“Nice Management, basic room, nothing to "write home about"....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

Did not have reservation but had noticed motel on previous trips to Durango: cute from outside, name intrigued me. Had priced around town, finding room rates to be across the board but a busy time of year. For the price Caboose Motel charged us (two pax for about $95/night) we should have been staying in a NICE motel, not this basic, "plain jane" motel......not even dual pane windows (traffic was LOUD!) nor was breakfast included...must say bathroom was clean & they do provide a four cup coffee maker, small fridge & microwave. Just found that motel is way over priced for what they offer, esp. for a midweek stay (Monday and Tuesday nights) even if it was July....I'd have GLADLY paid $49/night but NOT double!

Room Tip: IF you have to stay there, ask for room away from main road: LOUD and windows are NOT dual paned...

“great location, clean spacious rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

we drove around town, stopped at a few and asked prices. This hotel seemed to be the cleanest for the price. Lady at check in was very friendly, helpful for recommendations of restaurants, even gave us a coupon for "ore house" (great steaks!) Room was spacious, was surprised to see a kitchenette. The room was clean, bathroom was good size. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it! Short drive to down town, or shuttle stop is right next door.

“A little pricey but definitely a small gem”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

Dog friendly. Our room #3 had been updated. Rustic, felt like new beds, good shower. I'll say it's a little pricey since it comes with no type of morning meal. Great staff recommendations for food in town. The Serious Texas BBQ , next door, for dinner and Oscar's for breakfast was amazing eats. If you want to be downtown in the mix, this motel is a few miles short.

“Dated & decent, but beds are HARD!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

Stayed here two nights with my family of 5. The decor is very dated, but that doesn't matter to us. What did matter was that the beds were incredibly firm -- way too firm. Of 5 places we stayed on vacation, we got the worst sleep here. Other than that, the accommodations were fine, including the kitchen, which was a very nice amentiy.

“Cute Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011

Cute motel. Had what we needed: a kitchenette (stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker) and a place that allowed pets. Everyone was friendly--guests and managers alike. Clean, comfortable bed, and (like most old motels) you can park right in front of your room--no elevators, endless interior hallways, etc.)
