Exceptionally clean (which is my number one priority)! Cheap! Friendly people! Big room, had a small fridge, but bring your own shampoo. We were happily surprised (and I'm someone who ONLY stays at chain hotels, but we had no other choice). If we go back to Glacier National Park, we will stay there again. (I was a little worried by...

Great place - my out of state friends were excited - said it was the best place they had styayed in a long time, and it was also the least expensive. Rooms were spacious and clean. Fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, shower, sink, what else do you need?" More

Spnt three nights in one of their four cabins. Very clean & comfortable. Very accomodating: we arrived at closing time and they cooked us a great meal to take back to our room and they found a place for us to park our trailer. The food was so good we came back to eat there after we checked out. More

In planning trip I found this site. Called motel and asked if they wrote their own reviews. They assured me --NO.

This was one of the best places I have ever stayed. Very clean, very friendly, and what a value! If you choose to stay at the Half Way, get the pancakes. The only thing one could say toward the negative is the location. However, there are some great views on your way to the Glacier entrance, so the drive isn't... More

Submitted by Doug from Utah, stayed mid-July 2009 We were on a motorcycle trip to Glacier National Park. Checking online I found there were only two other places to stay in Essex and they were close to $200/night. The Half Way Motel has only 4 rooms so it fills fast. I was hesitant because of the small size, thinking they... More
