    Terrible check in process, had to walk back to the office because the room was taken then had to get new keys made because the original key stopped working. Parking is a bit tight if you drive something bigger than a Chevy spark.

    The location is good. There is a coffee shop/ bakery across the street, which is good as there is no coffee in-room. Our shower was missing a diffuser, so hopefully that will be addressed for the next guest.

    I stayed in the King kitchenette room and would recommend this for other Solo travelers or even a couple. There was an impressive amount of counter space, a full-sized fridge, coffee maker, pots and pans and kitchenware, cooktop, and everything else you would need to prepare a simple meal in your room. There were even a few pantry items left over from previous guests. And it was all at a reasonable price, under a hundred bucks a night. Kind of like an extended stay room but slightly more affordable and right in downtown Durango. A good option for a short-term or a longer-term stay. The building is old but they've done a decent job maintaining it. "Budget" is in the name, and you might see a couple shady characters around, but it's perfectly safe and an affordable option

    Room and property were overall clean, just old and not kept up. The ice machine was broken, the room fridge was stinky with a towel in it. There was no hot water in the shower. I would not recommend this place.

    The microwave was filthy, crack below the door to the outside allowed plenty of cold air in, floor was peeling, bedding appeared used and unwashed, bathroom window dirty and full of bugs. No heat. We will never return!

    It is an older outdated inn that is reasonably priced and good location. For the price point you get what you pay for. Which is a place to sleep and clean up. If you are looking for more than that, this is probably not the place for you. The staff is always great to me and the reason I have stayed multiple times when I am on a budget.

    The sheets on my bed had what looked like blood splatter..I told the desk but didn’t seem concerned. There was a hair stuck on the shower wall. The floors were gritty like it had sand or something on it…You could not be barefoot. Faucet in the bathroom was so loose. I was afraid it was going to fall off. Other than in the bathroom, the only outlet was by the lamp and one of them did not work. My son also had a room and his ceiling was falling. The only thing good was the price, but I don’t think it was worth it.

    This is a budget hotel - says so in the name. Expect sirens, a lot of foot traffic, and putting a quarter in to get ice from the machine. Tiny room, train whistles early in the morning, hopefully you are here just to sleep and you have ways of sleeping through less than great conditions. Otherwise the front desk clerk was nice and friendly, you get an assigned parking space, I saw a lot of the traffic was actually other travelers, some of whom are visiting from other countries. Just don't expect too much quiet and comfort.

    The bathtub needed new caulking, it was black around the wall. I could not see my car where it was parked and worried about it. The other guests were very noisy and there was no way to avoid it. If I complained I don't think it would be safe for the staff to fix the situation.

    Tub wouldn't hold water. Sink wouldn't drain. Idiot next door turned on the TV, at 4:30am, and kept it on all morning. Our particular assigned parking spot was basically, on the street. Room is so small, you have to turn sideways, to move around. Our room seemed to be clean; however, our (grown) son's room was not very clean. The good news is, it's cheap, by today's standards.

    This place is extremely basic—they only offer coffee at 8 a.m. Literally, this is the only amenity they have. If this is the kind of experience I can expect here, I’d honestly prefer staying at a Motel 6. In fact, some Motel 6 locations are better than this one.

  • Kerry Sep 2025 · via expedia

    Nasty smell upon entering the room, looked like some tried to wash blood off the walls, huge gouge im the ceiling, dingy gray towels and sheets and the toilet didn't flush, obvious sign when there was a nasty plunger in the bathroom. I wouldn't recommend this motel to my dog. Budget priced at $90.

    Very, very old motel and very, very small. However, it was clean and the bed was fine. Just needed a place to be able to sleep for a night. Back in the day this would have been a $25 motel. Crazy to spend what just a few years ago would have gotten me a Comfort Inn. Oh well, it was okay for one night.

  • George Sep 2025 · via expedia

    Motel out of the 50s. Had to pay for ice. Way over priced for what you get. Needs a complete update. I think they tried with what they have to work with.

    Alleged new flooring was buckling in several places which was a tripping risk. Tile floor in bathroom was badly cracked. Bathroom sink did not drain adequately and missing a stopper. No Kleenex provided. On the plus side, management provided rags to clean motorcycle and woman at desk was clear with instructions. But the room should not have been available to clients in that condition.

    The location is perfect. It is close to a number of attractions in downtown Durango. The parking was okay. You have to drive through narrow alleys to leave. The room itself was comfortable and clean. The disappointing part was the linens and towels. It was evident they were laundered, but considering they are all white, they were all dingy and stained. The towels were super thin and rough feeling. Price wise, if you just want a place to sleep that is clean and plan on being out and about most of the time, pack your own towels and pillow and this will be a good place to stay.

    Normally, I'd say you get what you pay for, except I don't consider $86/night chopped liver and I've stayed in perfectly decent motels for that price. This Budget Inn was, to put it politely, w-a-y subpar. Threadbare towels, and A/C unit and a refrigerator both so noisy they prevented sleep, a non-working microwave (or, rather, it worked if you jiggled the power cord which had been "repaired" with electrical tape). Just awful.

    I will say this. The lady working the front desk was awesome and did everything right. The rooms on the other hand are quite awful. The bathtub/shower had mold in the grout. The drain had a nasty amount of hair in it (not mine) and after inspecting my blanket I noticed blood stains on them. Front desk gave me a note blanket and I suffered thru 2 nights because the room was already paid for. Don’t recommend.

    When I entered the room, it was very small. I wasn’t expecting that. To go in front of the bed to get to the bathroom there was about 12 inches and a dresser. When entering the bathroom, the window was open about a 1/2 inch and it could not be opened or closed. The towels were stained and a dingy grey. When I was showering, the wash cloth I used was very dirty!!!! 😳 The bed was great, the air conditioner was blowing cold. The floor looked like it was new, not too bad. I needed to get ice for my cooler and it cost .25 cents for 2 small ice buckets! There was not coffee maker but a nice small refrigerator and microwave.

It was very noisy, extrememely dated, the bed was terrible, headboard was sticky and my hair stuck to it when watching tv. The dresser & nightstand were very dirty. Bathroom towels & wash cloths were very thin, old, and rough. Could hear the people talking in the ajacent rooms as well as outside. The only good things I can say about the room was that the AC worked really well, very hot water, and no bugs of any sort. Again, this place was rated over 4 stars, nice advertising pictures of the rooms. But it's not what is advertised. The accomodations were not up to par for what I paid.

I will never stay here again and I'm embarrassed that I brought my husband to stay here. Very unsecure property. Sounds like the people outside the back of our room are in the room with us because the a/c unit is not sealed. Even for $100 per night, it's no deal!
