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.

Booked a room with two queen and a bunk bed⌠got one with two beds and two couches. It worked but it wasnât what we booked. Tub was filthy, kids wouldnât get in it. Overall âunsafeâ 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Old and outdated.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.

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.

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 thatâs 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 âColorado Lawâ 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.
1.0
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.

Room was nice, and check in was fast and friendly
1.0
Run down motel with poorly patched holes in the walls. The sink was wobbly but at least that part we had a warning about that at check in. The bathroom door had a broken knob and looked like someone had tried the break it down. The bathtub did not have a handle for the hot water. Also lots of dust under the beds.
1.0
This was a bad experience. The room had just been remodeled so that part was clean/nice. BUT, the oven was disgusting, dishes in the cabinets were put away dirty. Third bed was listed as bunk beds and it was a pull out couch that was horridly uncomfortable. I always am upfront that there are 5 adults staying and there are never enough towels. I had to go down and get more towels and then there was no cover for the third bed. Had to go down and ask again. He was not nice/friendly about having to give me more. I went and bought paper towels and dish soap just so we could stay there. Overall a bad experience.

The gentleman was very nice. The property was not kept up, grass not mowed and weeds were terrible. The floors under the bed were not cleaned - it was ok??
3.0
The Wapiti Lodge was very old and in rather bad shape.
Somehow they did a very good job of keeping the room clean.
The adjacent highway noise could not be heard in the room.
It was very inexpensive compared to everywhere else in the high season in Durango.

I felt like the place was not accurately presented on their booking site. My room had holes in the wall, dirty large cracks in the tub, trash littered all around the hot tub, and smelled like smoke. Overpriced for what you get. I had a two night booking ended up not even staying the night.
1.0
Pros: hot water, beds were ok, lights worked; cons: extremely dirty everywhere (unrecognizable stains on ceiling and walls, cobwebs, smells, shower and tub had stains and glue or black tar in the tub), hair around toilet base, crud pretty much on all baseboards, no window screen but the frame was still there. TV remote only worked the box, not the TV, so manual on/off and volume. The smoke detector did not have batteries so there was none. The pictures shown on website must have been from when it was first opened and not much cleaning has been done since then. I cannot believe I had to pay $100 a night for this place.
1.0
If I could rate in the negatives I would! The first room he tried to give us was like a up stairs apartment. It was dusty, nasty and smelt awful. I went and talked to the front and he was shocked and gave me another room. The 2nd room was better but awful too. There was blue tape on the bathroom door where someone had punched it. There was black tape holding up the wall unit. The beds were hard and it smelt old and musky. My kids refused to shower! My 2 year old bottoms of her feet were black after walking around. Please donât stay there!! The doors look like someone had broken In before. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere else.

Room was in pretty poor condition, beds were fine but most everything else was pretty sad

Very friendly staff. Quiet and safe surroundings. I would stay here again.

The property is filthy and stench in the rooms was horrid. The fixtures were ancient and dirty and the obvious recent attempts to cosmetically improve the room somehow made it even creepier. I left (fled) within minutes. Avoid at all costs!
4.0
Toilet was man size . Very quiet . Did need security chain on the door . Time for a new mattresses.
4.0
The room was pretty clean and large and there was a half wall separating the beds, the AC worked nicely, the refrigerator was nice and cold. I The property was old however and the finish on the bathtub was peeling. It was a bit slippery and I had to be careful. No math mat was provided for when I stepped out onto tile. Soap and lotion and shampoo were provided but no conditioner and I have long hair. Lastly not a whole lot of outlets and the one by my bed as missing its cover.
5.0
Very peaceful and enjoyable conversations with owner

It was perfect for what we needed and the price couldnât be beat compared to everything else in Durango. It housed 4 adults and a child for us. Half a mile or so from downtown. Everything was comfy & clean except the floors were a little dirty. It couldâve used a good sweeping but everything else about it was great. Beds were very comfortable and clean & we had lots of clean towels. Manager/owner was very nice & hospitable. Check-in took about thirty seconds.

Door âsecurityâ was broken, smelt really bad, $172 for 3 people isnât bad for last minute hotel stay, but it was disappointing all to see it wasnât very clean

It was a good value.

Holes in the door, things were broken in the room. We have stayed there many times over the last 4 years and always loved this cute little motelâŚbut this time it looks like it hasnât been taken care of. No longer will be on our list of hotels in the area

Just don't even think about staying here? One of the worst experience ever.
Room service and rooms are very poor!
4.0
Originally picked this property for the room with kitchenette. There was NO kitchenette !! Manager did give a small discount after we complained.
Rooms were clean, soft towels, and hot water.
Swing set was nice for my grandson's.
1.0
It has some good pointâs including location and parking. The main problem was the bed. One of the queen beds in my room was a basic affair with a foam mattress topper which meant it provided no support at all. Half way through the night i tested the other bed which had a proper mattress. Also there was a lot of noise from the television in the next door room. Otherwise a decent basic motel.
1.0
Office staff not available. No tv, wifi, credit card machine not working. Room not as advertised. Unsafe rundown motel.
2.0
AT first glance room seemed ok. But as we were there discovered outlets taped up, He did not honor the price what expedia had me reserved for so i paid an extra 64 bucks. King size bed was soft and caved in the middle. Spiders in shower.no one answered bell when i tried to get more TP and clean towels.and doubled up on taxes on bill. Diffently would not stay here again. Vending machines empty and no ice. We had 2 lamps next to bed and both outlets taped off. Wires showing on heater,thank god we didnt need heat.
1.0
Worst place ever stayed in. Curtains didnât fit, chair coming apart when you sit on it. Table coming apart, one leg stuck together with expanding foam, other leg stuck down with sellotape. Towel rail broke and missing. Old burnt out air conditioning unit still in room with the stains above on ceiling. Electrical sockets unsafe. Light over hand basin nearly on the ceiling, had to use a coat hanger to reach it, same goes for using the air con. Couldnât speak to manager on the morning or departure as he wouldnât come to reception when we called the bell, even though the times for reception clearly stated it would be open. The only positive comment I can make is that the young lady who cleans the rooms was very helpful and friendly. The whole room needed refurbished,
2.0
Room was relatively clean and comfortable. Bed was quite comfortable. A bit run-down. Funky odor in kitchen area. Lower priced for the area. You get what you pay for.
