Great Stay, thank you!
Was a really nice place to stay, really scenic. Has a nice little stream in the back where people were fishing and some deer came and visited us while we were there.

We had an amazing stay with the Junction Hotel, the kids loved the pool, it was very close to downtown and near the Recreation center which the kids also loved. The staff was great as well as the property being very well kept.

Definitely worth the price
The room was clean. It was a great deal for the price. And there is a stream right behind the property. Nice location near everything.

Junction Creek
I loved my corner room on the second floor. Standing on the second floor deck in the evening I watched a bear walk through the parking lot and then along Junction Creek.
I love the close access to the Animas river trail which I enjoy walking on into town and to restaurants.
And after a powerful afternoon thunderstorm I watched as Junction Creek briefly became a fast flowing creek on its way to the nearby Animas river.

Very nice, but the river that runs beside it is not a river. The room smelled like cat pee in the back part. Had a king size bed with only three flat pillows. Besides that it was great

It was okay… just for 2 nights
Bed was so-so, not great, very old mattress. Pillows were awful, made me glad I travel with some from home. Gnats in the room the first night all over the two main lights, not so bad the second night. Coffee in the office only is for the birds.. didn’t like that I can’t make coffee in the room. The pool was cool but clean and usable.

The hotel room for our family of 4 was just the right size and clean. It had television with good channels and mirrors outside of bathroom so i could do makeup when someone else was in the bathroom. It was a great shower! Great location with the river trail behind the hotel and a nearby stop for the free trolley. We used the trolley a lot since there were not any rental cars available in town. My only complaint was the mattress was not very good. Otherwise, it was quiet at night and great coffee each morning in the lobby. We would definitely come back to stay here.

The room was nice and clean. Im giving them a 4 for comfort just because that bed was to hard for my liking. But the location is great. It was nice and quiet. We sat out by the pool and enjoyed the afternoon and watched a few deer run across the street. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend

Decent stay in Durango, could use improvements
I arrived early (1 hour) in hopes to get into the room early if possible prior to taking family to the airport. The room was not ready which was absolutely fine and understandable so we were able to wait by the pool. As the hour went by and got closer to check in we went back to the front desk and were finally given a key and access after waiting a few minutes for staff to come back. It seemed like the staff may have been rushing as the room wasn't fully cleaned. There was dirt on the floor and the small fridge was full of the previous tenants food.

The room and bed were about what you would expect for a Hostel that shares a room with other people. It was a hot day and AC didn’t work so had to leave window open and that was next to a busy highway. Of not for the heat, would have been fine.

Don’t stay here
Do not recommend this hotel. They never came and cleaned the room or changed out the towels during our 3 day hotel. We were taking a nap and a maintenance man walked into the room did not knock first.

Affordable for young adults
Would have loved it as a college student but as adult in his 40s I would opt for a more comfortable hotel. The rooms were relatively clean the major complaint was the comfort of the beds and the walls were very poorly insulated so you could hear your neighbors.

The paper thin walls and sounds from the next room. No breakfast was included and parking was limited and the parking lot was dark. Location was the only plus about this property. Staff was not friendly but served their purpose to check in and check out. Housekeeping were friendly and said Hello.

I believe that they had occupants living there, so there was upstairs noise, of stomping and furniture being dragged. But other than that, no complaints!
