Worse motel we ever stayed at. Not sure why they called it Caboose Motel. Rooms very out of date and old. Toilet seat looked like an original with cracks and worn out... disgusting! We wouldn't even sit on it. No shampoo, no hair dryer, shabby towels. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Way overpriced. Too bad since we try... More

We stayed here during a month long road trip as we wanted to visit Durango and I've always had a fascination with trains. But the caboose theme ends at the lobby. The room are very plain and a bit outdated. The staff wasn't pleasant but coming through town again I think I'd choose to stay elsewhere. Perhaps someplace closer into... More

My two college age kids and I stayed overnight in June of 2011 and we found the motel very quaint in a nice way. I noticed that another person's review wasn't so happy with everything; but I feel like they would be better off at the more expensive hotels down the road since they seem a little more persnickety. Which... More

We had rather a strange start at the Caboose. Checked in no problem but when my husband went to wash his hands he discovered there was no plug for the basin in the bathroom. Maureen told him they’d disabled the mechanical plugs because people got confused with them and broke them. Doesn’t seem to happen in any other motel/hotel we’ve... More

This is a great place for Harley Owner's Group riders. It reminds me of the hotels of the yester years. It's clean, comfortable, and they are Harley friendly. They provide a clean rag and a bucket upon request so you can wash your Harely. Terry, has been just wonderful to work with the two times we have stayed with them.... More

The rooms are decorated in a cabin style, not your bulk standard motel. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, and the room was reasonably priced at $48. Some traffic noise from the road, so would recommend ear plugs. Oh, and don't expect to be able to walk to the historic downtown as it's almost 3 miles :-)

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... More

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.... More

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... More

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... More
