Stayed at Swift Current Motor Inn last night (June 14, 2023). Wifi is spotty and only available in the lobby of the office where you go to check-in and out. Definitely no cell phone service. I stayed in a room (motel building) that had an adjoining room. The sliding doors (one on each side) between the two rooms had simply latches. Plus, there was a small gap between the frame and the door. I could peek into the other room via this sliver. Obviously, any loud conversation in one room would carry to the other. Otherwise, the room was roomy and the bathroom has a shower. As for hiking, I did the hike to Iceberg Lake. It was raining and as I got up in elevation, it was sleeting. I did see two young moose on the way up and two Bighorn Sheep on the way down.
Thanks for the feedback. Still my favorite place to stay in the park. As I say in the video - don’t go to Glacier for the accommodations. If you need typical hotel amenities stay outside the park and give those of us who love the area a better chance to get a room in that amazing location.
Glad it was helpful! Planning early is a good idea- My 2hr Glacier video will be helpful. it’s used by many park staff new hires. it will help you plan too. Skip parts you’ve already seen.
Great video, Steve! Very well done, and clearly presents not only the lodging inside and outside the park (which many will appreciate knowing about). Definitely need to know about the ticketed entry situation, too! Thank you!
Thank you for such informative videos! They are a great help. I'm planning a trip to Glacier in July 2024. Do you believe it is safe at this point to stay at Pine Top?
Best video , about GNP!!!
Thanks a lot , God bless you !
Thank you for recognizing the hard work that went into it.

Thank you for a very helpful video. We might attempt a visit to Glacier / Waterton in 2026.

We stayed at Many Glacier Hotel during the first weeks of June. The WiFi is now excellent throughout the hotel and has reasonable speed!
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll add it to the update list. Of course the question is- is that good news? it can be nice to disconnect
