Glacier Park Lodge, Not worth the Price!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/07
We just returned from Glacier National Park and it was gorgeous. We had a wonderful time in the park and I highly recommed it to anyone. We stayed at Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier and it is horribly overpriced for what you get. It is historic and the lobby is very impressive and that is where the charm ends. We got to our rooms and were very disappointed. The day we arrived it was 105 degrees and there was NO A/C. We did request fans that were delivered to our rooms. There is very sparse cell phone service (NO ATT/Cingular) and NO internet access at all, no TV. The bathroom is like that of a motorhome. Very small and no shelf to set anything on, we had to use the very small window ledge. There were dust bunnies everywhere under the beds and the air circulation was minimal. The hallways were loud, though we kept the fans on all night so we could sleep. All this would not have been bad if the rooms were $80/night but for $175+ taxes, fees, etc. I expected MUCH MORE! Also, the staff didn't really seem to know what they were doing. Most of them were from out-of-state/country and were just working there for the summer. They were all nice but clueless. I agree with the other reviews about the food. The restaurant is not worth it. The breakfast buffet had much to be desired. The bar is the only place you can get something decent for a reasonable price, make sure you are not in a hurry though. And, the HEATED POOL that they advertise is SO cold you can only stand it for about 10 minutes. This place is NOT WORTH THE PRICE at all. Camp instead, you will feel better about the money you spent!
