We stayed here after being unable to obtain reservations at the Many Glacier Lodge. This was a pleasant area of the park. It's very quiet in the evening. There is a full restaraunt across the parking lot. Also a small camp store attached to the motel. We picked up our Red Bus Tours from the parking lot as well. The... More

Very pleased with the modest hotel room we had for 5 nights. If you do not want to camp, but are going to be outdoors wandering Glacier's many hiking paths during the day, Rising Sun is your best option. Very centrally located by St. Mary Lake, with a decent restaurant, it offers the best price for a motel room within... More

The room was clean but needed updated. The place is a little expensive for what you get. They don't even offer a free cup of coffee. The only good thing about the place was that one of the people that worked there let us use his bear spray. I still haven't figured out what the utility surcharge was for. More

We stayed at the Rising Sun after a last minute backpacking cancellation. They only had one room available (handicap accessible w/no view) but we were very glad to have it. The room was basic and clean. The location is excellent - only 12 miles from Logan Pass which is the closest of any hotel. More

We stayed at a motel room in the rising sun motor inn and it was better than we expected. Nice room, it was clean and comforable. The room had 2 queens. Like most park motels you can hear your neighbours. Would stay here again. More

We chose to stay at Rising Sun Motor Inn after we were unable to get a reservation at Many Glacier Hotel. I had to reserve two rooms for my family of five because the rooms have double beds. Our rooms were next to each other but not adjoining. We found that we liked the location for touring the East side... More

After two terrible nights in the Motor Lodge at Lake MacDonald, we got the helpful desk clerk to help us switch our last night to the only vacancy in Rising Sun. What a stroke of luck. We drove from a whitewater trip in West Glacier to Rising Sun, cutting a lot off our trip for the next day, back to... More

We couldn't get a reservation at the Many Glacier Lodge, but found our stay here to work out just fine for one night. Traveling with 2 teens, we ended up having to reserve 2 rooms because they only had rooms with 2 twins. This was an extra expense we could have done without. The rooms are clean and comfortable. That... More

Our family of four stayed one night at one of the three blocks of Inn rooms. Each room has chair/table on the porch which is good for airing out our hiking boots, drying socks, etc. We had a view of the mountains across the GTTS road. Large, immaculately clean bathroom with good lighting and nice toiletries. Squeaky beds but very... More

Old unfinished cabins, shower small as a coffin, tiny beds, smelly stained carpet (urine?) bathroom swarming with ants (they did come to spray when I complained, thus creating ongoing dead insect carcass situation on floor), no surface area for suitcases or toiletries(mini-wall sink in sleeping area). Really should have been torn down years ago. AVOID if possible. More
