My husband and I decided to enjoy a weekend in Glacier National Park and chose this hotel based on its historic connection to the park. The Belton Chalet was constructed in 1910 by the Great Northern Railway, though the lodge building was built in 1913. The hotel property has been beautifully restored and when you walk through your room door,... more

Let me first say, I still like the Belton Chalet. They have a wonderful location, good food at the taphouse, and a great staff. However, my disappointment of the removal of the breakfast significantly changed my opinion about the chalet. Our last visit (July 2006), a continental breakfast was served downstairs. Not that is was fantastic, but it was very... more

The chalet has been tenderly and lovingly refurbished and has proudly taken its place on the National Historic Register. The train-side rooms are great for those of us for whom the sound of a train slicing through the night is sweet. A little time zoning out in the rocking chairs on the deck helps deepen the relaxation and appreciation of... more

The hotel is rustic, but clean and very nice. I see that some of the reviews are critical of the sounds of the trains, but that is the history of the place and that is what makes it unique. The restaraunt was absolutely excellent. The chef, is the young lady running from downstairs to the rear of the restaurant doing... more

It's been 7 years since our last trip to Glacier & the Belton Chalet so we decided to rtn this year on a family trip. You can't visit the area & not stay here, it's a classic place w/a great restaurant. Our group had 2 rooms, one on the 2nd flr, facing the parking lot, at the top of the... more

The Belton Chalet is our favorite place to dine in West Glacier. We had dinner there on the Labor Day weekend in 2009, and loved it. Service was a bit spotty, but at least we were not rushed. My wife had a filet mignon that was excellent, and I had the buffalo meatloaf (unique and tasty). They have a good... more

The historic Belton Lodge and restaurant is right across the street from the West Glacier railroad station. I believe it was the first one built at Glacier, opened in 1910. We opted for an outside table, and were treated to a couple of Amtrac trains dropping off and picking up passengers. As for the food, it was uniformly excellent. Two... more

While many reviews I read talked about the noise (both railroad and highway) we had a room in the back and slept quite well. Our family rewnted the two chalets as well as a room in the lodge. The restaurant was excellent and well worth the extra cost. The service in the hotel/chalet was less than adequate. Whiule my wife... more

Simply put you cannot sleep with all the noise coming from the trains that go by every hour of the night. You also cannot shut the windows to block out the noise because there is no air or ventilation to speak of. Service was nice and the people friendly, but the chalet is certainly not worth the price tag. more
