    The Firebrand has a great location in downtown Whitefish and is a good base for Glacier National Park. The ambience is casual and elegant Western and the rooftop deck was nice although no food service was available there (maybe an end of season thing?). The room had two queen beds, comfy, two large armoires, flat screen tv, Wi-Fi, nice bathroom with shower. There were plenty of towels (thank you!!) and the shower got hot quickly (again, thank you!). I think a more upscale brand of shower items should be considered or at least a larger size. Public areas should be attended to more carefully. There were several large carpet stains all throughout our hallway. Coffee? Pets? Wine? Also the second floor sitting area always seemed extremely warm while the second floor hallway was cold. The Fitness Room could use an update (though I appreciate the 24 hour access).

    This is a very cute boutique hotel! The rooms are cute and cozy. I love the large bathroom and shower. They even have a snack bar in the room with everything packaged so well, with some funny additions. There's a hot tub on the roof with cabanas and a couple of fire pits. It was nice to sit up here in the evening while studying. The view is gorgeous! The staff is friendly and the location is so convenient. You're right downtown and just need to cross the street to all the shops. You can walk to the lake in 15-20 min. I gave only gave three stars because while the aesthetics are great, I didn't feel like the hotel was as clean as most others I stay at, even the lower-end ones. One of the beds had some stuff on it as if someone put their suitcase on it and the wheels left debris on the comforter - which is fine, it's on top, but I would expect this to get dusted off. There was also a hair on one of the pillows that were questionable (did it get stuck in the fibers while washing or was it unwashed?). I also grabbed a washcloth that upon unfolding, had a lipstick print in it (BUT ALSO, LADIES, USE A TISSUE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE). Other than those cleanliness issues, everything else was great.

    Honestly, there is no chicer place to stay in Whitefish This is a small boutique hotel that focuses on service and luxury. Service is impeccable, rooms are gorgeous (just take a look at the bathrooms) and they have an excellent restaurant. While Firebrand may be only four stories, they have a hot-tub on the roof and you can look over this small town and relax in the thought of being no where. Stargazing here is so memorable. This property is right downtown, so there are many shops, restaurants (Craggy's, Amazing crepes.) that are only a block away. I wanted R & R on this trip and Firebrand hit all the buttons. I will be back... if you're looking for the best, look no further.

    I enjoyed my meal at the bar. It's great for when you want to just stay at the hotel and relax. I'm not sure if the menus change seasonally.

    We took a random road trip this last Saturday and ended up in Kalispell at Los Corporales for Mexican food. Delicious! We were wondering where to stay and one of the regulars, I think her name was Holly, told us about the Firebrand Hotel. Beautifully renovated and right in the middle of town! Good price for the time of year (in between seasons) and everyone was so nice - There's also a shuttle that takes you to the sister property The Lodge I think it's called. We walked around town and then went back to go to sleep- MOST comfortable beds and lovely decor. Sunday morning we went up to the rooftop jacuzzi - the views were amazing! Sounds like we have a new tradition after Thanksgiving! Are the beds for sale? If not, they should be :)

    With all the positive reviews I thought this place would be a home run, until you realize the recent reviews are terrible. First impression started with the check-in...where we waited 15 minutes while the front desk was on the phone. And without acknowledging us with even a "hi be with you in a moment!". We waited so long I decided to grab us some beers from the bar while we stood there... Later that night we had drinks and listened to the live duo band, that part was awesome, and the room was nice- for these reasons I add a star. Unfortunately things went down from here, when heading back to Our room we ask the front desk (same girl who eventually checked us in) for a wine key to take back to the room. She directs me back to the bar, who then directs me back to the desk- then tells me they don't have any. We have quite a bit of a back and forth - she has a combative approach to my request, and I'm left kind of stunned. (And might I add that for a $300/night hotel this seems like a very simple request). We left the lobby and met two women in the elevator who were just as astounded by the terrible service as we were. The next morning the hotel sent us a text asking us about our experience, so I'm thinking "ok they are directly asking us- so we'll tell them!" They ask for a rating 1-10 and we give them a 2 with a simple note about why. And hear nothing back. I would think that this would have been a great opportunity for them to rectify... but they didn't even reply. It's actually laughable. The location is great, the rooms are nice, the live music was cool, but the service sucks :/

We were celebrating our 36th anniversary we checked in on Monday night. We wanted to have dinner at the boat club. They told us there was one table available. I was so excited until she came back and told me sorry we are completely full. I asked I could change the time of my reservation and she said no only two servers tonight and they could not squeeze one more table.

