“Three nights in heaven!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

people found this review helpful

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......

Room Tip: I think all the rooms are the same.

“Fantastic”

Exceptionally clean (which is my number one priority)! Cheap! Friendly people! Big room, had a small fridge, but bring your own shampoo. We were happily surprised (and I'm someone who ONLY stays at chain hotels, but we had no other choice). If we go back to Glacier National Park, we will stay there again. (I was a little worried by the name before we booked - it makes me think of a halfway house - but they told me it is half way between East Glacier and West Glacier. :)

The motel is set up as 2 or 3 cabins (I can't remember now), and each cabin has two motel rooms.

“Great place, great food, great people; definitely would stay again.”

Spnt three nights in one of their four cabins. Very clean & comfortable. Very accomodating: we arrived at closing time and they cooked us a great meal to take back to our room and they found a place for us to park our trailer. The food was so good we came back to eat there after we checked out.

In planning trip I found this site. Called motel and asked if they wrote their own reviews. They assured me --NO. Stayed 3 nights and it was a great experience.Big,very clean rooms, great beds,and a bargain price. The food they serve is excellent and a lot of it. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
