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!
