Everything was good, the only suggestion would be to provide dishwasher and change bed sheets if people are staying more than a day or two.
If you are staying here in the summer be prepared that the rooms have no AC units. They give you a fan for the room that does not cool the room at all. Honestly, if my stay wasn’t 14 hours away from home I wouldn’t have paid the amount I did for a place like this.
They did provide coffee in the rooms, 2 waters, and some candy that was very kind of them. It is located in the back of the town which is very nice to get out of traffic but still within minutes of town square and the West Yellowstone entrance.
The best "budget" hotel I've ever stayed at. It was clean, remodeled and had all amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There was even a little welcome present waiting for us upon arrival, some delicious local taffy.
The property was clean and new, and staff talked to was excellent with information, but during my 3 day stay, hosekeeping NEVER checked in with me to empty garbage or ask if I needed more towels. They were on the property each day but only seemed to clean empty rooms and then left.
Still a pleasant stay at a reasonable rate but a little weird about the housekeeping.
It was a pleasure staying at "The Lazy Duck" during my recent visit to West Yellowstone". The location was easy to find and Check-in was seamless. The room was clean, cute and well stocked for morning coffee. We appreciated the breakfast voucher to the "Old Town Cafe". Breakfast was great! We recommend "The Lazy Duck" for all future guests! Thank you so much for your hard work! The room was lovely!
The while family enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Duck Inn while skiing at Big Sky. Teenagers were very happy to not have to share a bed. Beds were very comfy. Lots of linens/towels provided. Very quiet location. The building is older but it was very clean and didn't feel "old"- we were very comfortable (new beds/bedding!). Great communication from managers and they even dug the grill out of storage so we could grill our steaks one night. Kitchen is small but it had everything we needed. The drive to and from Big Sky was light traffic (much easier than coming in from Bozeman). Loved this little sleepy town. Next time we will be sure to book a sled tour to complete our winter experience in West Yellowstone.
