I had a wedding to attend in July of 2011. I checked hotels in East Glacier and they were all booked. After looking on the map, it seemed that Essex was only a short ride (NO Traffic) from East Glacier so I booked three nights at the "Half Way". Wow, did we luck out. Spotless rooms, two queen beds, full bath, fridge, coffeemaker, and microwave. Beautiful setting in the trees, very quiet and safe. Another plus, it was next to the Half Way ...diner, post office, store... owned by the same family. We did have a problem with the toilet and the owner came over at once and fixed it. If you stay there, have the biscuits and gravy......
