We enjoyed our stay. King size bed was comfortable, room was clean and quiet, and hotel was near the main area of whitefish. Close to Glacier National park too. Breakfast was included and they had bear spray available for us to borrow, so check before you buy or rent your own. Pleasant experience all around.

Check-in is all self-serviced. There's a room map when you enter the lobby that's alphabetical, so know your room name before checking in to ensure it's easy to find. The room was clean. We enjoyed the balcony view and the wildlife we saw while there. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of books and games in the lobby. Staff was friendly and eager to help with anything to make our stay more enjoyable. What's unique about this property is there's plenty of privacy to get away from the crowds when needed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No staff onsite, and check-in was at 4:00 p.m. The digital check-in code didn’t work, so we had to call and try different codes on the door. The building is very old. The shower curtain was very dirty, with red discoloration at the bottom, and the bed made a squeaky noise whenever we turned over. We booked a “river view” room, but there was no view of the creek. Breakfast was good, but there were no hot food options. For over $200 per night, we expected better cleanliness, comfort, and some service.

Didn't know the entry was digital only until we got there. Had to wait for a code to be sent via email to get in the fent door and room. Charged an extra $35 for early check in. Not a ton of parking available. Easy to find and pretty spot right on the river - kids saw a doe and two fans in the evening. Went out for a while and door code did not work on our return - had to call and get a new one and then had to call again as code didn't work on room door. Seems there are some issues to be worked out with the digital entry. Breakfast was ok - cereal, toast, oatmeal, muffins and fruit. Would have liked more options for the price. Room was the Belton with an extra bedroom. Bathroom was nice sized. Easy drive to Glacier from the Inn and conveniences like gas, grocery and restaurants are close by.

The Duck Inn Lodge was adorable and a great place to stay on our family vacation. Room check in was easy, the room was clean, the view was great, the breakfast was welcoming and yummy, and check out was super easy. We would like to go back someday to visit the area again and I would stay at the Duck Inn Lodge again!

My family and I had stayed at this property many times over the years but after this recent stay I do see the negative change since the ownership flip. It's an older property that hasn't been kept up as it used to be, and everything is automated. The staff was responsive to questions via message, but for the amount you pay, the charm it once had isn't there or worth it anymore.
