quiet place to stay, bed is a little small for two people. Breakfast isn’t on site, you have to drive to a different place to eat and they only provide a voucher of $10.95 per person, you still need to pay what’s over and tips.
I had low expectations for this motel but it is actually very nice and comfortable.
Note: they say that breakfast is included, it’s not. They give a voucher for a local restaurant that will cover about 1/2 your bill. The room has a very good coffee set up and smal kitchen. We bought food and ate in.
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.
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.
It's a motel but you have almost all you need from a 3-star hotel. Everything have been careful considered and planned: bakfast, curtain, towels, drinking water, touch-activiated lamps, refregerator, TV, USB battery charger, shower, etc.
Property management folks that came during the day were very friendly and accommodating. Room overall was very mice and the decor was very nice. Mostly quiet in the evening and easy to sleep.

While we like the no contact check-in and out, the property did not live up to the advertising. There was no AC, only a fan. The shower stall was tiny, and we're not big people, maybe 3ft ×2ft.
The breakfast voucher was a nice touch but the restaurant's menu left little to be desired.
The town of West Yellowstone was fun. Nice shops that stayed open late. Great proximity to Yellowstone NP entrance.
Our stay at the Lazy Duck was comfortable with easy access to Yellowstone park. Plenty of dining options close by.
The only drawback was there is no AC although you don't need it at night and you should not be spending much time there during the day so it was fine with just a fan.
We would stay there again.
