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.

Upon check-in, the door was locked while employees sitting outside ignoring us. A paper was taped on door with last names of check-ins for that day and corresponding room#. Written was "key in your door". The room and bathroom were very clean, but baseboards and bathroom tile needs work. Bathroom and linens were very clean! One of the two mugs next to microwave had handle broken off. The grounds were very nice with trees, grass and seating.

Great little Motel
Started out a little rough for personal reasons but with the attentive management we checked into a lovely renovated room. Absolutely adorable western themed. The motel was very quiet and appeared to have contracted workers staying there.. possibly from road construction. My daughter and I felt very safe staying there. Great find on our cross country road trip

Just an average old motel. Had an ice bucket. Never found an ice machine. No one in the lobby, reception area. Think the owners are trying. But just not a good experience.

I love these old motels, they are so filled with nostalgia. Caboose Motel is classic; a bit rough around the edges and a little worn, but very clean and cozy. Bed is very comfortable, lighting is not great but passable, as a whole, it's charming and quaint.
