The Junction Hotel and Hostel

No frills accommodations, clean but room was a bit run down. Ice machine in our building broken sitting our 4 day stay. Air con had difficulty keeping up. Loved the location on the creek and steps from the river, walkable location, popular app for bikers. They also allow pets!

Room needs a lot of repair in the bathroom. No coffee pot. Ice Machine had no ice three days two nights we were there. no coffee in the office in the morning, It was locked.

Boden des Zimmers leider sehr dreckig. Pool klein eiskalt. In der Lobby gibt es Kaffee bis 11:00 Uhr. Dieser war aber 10:45 Uhr leer und neuer wurde nicht gemacht („lohnt nicht mehr“). Lage aber gut in der Hauptstraße, Preis günstig.

Sadi/Front Desk Staff & Pena/Jose’ from housekeeping = very accommodating, patient, kind! I like that kitchen facility/community room is available at all hours, reasonably separated from main, sleeping quarters & - - hence - - noise from use of same isn’t disruptive. Although I didn’t swim, several guest mentioned enjoying the pool. ‘The Junction’ is an affordable stay in a lovely location w/friendly staff!

Room was fine. No in room coffee or hairdryer but are available in the lobby.

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.

Our visit was as expected. Room cleanliness was okay. Restroom vent was dirty and had not been cleaned lately! The bulbs were the least expensive that money can buy so the room was dark and gloomy. The A/C unit was very loud! You could not hear the tv without raising the volume when the unit was running. Oh and the ice machine was Out of service and did find until later that night after the office was closed.

Knowing what I had paid, I had reasonable expectations and they were met. Coffee is absolutely horrible. Bring a blanket as you essentially have two sheets to cover with—the bed cover is basically a sheet. There is a refrigerator in the lobby building and that’s the only source for ice. Be prepared to get ice elsewhere. It is what I expected.

The photos of the property look better than the actual facility. The hotel is painted a rather drab blue-grey color with orange accents. The check-in office smelled of gas once and burned food another time. The common room stove was filthy. The sink was filled with dirty dishes. The counter had crumbs and the rug and furniture needed cleaning and or replacing. The room needed a facelift as there were areas of doors, walls and the painted headboard area that lacked proper paint. The floors needed disinfecting. There was some sort of food on the floor perhaps for a dog? There were small bugs by the end table. The sheets and pillowcases had spots and were wrinkled. The refrigerator was not clean and the top of the microwave needed cleaning. There was no suitcase rack for our luggage. You could hear guests through wall areas. There were spills on the walkways and the concrete needed power washing. The flower beds were not well cared for. There was trash, weeds and cigarette butts on the grounds. The pool was not operational. The price was better than most hotels in Durango. The hotel-hostel was in an excellent location to download Durango and nature areas. The weeds really needed pulling. I would not recommend toxic poisons to kill the weeds as they can make guest with sensitivities very ill. The photos are misleading. If you just need a quick spot to lay your head for a night or two that’s not super expensive, buyer beware… this is a bare-bones basic hotel. Uniforms?

Totally cool staff at the front desk both days i was there. The pool is just amazing enough to be perfect. Not too noisy, the air conditioning worked and didnt smell. My room had the most comfortable bed !!!Great priceing and excellent location. Not one complaint. Except maybe the parking can get a bit insane. Otherwise..i will stay here everytime i go to durango. I am there once a month at least to see a specialsit at Mercy Hospital.

I slept in the back packers shared room. Unfortunately I work up covered in bites (bed bugs) over my entire body including my head. I informed staff on existing the Hotel /Hostel who was most apologetic. Hopefully they will do a deep clean

The place had bed bugs

It's a cheap place but the bathroom was dirty. In fact it wasn't cleaned. The property needs some serious work. The worst was i had to payca cash deposit because you couldnt use the card you paid for the room with.

Room was not clean on floor especially bathroom floors.Bugs on ceiling STRICT 3:00 check in! Man at front desk was extremely rude. Laundry facility more than half out of order along with ice machine out of order. Plug ins by sink did not work.

The only thing that worked was the toilet and air conditioner! Fridge did not work, tv did not work, sink would not drain, tub faucet ran at the same time as the shower head, all the floors were so dirty we wouldn’t walk on barefooted and the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door obviously couldn’t be read because the cleaning (LOL) people knocked three times before moving loudly to the next room! Advertised picture must have been taken somewhere else, looks NOTHING like it!

The floor was dirty. The towels were stained. The ice machine was broken. The tv remote didn’t work. The one bright spot was Faith. She went above and beyond to help me.

The room is located in a great spot. The price and location is why we chose to stay. When we go there the room felt muggy and we noticed quite a bit of stains in the towels and bed. We had the maintenance man lend us a heater because the room one didn’t work. There is no coffee machine in the room. We still stayed for two nights.

Dirty: food crumbs and bugs in both rooms we were given. We ended up finding a new hotel and did not stay

First…the staff was very friendly so this review does not reflect on them. This was a very cheap room so I didn’t expect perfection, but… The bathroom door was insanely scratched up…it looked like someone got stuck in there and had to claw their way out. There were blood spots on the bedspread of one bed so we didn’t use that one. There was hair on the bathroom floor. And the room had bleach fumes so bad that my eyes burned. You can also hear the toilets running in adjacent rooms.

