Which area of West Glacier is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious travellers looking for affordable accommodation in West Glacier, staying slightly outside the immediate village area often yields the best value. While West Glacier itself is quite small and primarily geared towards park access, nearby towns or areas just a short drive away can offer more economical options.

Solo travellers might find good deals in small motels or guesthouses along U.S. Highway 2, particularly east towards Coram or Hungry Horse. These areas are still very close to the West Glacier entrance of Glacier National Park, typically within a 10-15 minute drive, and offer a quieter atmosphere away from the park's main gates. Look for places that include basic amenities like free parking and perhaps a continental breakfast to stretch your budget further.

Alternatively, consider looking a bit further west towards Columbia Falls. This larger town provides a wider selection of accommodation types, including some more affordable chain motels as well as independent lodges. It's about a 20-25 minute drive to the West Glacier entrance, but the trade-off is often lower prices, plus access to more local shops and eateries which can also be more budget-friendly than those right at the park entrance.
