We called hotel directly because we have stayed there multiple times. This time we were told that we had to book online. So we did thru hotels.com on my existing business account. We arrived at the hotel to a window covered with a huge printed sign saying scan here to make a reservation or check the text message you received in order to get your room number and door code. I didn't receive a text, only confirmation from Hotels.com. I pushed the doorbell and no one answered. I called the number and got recording. He called back saying the text was sent to another number listed on my account. So he sent it to the phone i had. Then I had to fill out everything on my phone, standing in the cold and wind, then had to upload a pic of my driver license. Because I booked 2 rooms, I had to do that process twice. I am old school. I hate apps...do not like having anything such as my driver license or address on my phone. There is something to be said for personal service. Apparently the owner needs passive income because this certainly didn't have any personal service. There was even a cabinet outside next to the office window with extra self serve supplies. Will not stay here again.

I’d probably stay at the Wapiti again because it is clean, well maintained and more affordable than other places in Durango. The online instructions for checking in were pretty easy to follow. Beds, linens and pillows were very comfortable, and fridge, coffee machine and microwave were good to have. Honestly, the only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the smell of cleaning products, which we tackled with open windows and which put this in the four star and not five star category.

Clean, spacious, comfortable basic motel room at a great price. Walking distance to downtown. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Would be nice to have ice available on premises.

My biggest complaint is that I got an auto-generated text message that WOKE ME FROM A SOUND SLEEP AT 5:30 a.m. If this is what it means to have a no-staff property, then I'll find other accommodations. Annoying and confusing complaints were: No towel bars in the shower area or near the sink. No closet, no rod, no way to hang up anything. No surface to place luggage or lay out clothes that didn't block the tv receiver. Even the ironing board was broken and would not stand up. Water pressure was good, lovely new towels and comfy bed, but none of that mattered to me when I got such a rude awakening in the morning.

Nice little stay for the price. Right in town, easy access to everything. Outside of it looked a little run down but inside was super nice and clean, updated. Self check in, but our room wasn’t ready, staff apologized, understaffed, quick response via text with management. Overall would recommend!

Aug 2024

This is my third stay in the last 4 years. The updates were the first thing I noticed, my room was very clean and very well stocked with the essentials. The Wapiti is now a fully self serve place and everything went so smooth with getting room number and access. Overall 5 stars, great job!!!

Room was adequate but our rooms floor was unclean and we found trash on the floor. It also smelled strongly of smoke and did not dissipate.

Came to this hotel for the night and the cleanliness of the hotel was not up to par and expensive for what we paid and got bare minimum for cleanliness. For being a self service hotel and not cleaning the rooms properly is appalling. First our room floor was dirty you could not walk barefoot without getting dirt on your socks. Secondly in the bathroom we had found stained underwear and a tie dye shirt that were not ours. I had to use a towel to move them out of the bathroom. So I can tell the room was not throughly clean. (Picture below) Overall not a bad hotel was quiet and had no other issues check in was smooth snd easy.

Great for a one night stop. No extras (like a blow dryer) but all the essentials for sleep and shower. Looks to still be under renovations but overall good for the price considering other options in the area.

I was so pleasantly surprised. This is a no staff motel. Easy check in and the car right outside your door I love. Room is basic but spotlessly clean. Bed very comfortable and only two minutes from downtown. I will definitely stay here again

Room appeared to have been recently upgraded, was clean,etc. The wall mounted a/c unit was mounted too high to reach the controls. Need a ladder or a stool to operate. TV didnt work but was tild they where waiting for new equipment to be serviced.

The price was reasonable. The only window in the room faces the parking lot and walkway so there is not much privace with the shade up. Overall, a decent stay.

Just needed a place to sleep and it was ok for that. Although basically clean, this motel needs some serious updating. It was overpriced. (Many Durango properties were overpriced during eclipse weekend).

The property was not what it was advertised with a kitchen and onsuite and it was none of those things

This has to be the worst hotel I have stayed in in 40 years and that's saying a lot. The front door doesn't have a deadbolt. Air is pouring from around the door all night. The bathroom sink doesn't have hot water. You listen to heavy road noise until 11:00 p.m. at night. The walls are as dirt as you can imagine. The baseboards are only partly there. Owner you have to do better

Clean, comfortable and basic. No frills. Not a lot of space to park toiletries. Tub looked a bit grubby with cracks and stains.

Front Desk was very abrasive. Hard to communicate with. We feel like we were overcharged with the condition and comfort of the rooms. Charged us for the full stay even though we left early.

This was the best check in experience i have had in years!! The 2 gentlemen at front counter were very fast and very respectful, they even showed me to my room amd made sure i was comfortable with the accommodations.. wich i can say are absolutely beautiful freshly remodeled!! 💯 stay here any time i am in durango.. local owner and operator

Booked a room with two queen and a bunk bed… got one with two beds and two couches. It worked but it wasn’t what we booked. Tub was filthy, kids wouldn’t get in it. Overall “unsafe” atmosphere and I think we all went to sleep with one eye open.

Old and outdated.

DO not judge a book by its cover. This place is starting to shape up. The outside of the place is very deceiving. The have really put in a lot of work to this place and hopefully they continue. Looks rundown from the outside, but let me tell you the inside is completely remodeled. Very clean and renovated. No carpets, all new vinyl "wood" floors, new showers and very spacious. Especially the units in the back. Felt very safe and quiet. WOuld definitely stay there again.

Clean, comfortable and basic. Room looked to have been recently renovated. Might have been a work in progress. Walls were bare. Add hair dryer, iron and ironing board. No recycling provisions.

We needed a last minute place to stay, paid for booking. Arrived & there was no one to let us in nor anyone answering the phone. I would like to demand a full refund. This terrible experience has made our family question ever booking thru Expedia again.

Jul 2023

We chose to stay here because of the kitchen. The whole room smelled strong of curry, the stove was dirty the oven was filthy. There were no utensils, no dish soap and the dishwasher was inoperable. The refrigerator was missing a handle but otherwise worked fine. We ended up having to eat out more than we planned. The room was fine to just sleep that’s about it. No WI-FI password was provided, play ground area was full of overgrown vegetation. I also noted that there was a sign on smoking 20 feet away from the building per “Colorado Law” but no statute was cited. Dog waste was in the walk ways in the common areas. I did try to notify staff but despite the open sign on the door and being during business hours the door was locked.

Dirty, run down, room in need of repair. Old Corona beer left in frig. TV did not work. Have stayed before about 5 years ago and understand it is an older, small motel but was cleaner and had character. Has gone down quite a bit since then. Will not return.

The room was old and in terrible disrepair. Light and electric plugs were not covered. There were not blow dryers in the rooms. We had to go outside to cool off several times.