There was complementary free car parking across the road, even if you were not staying at the hotel. It is the lot with the hotel extension.. The property is based on a lake with so many activities like kayaking etc . There is a gated pool area for people who are staying at the lodge itself. If I was to return, I definitely would possibly stay here as it is close to lots of different trails and amenities and access to the lake which is absolutely stunning and is a must do. The weather was not the best when we went so we couldn't enjoy much outdoors .. but would love to visit and stay at this property ! 100% recommend

    ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY INNS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!…read more I have been extraordinarily fortunate to travel extensively throughout my life and to stay in some truly exceptional places around the world. Yet after all those years and all those travels, I can honestly say I have never stayed at an inn that made me feel quite as welcomed, cared for and completely spoiled as Garden Wall Inn in Whitefish, Montana. The inn itself is beautiful - elegant while remaining cozy and welcoming, intimate, impeccably appointed and filled with all the details that make a place feel truly special. But what sets Garden Wall Inn apart is something much harder to describe and even harder to find: the extraordinary care behind absolutely everything. Nothing feels routine. My glass of wine was beautifully presented on a silver tray. There is a wonderful selection of pillows, excellent lighting, lovely linens and chocolates waiting at bedtime. Beautiful china and silver turn breakfast into an occasion. And those breakfasts! Local fruits and yogurts, the owners incredible baking and one delicious surprise after another, all beautifully prepared and presented. I may have come home a pound or two heavier, but every single ounce was worth it! Even our departure was made special. We were given fabulous travel breakfasts in beautiful bags, complete with personal notes signed by our hosts. It was such a small and gracious gesture, yet it perfectly captured what makes Garden Wall Inn so extraordinary: they think of the things you would never think to ask for. But the greatest luxury here isn't something you can photograph. It's the hospitality! There is a genuine warmth and generosity at Garden Wall Inn that cannot be manufactured or taught. You are not simply given a beautiful room and a wonderful breakfast - you are welcomed, looked after and made to feel that your stay truly matters. We arrived as guests and left feeling as though we were saying goodbye to friends. I have been home only a short time, and I'm already wishing Chris or Rhonda would appear at my desk with my beautifully presented glass of wine on a silver tray! There are beautiful hotels. There are charming inns. And then, every once in a great while, you discover a place that becomes one of the very best memories of the trip itself. Garden Wall Inn is that place! If your travels take you to Whitefish, stay here. And if they don't, you may want to find a reason for them to. I know I will be back - and soon I hope!

The restaurant in the hotel is very overpriced. We looked online at their menu online before heading to the restaurant. Once there, we discovered the restaurant the prices were higher. I would think it's easier to change the prices online than print new menus. The new menus had the higher prices. The hotel is VERY CLOSE to a railroad crossing! BEWARE! Train whistles go all night. Impossible to ignore. If you must stay at this "resort" get a room on the second floor. It may be quieter. Once we just got to sleep with the train whistles, we were awakened both nights we were here with what seemed to be a stampede between 2am and 4am from thoughtless people in the room above. The ceilings/floors are thin and not noise proof. The daily resort fee is just a cash grab. They say it's for the pool (small, indoor) room amenities (foamy coffee) and WiFi and some other things. Lastly, the confirmation email I received just SIX weeks before our stay mentioned the daily breakfast buffet being $18 per person. The buffet is now $28 per person! I asked the morning front desk attendant on 9/22/26 (who looked like she just rolled out of bed, and couldn't say good morning if her life depended on it) said that "was last year's prices". Then why was is it priced at $18 in an email I received just six weeks ago? That's not last year, and they raised it 30%? That's just form! It tells me they've lost track of the details it takes to be good. "I'll tell my manager", she said. I have to doubt that.
