This property is good for the younger crowd but if you are over 30 or prefer a quiet room I would recommend spending a few extra dollars and staying somewhere nicer. You can hear every movement from the other rooms. The guests in the room above mine sounded like they were playing football the first part of the evening. The property definitely needed sprucing up.

The Junction Hotel and Hostel is fine if one is just looking for a simple bed. It's a bit of an old motel that is now also a hostel for hikers. The walls are thin, the staff is more or less non-existent and the location is fine for Durango. My main issue is their "dynamic" pricing. With very few rooms available in Durango when I was there, they raised their pricing to $100 per bed for the hostel when I called fairly late in the day looking for somewhere to stay. Would I stay there again? Only if nothing else were available.

The photos showed a clean, simple hostel, but the reality was shocking. When I arrived, the place was surrounded by drunken motorcyclists. Inside, the room was filthy — bugs crawling around, stains covering the bedding, poor lighting, and clearly not cleaned in a long time. The “linens” wouldn’t be acceptable even in a jail. The only clean part was the shower and toilet. I asked the front desk (CJ) for a refund, and while he admitted I deserved one, he couldn’t provide it. This property is a complete misrepresentation and a rip-off at $155. Avoid at all costs.

Not a nice place, there is too much noise coming from other rooms, if someone takes a shower in one room close to yours you can feel it as if you are inside the shower, so noisy, you can hear conversations, steps, etc.

Junction Creek

I loved my corner room on the second floor. Standing on the second floor deck in the evening I watched a bear walk through the parking lot and then along Junction Creek. I love the close access to the Animas river trail which I enjoy walking on into town and to restaurants. And after a powerful afternoon thunderstorm I watched as Junction Creek briefly became a fast flowing creek on its way to the nearby Animas river.
