The Caboose Motel calls itself the Charm of Durango. However, it is far from charming. We stayed there in May of '09. The hotel is old and the advertisements stated that all of the King rooms had been remodeled. Maybe in 1975! Old furniture, old bedding, old kitchenette. The chairs at the kitchen table were so dirty we did not... more

We arrived in Durango with no reservations, and after reading the reviews of this motel, we were a little concerned. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome from Maureen, one of the two owners, who was still in the office at 8:30 pm (while several nearby motels were already closed). Maureen offered to let us see the king... more

I’ve stayed at this hotel several times in the past and have found it in the past a very clean, inexpensive, comfortable alternative to the more expensive lodging chains in town. This time however I was a bit disappointed. First they ‘lost’ my reservation and suggested that they could ‘let’ me have their last available room, at a significantly higher... more

I read a mix of reviews for this motel before we left for our trip, so didn't pre-book. We arrived in Durango and all of the motels were over priced. The Caboose Inn was value for money. The owner was extremely pleasant. The room was clean and comfortable. The free bus into town stopped right outside the motel so access... more

We made reservations nearly two months in advance of our visit to Durango. We showed up to the motel after-hours, around midnight, after an unexpectedly long day of driving, with fitfully-sleeping kids in the car. I rang the office doorbell several times over a few minutes to no answer. There was no envelope or note for us as I thought... more

The lady who runs this motel has questionable integrity. We had a very bad experience with her. We found her rude and unapologetic for the error that made us search for another place to stay, in spite of the fact that we had made the reservation two months previous and had written paperwork to that effect. All she could say... more

Not bad, its was in town not a far drive from the center. The property was old but pretty clean. The room was very small and there was a window AC unit but in that part of the country i guess AC is not necessary. Internet access was so-so. more

My team stayed here for a weekend soccer tournament . Most of the rooms in town were booked except for this motel and now we know why. Most of the rooms were small and not so clean. Us kids had a great time on the field but we went to the community center to avoid staying at the dirty motel.... more
