Circle R Motel

We stayed in room 35 it was very clean and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay at a reasonable price. The bed was comfortable, looked to be an almost brand new shower and the linens were all clean and soft. The staff was very nice, no complaints from our stay.

Imagine driving 8 hours from Yellowstone to east glacier on a tight schedule through stormy weather and pouring rain, having a reservation at the place confirmed through booking.com. Even confirmed our arrival time. Only to arrive at the place getting told that they have no more rooms and booking.com has been mistaken? They have had all the time in the world to let us no this in advance. The receptionist even told us this problem has happened all summer! Why haven’t they fixed this obvious miscommunication with booking.com then? What kind of business is this turning prebooked costumers away in the middel of the night in pouring rain. The most annoying Thing is that there are no alternative accomodation anywhere near at under 500usd a night. We had to drive 2 hours to find something else in the middle of the night. Worst treatment i ever had.

Positive: The staff was very helpful and the room was perfect and well kept. We lived the water pressure in the shower. Negative: No

Beggars can’t be choosy. Zero AT&T cell service. Their Wi-Fi doesn’t work when she gave me the password she flat out told me it never works. The beds were uncomfortable. The shower was a tiny corner shower. They provide no soap. They provide a tiny coffee maker, but they don’t give you the filter or the coffee. Needless to say I’ll plan better. Next time. This place was a dump.

A last minute decision to head to Glacier National park. Pulled this place off a web search. What a nice little well maintained hotel. Rooms were large, clean and very well maintained. There isn’t a lot in East Glacier but a good nights sleep and friendly staff.

Positive: It was awful and we did not stay overnight.We have submitted request for refund. Negative: There were 3 black bugs in the sheets and much long black hair on the bathroom floor.

Rooms were neat but one bummer is that they dont have breakfast or good wifi. Great location for people visiting Two Medicine, St Marys or Many Glacier! William was such a nice person and super helpful throughout our stay there. 5 star solely for him being there :)

This hotel doesn’t look very promising from the outside and it’s close to road and railway. However it was the only motel left open in Glacier at the start of October! We were there with a group and I suspect some rooms were better than others. And the rear building possibly better than the front one. ||||The rooms are motel style but open to (and have windows onto) an enclosed corridor. The room was quite large and we found it to be cosy and comfortable. The only thing we didn’t like was the very high bar stools and table available as the only sitting options in the room. Some people had a sofa and we were jealous!||||It doesn’t do breakfast but there is a good diner nearby which does.

It's not a 5 star hotel but we had no issues. Check in process was smooth, parking right in front of our door. Bed was OK. Shower pressure was real good. I would just recommend for the chair by the table to be replaced since cushion was covered in stains. I didn't sit down. Also, more lighting in the room. The two lamps were not enough for me to look through my suitcase and the bathroom could use a couple of hooks please. Om the first morning, there was a small drive through café across the street which had yummy homemade pumpkin spice coffee but the following two mornings they were closed. I guess it's hit or miss with them. Motel is next to a library and around the corner there is an excellent restaurant called The Peak.

Stay at this Circle R Motel in December. It was the worth experience I have had with a stay. It was even hard to fathom. The room was dirty. But we could deal with that for that night. Only game in town really. Because it was over 200 dollars a night it was disappointing. So I notice there wasn't enough toilet paper. And the TV wasn't working. Called office from cell phone because no phone in room. We'll no answer. Called 3 times within a hour. So next I walked down to office. Winter time, the walk was pretty slick. No one answered door. But a another phone on window to call. Call from cell phone standing outside of office. No answer . Noticed a window further down the office. Inside could see a family. Knocked on window. Came to door. Relayed my concerns with no toilet paper and tv wasn't working. He said he bring it up. Mind you I wasn't the happiest person talking to this manager. Hour has passed. Nothing. Back down to office. Since Noone answered phone again. Dark out now. Knocked on door and other window. Nothing. A truck drives up. He was a relative to the manager. I asked him to please relay a message that we are out of toilet paper. Now almost in tears. He came out and said he told him. The manager came out and asked what he could help me with. What! He said I thought his daughter came to our room. No! He will right up and handed me two rolls of toilet paper. 30 minutes he fixed tv. Left. Finally, I turned on TV and guess what. Controller was low on battery. Won't change channels. I called down there. No answer. Still office should be open. According to there office window times. Went down again. Office lights off. Need I say more. OK I said the room was dirty but it was filthy. Shower was so small you could barely turn. I'm a small woman. The rug had stainds. Walls paper thin. I would think they would give a refund . But can't get a hold of owner. Don't waste your money.

