We really didn’t eat breakfast. They have juices, coffee, cereals, and bread. Not their fault if that’s what comes with the price of the hotel stay. Maybe I wasn’t expecting it to be just like that compared to the hotels under CHOICE hotels that we checked into. The staff is friendly, and our room was clean.

This hotel was a decent place to stay for the price, especially considering it was one of the more affordable options outside of Glacier National Park.

The room was clean.

There were a few downsides. The lighting in the room was awkward. The overhead fixture was dim. It seemed like the property might be in the middle of updates, since there were spots where wall sconce lights used to be. Also, the walls were very thin, so we could hear everything from the family in the room next door. The air conditioner kept the room cool, but it was quite noisy.

The complimentary breakfast was mostly of carbohydrates like cereal, muffins, and bagels. Overall, it wasn’t a bad stay, but it felt a little expensive for what was offered. Yet, being that close to Glacier National Park comes at a premium. So, if you are looking for a clean, budget-friendly-ish option near Glacier, it gets the job done, but don’t expect much.

Cleaned room. Room has a larger space than expected, which is very good. It is easy access to car. 10 minutes from Walmart and all other stores which is good. It has shampoo and body wash in tub which is great! Bit pricey for almost $200/night. I think this is more like a $70-$80 range motel but it works. We need something close to west entrance to glacier. This works fine!

The property was very dated. The AC rattled quite loudly but was cold. Very simple breakfast with toast and instant oatmeal being the only things. And the people on the floor above were so loud!

We travel a bunch for travel softball so we're always looking for the best rated hotels on a budget. From the reviews this fit the bill. When we got there, it was less than ideal. One family from our team had to switch hotels due to cockroaches in their room, a heavy cigarette smoke smell and a leaking A/C unit. Our room, thankfully, was cockroach free. However, the staff here was very gross. The cigarette smell? That's from the cleaners and staff walking around literally smoking in front of the room with the doors wide open. I saw another worker watering the hanging plants with a cigarette in her mouth as she hacked and coughed walking by each room on the first floor. It was extremely trashy. I don't care if people smoke, but designate an area away from the hotel rooms for the staff and guests to do it.

The quality of guests was also subpar. We had two rooms on opposite sides of the parking lot on the first floor. One room smelled like wet dog. Both rooms were plagued with upstairs guests that were having parades in their room. We had to call the front desk to complain multiple times and the people still didn't shut up late into the night. In the middle of the parking lot a bunch of bikers decided to sit and have drinks and yell. And the creepy old guy sitting in a chair in his doorway smoking weed was just the icing on the cake.

We won't be coming back.

There really was nothing that we cared for about this hotel. It definitely was not a nearly $150.00 room that Expedia charged us. When we left desk clerk gave us a receipt for $109.75. Why the price difference?
The bathroom smelled of a strong Urine smell. The floors and the bathroom door were dirty. We wondered if the floor was swept and mopped. It definitely needs some deep cleaning. I thought about taking pictures but didn’t bother.
I wouldn’t say the bed was high quality but we were able to sleep. They had outside planters that were hung at my head height. I’m 5’6”. Nothing should be hung so low that a guest hits their head on it. Which I did. It might be understandable if a guest was the height of my husband 6’5”.
The breakfast was less than Continental as stated. Cold cereal Captain Crunch or corn flakes, packaged oatmeal, small blueberry muffins, plain or everything bagels or English muffin. There was no fruit.
The best thing was Kalispell Montana is a beautiful place. Econo Lodge will not be a choice we will make again.

It was just what you would expect from a budget motel. However, the walls are paper thin and it felt like I was sharing a room with a bunch of Mexican men. I could hear everything, heard when a can was opened, heard them breathing, vomiting, etc…you name it.
I m pretty sure they could hear me too. Other than that the tile in the bathroom was nice, something you don’t see anymore, and the wood paneling outside added a rustic touch. The location was good and staff were friendly.
