Hooks Hideaway Motel

8/10 Good
"The room was adequate for our short stay. We would have enjoyed having a microwave in our room -- however, the shared one provided in the hallway was very clean. Another recommendation would be to change the hard wood bed frames which sit flat on the floor. The sharp, corners of the frame stuck past the mattress and were a constant toe-stubbing obstacle especially at night due to their dark brown color and unexpected location at toe-level. Ouch!! We enjoyed the rodeo show viewable from the property and the hotel's convenient location near Many Glacier and Waterton National Park (Canada)."

"We stayed at the motel part of the village. The room was spacious and comfortable. All of our interactions with the staff were pleasant. It is a short and paved walk to the St Mary Glacier National Park visitor center. The only negative thing I can say is the exhaust fans in the bathrooms are on the noisy side.would definitely stay here again."

On the shores of Ducklake only minutes from Glacier Park, and Waterton Park park

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well stocked. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. Living room was spacious with huge windows so we could watch beautiful sunrises over Duck Lake and sunsets over Chief Mountain each day. We really enjoyed having the grill and deck. Abby and Anna could not have been more kind and helpful before and during our stay. Location was very convenient to the East side of GNP entrances. Abby provided fishing gear for the lake and we were able to use a small boat with electric motor in addition to the dock. We saw a herd of elk from the deck and a momma brown bear and her three cubs walking across the road. Directions were easy to follow to get to the property. We could not have been more pleased with our stay or Abby and Anna’s hospitality. Thank you!"
