Bang ain’t worth the buck!!! The bad: young man who checked me in had a bad attitude like I was was an inconvenience. Property looks like a junk yard. Garbage in the drive way. Working on motorcycle right next to the entrance. Kids shoes right outside the front door. Junky vehicles bikes and misc junk all over the property. I will never stay at this place again. The good: the room was clean. Outdated but clean. These people need to get it together. Place has charm. Pick up all the garbage and clutter, change your attitude when checking guests in and then it would be a decent place to stay. Show some pride in your business. Bottom line you’ll never see me staying there again.

Charming Old Motel

Beginning with checkin when I met the pleasant owners, a father and son I was impressed . Their wives also help run it. It’s old and has not been remodeled to look new and that’s why I like it. It was clean with a comfortable bed. We will stay again

Wifi was very weak and intermittant. Limited electric plug ins (maybe add a newer lamp with an outlet and USB port?) and they were very "loose", in that the plug would fall out of the outlet. We like the mom n pop places, but this one was showing it's age. Tile floor in bathroom was broken with most of the grout missing.

The room was supposed to be remodeled but was not. Broken tiles all over the bathroom floor. My two little Yorkies would not stand or lay on the carpet which is unusual. Bed was lumpy and too soft. The owner's seem very nice and I am sure they are beginning a renovation or something. Thank you.

A special place

Perfect spot to land during an epic drive thru the mountains with the pup. Cute/retro motel. Friendly check in, including Raleigh, the sweet black lab who loved playing with me and the pup. Even came knocking the next morning before breakfast! 💕 Caboose will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where Jack met his first vacation friend!! Reminded me of my childhood roadtrips! easy access to downtown.

Good value for the price

The Caboose is a good value for the price. It's super clean, with a large, comfy bed. It is an older motel, but everything worked (except the internet the first night, but that was fixed the next day - probably a modem reboot). It's old school, so there's no 24-hour desk attendant. If you want something before of after hours, you have to call them. But they were super nice and accommodating. I also found it surprisingly quiet, especially since it's right on Durango's main drag. It's not too far from downtown, and there also a trolley stop not far away if you want to avoid the hassle and cost of parking downtown. Plenty of amenities nearby if you need them. Some rooms have kitchenettes -- mine did, and while I didn't really use it, it might be nice to have for a long stay if you don't want to eat out every meal. Overall, for a basic, budget stay in a pretty expensive town, I'd give it a thumbs up.
