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.

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.

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.

Great little Motel
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.

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. Pat Backofthebikelife

Clean and safe
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.
