Close to yellow stone west entrance, and sufficient eating options around. But for the price, small and pretty dated. No house keeping services regardless of how long your stay is. So if traveling with young kids, do not expect your trash to be taken out or bathroom or room to get cleaned during your stay. Also our flight got cancelled so had to move the dates of our stay forward by one day and they did not accommodate that at all.

We stayed at room 22 and there's a strong unpleasant smell in the room which was disgusting - it feels like someone cooked Indian food in this room for a while and the smell doesn't leave the room. I wanna say it's not the foods problem, I wish the motel house keeping could do a better job by cleaning the smell as well. This is a motel comes with kitchen so if you do not have cooking needs I do not recommend staying here. The whole night I was struggling with the weird smell and didnt rest well. Plus there's a diffuser in the kitchen which was almost gone, it could have been replaced for a new one. Additionally, some maintenance person knocked our door asking for maintenance. He said he thought we were checked out? Ugh overall I couldn't believe this is a 4.6 rating place.

Also the parking lot in front of the rooms has limited space and I tried to call the emergency number to figure out but no one answered the phone.

It was a remodeled old motel. It was charming. The bed was really comfortable. They gave you a bag full of candy and some microwave popcorn. They didn’t have an ice machine out yet but the person who checks the rooms got me some asap. Plenty of parking and looked like nice grills but really don’t have plates or forks, so we didn’t grill. They did give you paper plates but didn’t want to eat a nice steak on those.

I was very disappointed with my stay, especially considering the nearly $300 price tag after taxes and fees.

Upon arrival, the property appeared abandoned. The parking lot was empty, there was no guest services desk or staff on site, and all check-in information was sent via text message. While I understand some properties use contactless check-in, the overall condition of the property made the experience feel unsettling rather than convenient.

The staircase leading to our room had visibly dirty carpeting, and while the room itself had been renovated, the workmanship appeared subpar. The room was also overwhelmed by a strong chemical cleaning odor that made it uncomfortable to spend time in.

Adding to the poor first impression, several areas of the property appeared unfinished or neglected. Old chairs were surrounded by caution tape, and multiple units were blocked off, which further contributed to the appearance of a property that was either under construction or not fully operational.

When I contacted the hotel to discuss my concerns, the representative I spoke with was dismissive and condescending. I was told someone would follow up with me regarding my concerns, but I never received any further communication.

For the amount charged, I expected a much higher standard of cleanliness, maintenance, customer service, and overall presentation. Unfortunately, this stay did not meet those expectations, and I would not choose this property again.

The room is clean but needs airing. My nose is extra sensitive and I can smell a strong scent/odour that I can’t describe. However, when I opened the door for 15 minutes, it became tolerable (could be a problem in the winter). The room is neat and tidy and the towels are fairly new. I like that there’s a microwave and fridge and a huge tv (although I don’t really like to watch tv). The walls are somehow thin and you can hear the conversation from the next room, and they were talking until past midnight. There is not enough parking for everyone but you can park at the side street for free. There’s no front desk, however they will answer your call right away if you need help. It’s not also that far from restaurants and shop, it’s about 5-7 minute drive. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied considering the cheaper prize that I paid compared to the other hotels that you can find in the area. I will surely come back to stay whenever I’m in Yellowstone. I would give it a 4.5 if there is that option.

SO expensive for what you get, 90 a night for a cleaning fee, small rooms. They were clean and cute and an easy mile walk to the main shopping and dining areas. Area around hotel was very dark at night and run down but did not encounter any safety issues. Minutes drive to the west entrance of park! No staff on site but they were relatively responsive via text if needed. We only stayed two nights but for longer stays, would want a clean and fresh supplies. At 350 a night, would maybe stay again since all hotels and motels in the area charge very high fees due to the proximity to the park. Cute updated style motel over all. Had all the supplies needed, bottle water for one night, wine and coffee glasses, coffee and plasticware and plates.

I just had the most fantastic stay at The Lazy Duck! From the moment I checked in, it as clear this place understands what travelers truly appreciate. They've absolutely mastered the art of paying attention to the small things that make a huge difference.
First off, let's talk about the grills outside for guest use. This was an absolute game-changer! After a long day in the park, being able to cook our own dinner outdoors was such a treat. The grills were clean, well-maintained, and perfectly situated for a relaxed evening, with ample areas to eat outdoors also. It added a whole new level of convenience and enjoyment to our trip.
And speaking of convenience, I have to give a special shout-out to their ice machine. Now, I know it sounds minor, but how many times have you encountered a slow, sputtering, or just plain sad ice machine at a hotel? Not here! Their ice machine was fast, efficient, and never ran out. It's a small detail, but it speaks volumes about their commitment to guest comfort.
Beyond these standout features, every aspect of our room felt thoughtfully considered. The linens were crisp, the amenities were top-notch, and everything was immaculately clean. It's rare to find a motel that gets every little detail right, but The Lazy Duck has truly achieved it. I can't recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be back!

Had a great stay at the Lazy Duck. It’s a little on the outskirts of town, but the town is so small it didn’t matter, we still walked to diner one night. It was quiet and comfortable. We stayed Labor Day weekend and no AC was no problem we just opened the windows at night. We enjoyed the breakfast voucher but only used it once since most days we left for Yellowstone early. We liked the seating and picnic tables outside. We liked not having to “check in” and just getting sent a door code. We would stay here again.
