Reservation or No Reservation?

Sadly, we have seen that from other people, especially expecting $200 rooms in a joint that tops out at $85!!! Two months ago, in the St. Mary's area of Glacier NP, a sudden storm blew through, and all rooms were taken by noon. The main, large hotels offered nothing, and wouldn't even call around! We stopped at a small, older motel that was also full, but the clerk immediately said she knew a small hotel about 8 miles north that had rooms half an hour ago, called them, and even had them hold a room for us. We went gave her a $20 tip, drove up, got one of 5 rooms left. Then we went across the road to a small cafe to eat while they were cleaning our room and getting it ready. When we returned from eating, there were two couples walking thru our room (which the maid was in, with an open door). They both turned their noses up, were kinda snotty, and said they would drive down to St. Mary and get rooms. We simply kept our mouths shut. An hour and a half when they returned, all rooms were already taken!!!! Sometimes these people DO get what they deserve!!!
