Swan River Inn

I didnt know breakfast was included

Just way over priced

Close to shop and cafes, but not on the water.

Old and dated, bathroom was weird.

The location was very good. You could walk to the downtown area and walk/short drive to the Flathead Lake Brewing Company. A gas station and cafe/coffee shop were also close. The hotel looks at the Swan River. The penthouse suite was large with one and one-half bathrooms, a kitchen and a double-sided fireplace (albeit not working).

Getting to the room is problematic. It is necessary to either haul your luggage/gear through the restaurant and up a long stairway OR go up an extremely narrow, winding spiral staircase then up another long stairway. It was also apparent from the time I entered the penthouse suite that the floors had not been swept nor the carpets vacuumed. There were numerous cobwebs on the lights and kitchen cabinets (which is probably why I was bitten by a spider in the neck during the night). The rooms also smelled musty and of propane. The patio adjacent to the room had garbage bags, propane tanks and chairs/tables scattered around which was not attractive. If you use the kitchen and do not clean/put away your dishes, you will be charged an additional $30 (there were actually dirty dishes in the dishwasher when I arrived which I had to wash/put away so I would not be charged).

Quiet close to restaurants, the room was very comfortable and unique,, loved it

Nothing at all

No shower. Very dingy old and cramped. It didn’t even have an iron. Smelled.

The location was very good in downtown Big Fork which is a small town. The bed was comfortable.

There were steps down into the room from street level and also steps down into to the bathroom level with no handrails. The maintenance was poor (eg. wires hanging from ceiling for smoke detector, duct tape holding wallpaper together, spots on white table lace, non-functioning paper window shade, etc.). and furnishings looking worn out and mismatched. Headboard is a cowhide with all hair attached, and it looked difficult to clean, if it ever was. Routine daily cleaning was not done.

I love the town and have stayed at this hotel for the past 5 consecutive years in 4 different rooms. Great place to walk, shop and dine. Week night live music is great. Hotel is convenient to everything and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

The room, called Leather and Lace, needs some upkeep. Street noise was too loud, especially when trying to sleep, roof leaked onto the bed, blind on one window was broke, smoke detector hanging by wires from ceiling, overall needs some tlc. Photo shows water marks from the 1st day i checked in and experienced the leak on my 4th day.

The safari room

The town was empty

No breakfast served

Patio in front of our room could use some work/cleanup
