Submitted by Doug from Utah, stayed mid-July 2009 We were on a motorcycle trip to Glacier National Park. Checking online I found there were only two other places to stay in Essex and they were close to $200/night. The Half Way Motel has only 4 rooms so it fills fast. I was hesitant because of the small size, thinking they... more

I looked at other places to stay at Glacier but decided on the Half Way Motel because of the price and location. I was not disappointed in my stay here! It is a great place to stay! The rooms are very big with two queen size beds and plenty of room. There is a nice bathroom too. The owners of... more

Written by Sharon Nelson, Prairie Farm, WI August 20, 2008 This is my favorite place to stay in Montana. My family has stayed here many times and we have always been extremely pleased. It is very reasonable, very clean, and the rooms and bathrooms are quite spacious. The rooms have 2 comfortable queen size beds, dresser, refrigerator, microwave, tv, and... more

We were looking for an affordable option in/near Glacier N.P. We have a new infant and were not willing to move around. We wanted a home base from which to explore the park. Based on the trip advisor reviews, we booked the Halfway Motel in Essex on the Southern end of the park, 30 miles from West Glacier and East... more

We travel to Montana often and this motel is by far the best value we have encountered. It is relatively isolated, there is only one other resort nearby (Issak Walton Inn) but that just adds to the charm of the motel. It is a serene and peaceful place to visit. Being a very small hotel with only four rooms in... more

Glacier National Park is just beautiful and this motel is a wonderful place to stay and see it all!! Essex is half-way from the west and east entrance to the Park. This a family run business and I stayed for five days mainly because of the other reviews of this motel. There are only two small buildings with two units... more

I have stayed here dozens of times and have never had a bad experience! The rooms are clean, the food is amazing, the people are great! It is a great way to Explore Glacier and the Great Bear Wilderness and is MUCH less expensive than other places in the area. Perfect hideaway! I can't wait to get back there later... more

We stayed at this motel while visiting Glacier National Park this summer. The motel is called Halfway for the obvious reason - you are right in the middle of the 2 entrances of the park - 30 minutes to each entrance. The motel only has about 6 or 8 rooms. It is a wooden structure, with a small porch outside... more

We stayed in Essex at the Half Way Motel. This place is on Hwy 2, just west of the Isaak Walton Inn. It is a great base camp to explore Glacier. You are directly in the middle (30 minutes) from both the East & West entrance to the park. The rooms are large and clean. They have a microwave &... more