The room we had was large, and it came with a refrigerator and microwave oven. I rarely rate motels this low, but after having stayed in motels more than 70 days in the last year, I thought I should write this review. One of the outlets behind the table between the two beds was non-functional. We thought it was connected to the light switch next to the door, but it wasn't. Near that outlet was an electrical outlet box that was uncovered. The blanket on my bed had a cigarette hole in it. There were numerous 8x11 sheets of printed paper in the office and in the room with various rules and policies. One policy was that the rooms would not be entered and no cleaning would take place because of COVID. That was expected. However, after returning from a day of hiking in Glacier NP, we discovered that someone had entered the room and replaced towels. We didn't want anyone entering the room in our absence, and assumed they wouldn't because of their signage. In the office, there was a sign that said "Karen's" would, in essence, not be welcomed or tolerated. I'm believe I am aware of the behavior to which they refer, but I thought it was derogatory and unnecessary. I would have understood their intent better if they simply asked guests to be respectful and polite. Was this exclusively directed to women? The room had a mounting for a smoke detector, but none was present. See photo. We paid for two nights, but walked away from the second night without asking for a refund because we didn't feel comfortable staying in the room.

Would to recommend there isn't really any other hotels in the area but it was not a pleasant experience. The shower had really high pressure, The window shade fell of in the middle of the night waking up everyone, There was blood on the wall and the bed had a lot of crumbs. I can't forget that the room smelt like smoke! Would Not Suggest!!!

My trip planning to Glacier started in late spring/early summer and was surprised that nearly all hotels were booked and others were very expensive. I didn't know the demand was greater than the supply of motels. Circle R Motel was available and within my budget, so I took it. Travel is an adventure and one must have an open mind. The motel was affordable and nice,. The AC was cold, the showers were hot, and beds were comfy. The washers/dryers were reasonably priced and convenient. There is no elevator. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful! We didn't spend much time in the room... we went to Glacier to enjoy the outdoor at Two Medicine, St Marys, and Many Glacier, and Road to the Sun. Twio Medicine is a small town, with a little store that has great huckleberry ice cream, and a grill where you can get a bison burger and pie. Yes I would stay here again!

This hotel was a lot better than I was expecting. It was spacious and clean with a little kitchenette as well. It is very conveniently located to the park and within walking distance to the only market, a Mexican restaurant and the post office. We had no issues with our stay. Check in was a breeze and staff were friendly. The only downside was extremely spotty wifi so if you need it you'll have to walk next door and sit in front of the market.

So here's the deal.....a 40 room motel on the Main Street just across from the park entrance AND about 1/2 mile behind is RV parking, several cabins and room for tenters. We were in the RV area for two days and wound up staying a month! Full hook ups, nice grassy site and reasonable rates. Hal, an employee, whose cabin is also in the back, is an amazing woman. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about the area and eager to share information. Willie, the hotel manager is always there to help. John Ray, the owner, is hands-on and so very personable. There is also an in-house beauty salon. Asia is wonderful. Best haircut in years! We went into the park every evening, enjoyed the lodge, Two Medicine River and all of the glory of Glacier Park!, including the Going to the Sun Road. So I highly recommend the Circle R Motel, you can't do better.

We stayed here after our cabins at East Glacier Motel and Cabins were disgusting. The guy and lady (patch on her eye) who checked us in were so friendly. Really Nice!!! The room was sooooo nice. Two queens, a nice kitchenette area and a clean bathroom. If we ever come back that way we will for sure book it this place.

We stayed here three nights in July. I would say it's "rustic" only because there's not much in the way of anything on the east side of Glacier. But that's what we liked about it. There were no crowds and no traffic. The staff was extremely friendly! They did everything to accommodate our motorcycle trailers. My husband got stung by a bee and they whipped out a bee sting kit for him. It was just a really nice stay. I didn't have much trouble with the wi-fi at all even though they do tell you it's spotty. It worked fine for me. We would definitely stay here again. There was a Mexican restaurant right next door as well as a steakhouse called The Peak. Both had great food.

