Family weekend getaway. Owners were very accommodating and helpful. Room was very clean and beds were comfortable. Quiet even though close to main road. Will stay again in the future.

Beginning with checkin when I met the pleasant owners, a father and son I was impressed . Their wives also help run it. It’s old and has not been remodeled to look new and that’s why I like it. It was clean with a comfortable bed. We will stay again

Wifi was very weak and intermittant. Limited electric plug ins (maybe add a newer lamp with an outlet and USB port?) and they were very "loose", in that the plug would fall out of the outlet. We like the mom n pop places, but this one was showing it's age. Tile floor in bathroom was broken with most of the grout missing.

The room was supposed to be remodeled but was not. Broken tiles all over the bathroom floor. My two little Yorkies would not stand or lay on the carpet which is unusual. Bed was lumpy and too soft. The owner's seem very nice and I am sure they are beginning a renovation or something. Thank you.

Old comforter and blanket need to be replaced from the 70's. Buy a white blanket you can bleach. Get rid of.old throw pillows that probavly dont vet washed and thrown on the bed.

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.

There was very littlr outside noise and is a nice distance from main road. Was disappointed that there was no dish soap to wash dishes or pans to cook in. Light in kitchen #10 going out.

Just don’t. Particularly the family suite. There are no words.

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.

Everything was alright

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.

This motel had everything that you would expect for brief lodging and all was in perfect working order. The staff was incredible.

Great, clean and comfortable stay close to Main street. Wes was super friendly and checked me in quickly and recommended a excellent place for dinner. This will be my new go too for a night or two stay in Durango.

Very clean. Older hotel, but modern conveniences. 15 Minutes to train. Will stay here anytime I'm in Durango.

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.

The bed was super soft wasn’t comfortable.The room was very outdated. The walls are thin. You get what you pay for.

A quaint little place. Stayed 2 different times within a 10 day period. First room needed some work and deep cleaning, minor updating wouldn't have hurt. 2nd visit in a different room and it was better/cleaner. Certainly not the Ritz but we enjoyed our stay in a cute little local motel with a long family history.

It is “pet friendly “ just not cat friendly. We stayed somewhere else that night.
3.0
For a night it was fine, but not very clean, it did smell funny and the decore lacked any consistency.
I wouldn't stay again

It was great that they only charged $10 for our dog. Lots of street noise as well as the room next door. Nice grounds and close to walking path along the river
4.0
Value was OK but our room could do with a renovation and maintenance in many areas - no working ventilation in bathroom, WiFi not working through our whole 3-night stay despite reporting to front desk, taps dripping in kitchenette and bathroom. No major complaints but we'd look for somewhere in town or in Mancos next time for a visit to Mesa Verde/Durango.

The caboose was a great one night stay for us. The bed was good, water pressure in the shower was just fine, and the little gated area was perfect for our young dog. The Gazebo had a nice selection of games. Nice to hear the train whistle every so often, too.

The room was adequate but without a dresser or bedside table. Bathroom was only ok - shower floor was cracked, missing floor grout, floor could have been cleaner. Location was great.

Good room, but overpriced.

Friendly staff. The room was poorly lit and the door was in such bad condition that you could hear every car, truck and motorcycle that drove by the property.

The owner and staff were wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. The property is older but very well taken care of, clean and comfortable
5.0
This is a little gem and a must stay. We have traveled over 26 states on our motorcycle and have stayed at many small motels. This is one on the to of our list and will definitely come back. Very cute and clean. The staff is great and welcoming. The grounds have plenty of places to sit and relax. If you are exploring the area or just passing through on an overnite, this is on that you will love.

Caboose was such a neat little motel. It is no frills but clean clean clean. Staff was nice and courteous. It takes you back to days when you are young like the 1970s. A real key on a caboose key chain, front of room parking, If in Durango I recommend The Caboose.
