Very Cute Duck!

Its a renovated Motel at the far end of town thats maybe 4 or 3 blocks from main street. The pictures are exactly as it is with neat touches like an airbnb. Its very comfortable. Sweet place.

Great little motel, very close to the West entrance of Yellowstone. Nice little kitchen was handy. Shower was a bit small but otherwise great base for seeing the park.

Tara looks sketchy but it’s not, just the looks. Bed is super comfy. You won’t ever meet any staff as I never saw one person. Don’t expect any morning service, but the bed is insanely comfortable. You are safe on that area

Clean. Quiet. Comfy. We booked our stay for a last minute trip at the Lazy Duck and were not disappointed! A great spot as a base camp for Yellowstone National Park. No breakfast on property—-but you do get breakfast vouchers at a nearby cafe. We would definetly stay here again and look forward to how the property evolves as it is under new management.

Very Clean, very quiet, reasonable price. You get a breakfast voucher for a nice local restaurant, but it was unclear if it was for one or every day of my stay, and the restaurant doesn't open until 8:00 a.m. No kleenex in the room.

Wi-Fi signal is not good in room.
Xiaohe, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was very pleasant and clean, however, the Wi-Fi did not work at all. The TV volume was turned down so low that you could barely hear it even right in front of it and it took a good ten minutes of fooling with it to get it to where you could hear. There was no staff on the property to answer any questions and of course, no breakfast. For $310 a night, I would expect better. $109 of this was taxes and fees. I would never stay in West Yellowstone again. Cody, WY by the east entrance to Yellowstone is much more tourist friendly.

The Lazy Duck Inn is conveniently located close to the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Also it is close to restaurants and shopping. The room was clean, attractive and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

I liked the easy check in process! Though wasn’t a real check in, the host just texted me the code to get in the room. The door wasn’t secure when we arrived so that was a little strange. Room was decorated nicely. Clean.

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!

I love the check in process which was great when people are arriving at different times. The place is clean and super cute. We will definately stay here again. The doors could use some WD40 and the heater in my room needs some maintaince but other than that it was perfect.
