"We really enjoyed our two-night stay. The room was very spacious and had several thoughtful touches that made it feel comfortable and welcoming. The bathroom was well stocked with soft, thick towels and all the necessary amenities.
The room also included a small refrigerator, coffee maker, and kettle, which were very convenient. One of the highlights was the private balcony, furnished with a table and chairs, overlooking a beautiful running stream, a perfect place to relax.
Our room was on the third floor, and there was an elevator, making it easy to access. The reception desk was located at the back of a large gift shop, and there was also a grocery store on site, which was very handy.
There were several restaurants within a short walk. We tried Sunrise Pizza and really enjoyed it.
Overall, we had a wonderful two-night stay and would happily recommend this hotel. The only downside was that we felt the room rate was a little on the expensive side, but the comfort and location made for an enjoyable stay."
"We really enjoyed our time on the beautiful ranch. It was very peaceful and we were entertained by the cowboys practicing their team roping skills. We woke up early and watched a herd of elk on the ridge across the valley. We loved the whole experience from beginning to end."
"What a treat to stay where you take a few steps from the hotel to the lake and view the mountains and scenery--no need to drive, although there are beautiful sights within driving distance and wonderful hiking trails that allow you to get even closer to the beautiful scenery.
We stayed in a double bed room on the basement/lake floor. Special treat to have a second door with screen door that opened to the lake side of the hotel. This part of the hotel has an elevator for which we were grateful, especially after viewing all the stairs both inside and out. The room was comfortable with fan and even a small desk.
We took the hotel tour offered each afternoon. Our tour guide was interesting and shared much of the history of how the hotel was built, remodeled and remodeled again--had a notebook of pictures that helped understanding of the changes over the years.
We ate in the Ptagmigan Dining Room for breakfast--the breakfast continental breakfast met our needs. Lunch and dinner were enjoyed in the Swiss Lounge. There is also a small store on the lake level of the hotel which sells snacks, drinks and other food options. Staff in all hotel locations were friendly and helpful.
Excellent choice IF you can get a reservation!"
"We love to visit NP lodges and Lake McDonald lodge did not disappoint. The staff from check-in to check-out were friendly, very helpful and always listening for ways to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. We ate onsite at the Fireside Dining Room and Lucke's Lounge--food cooked to our request, service consistent, and prices reasonable considering location. The lobby is inviting with the beautiful lantern lights, the fireplace with etched stone and a variety of comfortable seating. And most important, the views inside the lodge and outside are outstanding.
Our accommodation was a small cabin and we enjoyed looking out our door and seeing a path to the lake.
We took the Western Alpine Red Bus tour which is a great way to see the western side of Going To The Sun Road without driving. Jammer Bill provided humor and fun as he shared the history of the road."
Swiftcurrent Motor Inn and Cabins - Inside the Park
10/10 Excellent
"Clean, 2 beds, great for family. More updated than Rising Sun Motor Inn. Trailheads right next to it. Walking distance to the Grinnell Glacier Viewpoint trailhead."
"It’s inside the park, so there’s that. Nothing beats that really. Easy parking. Clean. Bathroom is kinda small. Just one bed. Or when I booked it , that’s the only one left. Not sure. We like the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn better but we prefer to stay where we want to explore so we don’t drive far."
