Very comfortable room located about 10 minutes from the east entrance of Glacier Park. There is an extensive gift shop next door, and is across the street from the boat dock. The Two Dog Flats restaurant on site is excellent - there is a rush right when they open for each meal, so if you're on a schedule you'll want to line up early.

The best thing going for the Rising Sun Motor Inn is its location! Poised on the east side of the Going to the Sun Road, it allows easy early access to a sunrise hike at Logan Pass, as well as reasonable forays to Many Glacier and Waterton, Canada. I actually booked it over a year ago to avoid having to get vehicle passes for GTSR. As it turned out, the rules changed after my booking, and I did have to get the vehicle pass to get to the motel on GTSR when coming from the west. The room didn't have air conditioning, but we did okay without it. The lack of WIFi (except in the office) was more problematic, and the rooms could've used better coffeemakers, as well as the addition of small refrigerators & microwaves. An extra wooden bench would've been helpful too.

The best thing about Rising Sun is its position on the Going to the Sun Road, especially if coming from the East. The complex included a restaurant/gift shop, a general store, motel rooms, cabins, and campground. We stayed in a cabin with a shared wall. (We could hear our neighbor snore.)The accommodations were rustic with paneled walls, creaky windows, and old carpet. There was a decent queen sized bed with good linens. The bathroom was small- holding just a toilet and small shower. There was a space heater on the wall, which was helpful in the mornings.The sink was in the room. The staff was welcoming and there was a decent restaurant on the premises, though generally a wait to be seated. Both the store and the restaurant were a longish walk from our cabin. The location had a view of the surrounding mountains but you could not see the lake. I had expected the lake to be closer when I read it was across the road, but it was actually across from the campground and required a short walk down the busy highway. Boat tours and the Glacier Park shuttle can be accessed there. Wi fi was only available in the lobby which I didn’t mind, but what I did mind is that there was no seating area. It seems to me it would be fairly easy for the proprietors to consolidate the gift shop shelving so that there was a place for guests or those waiting for a table in the restaurant to sit. It was odd to be there in the evening with people standing around everywhere looking at their devices. Overall, Rising Sun was an okay place to stay amongst limited options.

Our stay was in a room in the Motor Inn and we found the room and bathroom to be recently renovated and spacious with comfortable Adirondack chairs out front. It had a decent restaurant and general store within walking distance. It was a great location within the park as well. Note, It is a motel room without Wi-Fi or tv and is no frills but we enjoyed our two nights here better than our stay over at Apgar, (which really needed a renovation). The only real drawback was not having a lobby or common area to sit in the evenings.

Nothing fancy! Quiet, comfortable and convenient. So much to do on the east side of glacier we were glad to have a room in such a great location. Small shower may induce claustrophobia but we did fine. No TV and almost no cell or wireless service
