We had a very pleasant two night stay. The room was smallish, but very clean and comfortable. Having a balcony gave us some extra room in terms of seating. It was a great place to sit and enjoy the sunset. Balcony rooms are on the same side as the tracks so you do have the train noise, but we didn't mind. The restaurant was quite good, and the tap room has a nice selection of local brews as well as a full bar. Breakfast is not available, but you can walk to the restaurant next door for a perfectly good breakfast (try the huckleberry french toast). We would definitely recommend the Belton Chalet for people who enjoy historic properties, and can live with a smaller room and without a TV.

The room was small and hot, with no temperature control. Shower and bathroom were very small as well. Sink--outside the bathroom--had separate hot and cold taps, and faucets were in need of repair.

The chalet was built in the early 1900's so it can be quite noisy. Be prepared to hear your neighbors doing everything . The walls are thin and the room is very small but to be expected with an old built hotel. Everything was very very clean and new inside the 23 rooms. They gaveit a modern country/mountain feel. We stayed at every lodge in the park and this one was our favorite. Right at the edge of West Glacier. It is close to White Water Rafting, Fishing and all the outdoor adventure stuff on Flathead River. The train goes by all through the night but you hardly notice because you will be so exhausted from the thin mountain air. We ate at the restaurant it was amazing. The elk was superb and they had microbrews on tap. Cute, cozy and the best in the park.

We have been eating at the Belton since they reopened about 10 years ago and the menu and dining experience has continued to get better every year. It may still be a little cheesey with the lace up corsets the women waitors wear over white blouses, but all in all the staff try to please the customer and the kitchen delivers an interesting menu that caters to all tastes and diets. You may be sitting in the dining room next to a local group of river guides, and on the other side of your table a dressed up couple of honeymooners; the mix is fun if your party is two or 10.
