Clean, great staff, perfect spot for many glacier or st Mary (really any spot for the easy side of the park). WiFi can be spotty but I also had signal. They offer CDs bc there’s no cable which me and my partner found to be quite charming. The AC is a great addition to the rooms to. We even left a scrunchy and t-shirt which they graciously kept for us until we could retrieve them. Deb has a great place, fair prices and clean spot. 10/10 Will stay again.
We had a wonderful stay in this motel. The room was very clean and cozy, very comfortable bed. Great value! After hours check-in was very easy. And the location is awesome!
It’s a quiet and beautiful location. The folks are friendly and genuine. Don’t drive past. Stay and meet them. Have a snack or a meal just down the road. And appreciate being waved at by passing drivers. It’s that kind of place.
Cute little motel on the east side of GNP. It’s only 20 minute drive to Saint Mary’s visitor center. The general store is well stocked and has lots of food. There’s a cafe and a gas pump across the street. The rooms were nice and the bed was so comfortable, feel asleep right away. The management was very friendly, provided us a kettle on request. There’s a fridge but no microwave.
Nice little stop for the night. Clean and comfortable. Only one tv channel but a box of DVDs to choose from. Small TV but has HDMI for streaming. Wifi was good in our room but not sure all rooms have good coverage. People were nice and helpful, sure was well stocked. Very close to Many Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park. I would stay there again.
I've stayed in many motels, and most don’t live up to expectations—but not this one. Thronson's is a clean, well-equipped motel with easy access to Glacier National Park. The owner is kind and welcoming, and we even had daily room service, which was such a treat to return to after a long day. The room rates are also very affordable compared to other accommodations in the area. Highly recommend!
Great place! We stopped in to get out of the rain for a night and they were able to accommodate us. Very clean and comfortable. Everyone there is friendly. Close to the East entrance.
Great hotel near the eastern entrance to Glacier National Park. The staff were very kind and I loved having the general store attached to grab coffee in the morning. The rooms were very clean, had mini fridges and AC units. I would absolutely stay here again!
