West Yellowstone has a bunch of motels etc. I've seen lots of bikes there in the summers and never heard a complaint. Prices will be all over the board. I'd check the of the search engines for that. We're about an hour away but live up in the hills after a long gravel road drive. Leave the bike stored in town. West is a tourist trap but a good place to stay if you're doing the park.
On Browning, I'd keep right on driving through that place. IMHO, that is one of the unfriendlest spots in Montana. Between the panhandling, aggressive locals and dislike for tourists.....I'd find a bridge to stay under first. St. Anthony is a bit better.
Had a couple bad experiences in Browning, sorry for the downer....I won't spend a penny in their town.
Great bar in West called Bullwinkles. Head out along the road back to Ennis and stop at the Happy Hour Bar..they love bikers.

Welcome to MT! (when ya get here, of course.)

My better half and I stayed at the Golden West Motel in West Yellowstone last summer. The owners are super nice biker folks. The guy even offered to let me keep my bike in his shop, right by the motel office. And the rates are as good as your gonna find.

I can't speak about the east side of Glacier Park area, as I have not stayed there. Although as mont1340 suggested, I'd avoid Browning like the plague! I don't like that town. We have stayed in West Glacier on the other side of the park. I can't remember exactly where it was, but there are tons of decent places in that area. Hope your visit to MT is outstanding!

Ditto Browing. If you stay there better hope your bike is there in the morning. I think Browing has the highest homocide rate in the state course it is usually relatives killing relatives. I stop to get gas there and don't go inside to piss. Hungry Horse has nice places for reasonable rates and biker friendly. In fact I don't think you will find any motel in Montana that won't be biker friendly as long as your friendly.