Elena picked this hotel. It is modest and humble. There are very few luxuries or comforts one would associate with hotels. We got the nicest surprise of our life. The motel had large and spacious rooms that were warm and comfortable. The staff was always friendly and responsive. We had the most wonderful feelings while staying there for two nights. We were sad to leave. This is one of these rare experiences that you will never forget.

Decent room for the price. It was clean and the queen bed was fine. TV worked well. Why only 3 stars. No Wi-Fi and (not motel's fault) little to no cell service. Also- several of the outlets did not work for charging devices. Knowing cell service is so bad they should offer Wi-Fi- even if you have to pay for it. If I'm camping I don't expect Wi-Fi. If I'm in a motel, it sure would be nice. Yes, I knew there was no Wi-Fi when I made the reservation, but thought I could use my phone to check out places to eat, park info, etc... Nope. Neither Verizon or ATT worked consistently. Some might like that you can't really connect to outside world. Some Wi-Fi would be helpful, especially in 2021. Fortunately a nearby eating establishment "Leo's" had Wi-Fi so we could do a minimum of work that needed to be done. Missed important calls from my son. Just a bit irritated that's all.

We rented a room here when our car gps took us 60 miles in the wrong direction. We were pleasantly surprised at the price and the room. Although the room numbering system was unusual, the room was larger than most modern motels and came with a coffee maker, microwave, 3 foot refrigerator and flat screen with satellite (I think) tv. The king sized bed may have been soft for some people, but for me, I was rewarded with one of the most comfortable sleeps on this 10 day trip. The railroad passes directly across the street, but because of double wall construction, we never heard it. There is a Mexican restaurant right around the corner and a coffee shop/ pie shop/ well stocked grocery store 50 yards away. I recommend this stop.

If you are nervous about the pictures, don't be! We had planned to camp, but two of the campgrounds had closed for soft side tents because of bears. This meant that the others filled up even more quickly. Looking at the pictures and outside, we thought this would be a crap-hole. If you put it in any other part of the country, it would be. We are from Nashville and it definitely would be shady in our area. However, many of the other places were filled up. We took our chances and were beyond pleased. The check in process was pretty easy. Our room was on the second floor, but the steps are nice and wide. The room was extremely clean and cozy. This will sound silly, but they have my favorite bathroom ever. There is a loud exhaust fan and a sliding window. Not only does the sound give you more privacy, but the window allows steam or aromas to filter out instead of in your bedroom. To checkout, we simply dropped our key in the box outside the office. It was SUCH a refreshing experience. This is a CLC hotel, which makes sense why they keep such a basic routine.

Great place to stay! Super friendly staff, clean rooms, and great price. Definitely recommend this motel to anyone!

This place is fantastic! We stayed in the new cabins and were highly impressed. The price was more than fair for the cabin accommodations. It was a cute cabin with a large floor plan and a full kitchen stocked with essentials. The bathroom was big as well and had nice soft towels. They also allow dogs here (huge bonus for us)! Overall extremely happy with our stay here and will definitely come back again on our next trip to Glacier National Park.

We picked this cabin in hopes for a wonderful vacation. Shortly after arriving we were met by resident dogs that chased us into the cabin. Not okay. The WiFi doesn't work as stated by employees. We unpack to get settled and there were no sheets for the pullout bed and the pullout was broken. We wake for our first morning and find the cabin to be filthy, I have pics and will post. The oven, stove and toaster over were disgusting. They send a wonderful gentleman up to clean and he was super apologetic and swapped sofas with another cabin. He was absolutely the best part of this stay. Day two, we call multiple times and get no answer, we leave garbage out on the porch in hopes that someone would take it. We return back from an outing someone finally took the garbage and left new towels on the porch, which were wet from being outside because it had rained. Day three, we finally get someone on the phone and they said they would come up to clean the room in 30 minutes, it was over an hour later. The two women walk in an immediately tell us they don't like dogs and told us they didnt want the dog beds sitting on the bed. We moved them so they could mop, because the floors were disgusting. The two women, on an amplifier and the other her mother just helping out, we're nothing but rude. I grabbed my dog and asked my travel companion where the door keys were as I had to go outside because I was I was about to go off on rude help. That made the two ladies mad and they walked out. After they were the ones being rude! I can not recommend this establishment to anyone.