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 walls and ceiling are paper thin. We could hear everything all the time. It sounded like the people upstairs were running with high heels on. Outside we could hear everyone talking when they would get there. We could hear other people’s alarms going off at all hours. Not relaxing at all, it was however clean. The maids were excellent. The check in process was easy and the lady up front was really polite and friendly. This is really just a problem of poorly built rooms.

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.

This property is good for the younger crowd but if you are over 30 or prefer a quiet room I would recommend spending a few extra dollars and staying somewhere nicer. You can hear every movement from the other rooms. The guests in the room above mine sounded like they were playing football the first part of the evening. The property definitely needed sprucing up.

Comfortable beds, reliable Wifi, no carpet. This location is an easy walk to the river trail, where you can see deer and the Durango-Silverton steam train. Great place to stay with dogs!

The noise of slamming doors was very loud. It did quite down at later. But if you wanted to sleep before 9 it wasn't really possible.

Not a nice place, there is too much noise coming from other rooms, if someone takes a shower in one room close to yours you can feel it as if you are inside the shower, so noisy, you can hear conversations, steps, etc.

I think everything was very comfortable and the walls are a little thin, but it didn’t disturb us as far as sleeping for the price you cannot go wrong

This is a renovated hotel right in the heart of Durango, CO on the main drag and walkable to various restaurants and stores. Perks: if you want to cook a meal, there’s a full kitchen right behind the front desk. Take a walk behind the hotel and you’ll find a relaxing babbling brook to enjoy. The place even has a laundry room on site. My room was “standard” - 6 nights - two comfy queen beds, a table to eat at or open the laptop, nice TV, mini frig and a microwave. WiFi was fast and water pressure in the shower was perfect. All that and the price was truly affordable! When you check in, ask for Eddie at the front desk and tell him Kim said HOWDY from Texas. Great guy and a true asset to the place! I’ll definitely be back!

Not a bad little spot but water pressure and shower is long overdue for a repair. Expensive for what you get but comparable for the area. Overall not bad and would happily come back

The staff were really kind and helpful. They made my late check in process a smoother one. It was so convenient to walk around. It had both quiet places and was easily accessible from the main street. The property management should work on fixing a couple of small damages within the room and also need to ensure everything is clean and clear before check ins.

Does not match description or photos. Got locked out of my room and it took 2.5 hours to get in.

We checked in, were put on the 2nd floor, stairs were very icy, the next morning my friend slipped on the ice and fell hard. I went to the office to tell them and found out we were put in the wrong room, we were supposed to be on the first floor. The room we were in had a checkout of that morning. I said NO, we were checking out on Sunday. She said she fixed it but when we got back to the room that evening, we were locked out and they have no one in the office. I called the number, she sent maintenance to open our room, we hadn't had dinner yet and decided instead of having to go through that again, we just door dashed (and the selection was not great) Will not stay there again.

Office closed at 11pm.. i arrives at 1130pm. I tried calling, voice mail said they closecat 1130pm. Posted on the door was a faded paper statingbthat after hours check in was done with a code to a small lock box that contained the card key. The box was very hard to unlock. The room was basic. Beds were kind of hard. The frig was turned off, i didnt realized until the next day. The microwave had a burn mard on the door glass, i didnt use it. Bathroom sink counter was bearly attached to the wall. Only one lock on the entry door. Needs major updating on the rooms.

Staff was really friendly. Had a few small issues. Within a few minutes of letting the front desk know about them, the maintenance man had them fixed.

Terrible customer service. We had an appt, had driven hundreds of miles and just wanted our room. Desk person was on a personal call- when he finally spoke to me he informed me I couldn’t check in until 3 pm ( it was 2:40 pm)!! I explained our appt his response was it wasn’t his problem. By 3:15 he still wouldn’t give us our room, it was actually 3:30 before he allowed us to have a key!! Our appt was 4, barely time to put luggage down and make the appt! Breakfast left something to be desired as well- one man came in and left saying “NO Thank You”! I won’t be back!! Old building needs repairs!!!

Customer service was great

Very friendly staff

So I show up about 30 minutes early, Dave completely ignores me as I’m standing there. Then he finally goes “what do you need?” I tell him I’m trying to figure out where our room is so I can park by our room as my wife and two dogs walk around the city (reasonable right?) He says “check in isn’t until 3” I tell him I’m just trying to park and he says “I’m doing something really important” (I’d say this falls under doing your job) and so I had to leave for 20 minutes. When I came

They canceled my reservation at 8 pm. Had to find a place last minute.

No frills accommodations, clean but room was a bit run down. Ice machine in our building broken sitting our 4 day stay. Air con had difficulty keeping up. Loved the location on the creek and steps from the river, walkable location, popular app for bikers. They also allow pets!

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 Junction provided a safe, clean place for our needs. Nice surprise to see how close it was to a beautiful walking path near the river. We enjoyed getting into downtown Durango along this path.

This property was great for a quick overnight stay with our dogs. They gave us a downstairs room & there is green space to walk our dogs & a small creek behind. However, the people hanging out around the motel seemed unsafe.

Area was nice and close to dinning and activities.

Easy access to the Animas riverwas lovely

Quiet, clean. River running by our room was a bonus.

Good location with easy access to all main areas & visiting locations.

Economical place to stay in Durango. Close to downtown.

I liked the walking trails in the area. The room wasn’t very clean and no continental breakfast.

Front desk staff was helpful and kind. The room was comfortable. No coffee or tea available in the room. It was easy to hear upstairs neighbor - was woken at 6:15 from their shuffling around.
