Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was ok but the mattress was literally like sleeping on the floor it was so hard. I have slept in hundreds of hotel rooms and I have never had a mattress even close to being that hard. What happens is if you can’t sleep at night and you have rented that room for 6 nights, you can’t be at your best the next day. Also, I was never told that my room would only be cleaned every 4 days or once over the 6 night stay. Maybe it was buried in the details somewhere but I wasn’t told to me upfront. I would not recommend this room unless you like sleeping on the floor because that is how hard the mattress was.

Elevator broken upon arrival, but apparently it has been for months. Staff unhelpful for any request - their answer is always “no” or an excuse. Rooms are dark and not cozy, not comfortable, not convenient. The location of the hotel is the only positive. Don’t get fooled by misleading photos on here. This place is not nice.

Room was nice and great view. The elevators were out the whole stay and we were on the 4th floor opposite the stairs. With ski gear and luggage it made for a pretty inconvenient access. Everything else was excellent.

Hot tub was closed. Heaps of extra fees not included in the expedia booking. Door to the room was wide open on check in, with damage to the jam as if it had been forced open. This used to be the go-to place but now it is time to find somewhere else.

BE AWARE. If you have a back issue, don't stay at the Glacier Mountaineer Lodge. I booked for 2 nights stay at Glacier.
