I was a bit concerned about staying at this motel because the reviews on the Internet were very varied. The front desk staff was excellent. They always tried to please and were very friendly and polite. When we first entered the room, the rug had not been vacuumed. I checked the rest of the room thoroughly and it was clean.

The free breakfast opens at 7:00 A.M. I would have preferred 6:30 a.m. It was standard motel breakfast food...waffles, toast, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, danish, fruit. All the items were fresh. The coffee was very good and always hot.

The towels in this hotel need to be replaced. They are old and some were torn or had holes. This was a big turnoff for me. I don't mind if the towel isn't expensive, but it should at least not look like it was used to wash the car.

The bed linens looked rather new, but the comforter's were old and need to be replaced. The mattress was comfortable. The TV was new, but the volume comes on full blast, so watch out!

This hotel has paper thin walls and windows. You could hear every single sound everywhere. Luckily, most of the occupants were older adults and so it wasn't a problem at night.

After the first night, we complained about the rug in our room not being vacuumed. The room was impeccably clean for the rest of our stay. They must use a spray because the room always smelled good.

Newspapers are available in the lobby, but only about four--so hurry if you want one. Coffee is available in the lobby all day. It tasted fresh even in the late afternoon. WiFi is free, but as others have said, it is extremely slow at night--or it doesn't work at all.

On the whole, I would stay there again because the price is right and Durango is a very expensive town for motel/hotels.
