the restroom compromises any reasonable expectation of privacy. Furthermore, the amateur nature of the construction raises valid questions regarding whether the building meets proper fire and safety codes. It leaves the distinct impression of a DIY project rather than a legitimate place of business.

Very clean and quiet. Peaceful location. Our only challenge was limited availability times in the office. I needed to talk with someone about canceling one night’s reservation due to accidental double booking on Expedia by travel agent. It took almost a week to finally get through to a person on the phone. No one responded to my multiple messages left on Expedia messaging portal.

Also, we tried to donate our unused Bear Spray canister the morning we left (around 9 AM). The office was closed and sign on the door said it was not open until 3 PM. We had no choice but to leave it in the room. Hopefully someone got some use out of it and it wasn’t thrown away. That would have been a great loss for $50 full can of unused Bear Spray.

For the price, I expected a much better experience.

• No air conditioning.
• Wi Fi was so weak I could not even stream a podcast.
• No television.
• The back door spring was so tight it slammed every time someone came in or out, waking me up throughout the night.
• The bed frame was wider and longer than the mattress. I stubbed my toes on it almost every time I walked by.
• No hair dryer.

Overall, it was not a comfortable stay, and I would not choose to stay here again.

Hooks Hideout is a hidden gem in the quiet open green fields in Blackfoot Reservation near Babb, MT. It is short distance from Many Glacier and is great for accessing the East side of Glacier NP. It is off the main road North of Babb so is easily accessible if coming from Canada as well.

Beds were comfortable, room was very clean. Refrigerator in room, and access to microwave in common section in middle of hotel.

Staff were very friendly and professional.

One challenge for us was we needed to donate our unused Bear Spray at the office. Unfortunately no one is in the office until 3:00 PM and we checked out at 9:30 AM.

It was difficult to communicate in advance that we needed to cancel one night reservation for 2 rooms due to double booking. I tried unsuccessfully to contact the hotel multiple times by phone and Expedia message service.

I ended up advertising 2 free rooms for 1 night on Facebook and absorbing the cost. I was unable to cancel the rooms because the reservation was made through Expedia. Thankfully at least 2 families (whom I do not know) were able to use the rooms.

What a unique gem! We loved the Hooks Hideaway! It’s a simple hotel on a ranch and had just what we needed. Our favorite spot to stay in our week in Glacier. Horses right outside the doors, friendly dogs greeted us, and beautiful Montana scenery all around! They had a very well thought out book with FAQs and information about the area that was very helpful. Very clean! Highly recommend if you like a simple Montana style downhome cabin like feel. The pictures don’t do it justice. Check it out!

This place is simple, sparkling clean and quiet. Beautiful land. Courteous staff and the friendliest welcome dogs you’ll ever find. Note, there’s no TV, WiFi just ok, so if that’s important to you, maybe find a different place. But if you want a quiet, pristine place to stay and explore the area, this is it. New shower/bathroom, comfortable beds. My guess is that the bad reviews must have been from a time when there was some construction going on - ignore them. Also, on some Tuesdays, there’s a rodeo! We left Monday, so didn’t get to experience that. I’d definitely stay again!

This quirky motel is an adventure. Instead of opening your window to the outdoors, you open it to a hallway. So if you want privacy, you close the curtains and turn on the lights. No TV but I was ok with that tho others might not like it. The coffee creamer was a “whitener” with no claims to anything dairy. I also thot it too pricey. BUT the place is super clean, the beds are quite good, and the location is beautiful and very “country.” Yes, I’ll probably stay there again but I’ll bring my own half’n’half.

Definitely off the beaten path. The hotel seems to be something like a pole barn that was converted into a hotel by putting up drywall to make rooms. The window for your room looks out to the hallway that runs the length of the building. If you are in room 10 which is at the end of the hallway, you can expect not to have internet service. Did I mention there are no TVs and your bathroom is hardly big enough to turn around in??

This motel looks like a large trailer from the outside, but is very spacious and comfortable inside. The room was clean, the bed (two queens) was comfortable. We especially liked the electric fire place-like heater, makes it cozy and efficient. The bathroom is a good size, everything worked well. The motel is located in a remote part of Babb, it takes about 10-15 min to the more commercial area, to have breakfast. The entrance to the park is about 20 min from the motel, easy to get to. The wifi worked well in the room.

There is truly nothing near by so you do need to plan ahead for meals and conveniences. It’s just as described in the listing, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The rooms themselves don’t have air conditioning but there is air conditioning in the hallway so you can just open your room window, it was a very comfortable temperature for sleeping and the room had a fan as well.

Lots of construction going on around the motel but a quiet stay with easy after hours check in.
Make sure you can enter through Many Glacier entrance when you book. MG Access was closed bc of construction which left us in this desolate area for nothing bc we couldn’t get in.

This place is quite nice overall though with some caveats. Location is quiet and not too far from Many Glacier park entrance. Nothing in the area nearby so it’s quiet but just a place to relax after leaving the park. Individual rooms off two corridors at either long side of the building. Nothing fancy but efficient. The AC units are window units at either end of the hallways so leaving the window open during the day allows the room to cool. A bit noisy to leave it open at night so rooms in mid portion of the building will be quieter but warmer. WiFi signal varies between locations in rooms and room to room but always seemed to be available. It is, however, very slow so one has to really temper one’s expectations. Downloads can be an issue at the best of times so it’s kinda off the grid while not being totally so. Perhaps they have to use dial up connection from their router to the service provider due to the extremely rural nature of the property as I doubt cable gets there (no TV so it doesn’t do that) and I saw no satellite dish.

Quality food options on the east side of the park are quite limited. Nothing remotely approaching fine dining or healthy eating (depending on your habits). Reviews of places also tend to be overly optimistic for St Mary’s locations and Babb area.

Don’t judge a book by its cover

Located in a farming area outside of Babb , and a couple of miles off the main highway and accessed by a decent gravel road . About 15 minutes from the two restaurants in the Babb area . Exterior of “motel”very unwelcoming on appearance, but room was clean , well appointed and the bed was comfortable . About 15 miles from Canadian border and less than an hour from Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta Canada. Also about an hour from East Glacier Village . Good accommodations at a reasonable cost if you want to visit each NP.
Waterton Lakes is incredible and not too crowded in mid August .
