Econo Lodge Inn & Suites

"I brought a group of 15 Graduate students here for two nights as part of a field seminar starting in Durango. This morning one of my students took a photo if a bed bug, showed the front desk who said it was a bed bug, and then we spent the entire day cleaning all of our clothes, camping equipment, and cars. We spent a few hundred dollars collectively on new clothes to wear while we cleaned, detergent, specialty cleaning material for our gear, and at the laundromat. Management called my student who had found the bed bug and comped her room. When she asked about the other rooms the manager called her an extortionist and threatened to sue her for libel if she said anything about it online. He then said we brought the bug with us. I've had a good experience taking this seminar to this location before. And I'm fine having a frank discussion about the situation and figuring out the right answer. But calling a young woman names and threatening her with a lawsuit over the phone is absolutely beyond the pale. Would not recommend, will not return."

"Great budget motel! Stayed here for a few nights to ski Purgatory and had a good experience. The queen room was quite small, the sink drain was very slow and shower a bit dirty but no major issues. Good heat in the winter, decently comfortable bed, and overall felt safe. The hot tub was nice too. Free breakfast 6-9am with yogurts, waffles, cereal, muffins and oatmeal. For the price you can’t beat it and I’ll be back next time I’m in Durango."

"Conveniently located on North Main Ave. Durango trolley stop located across the street. Buses run every 20 minutes. There is plenty of parking in the main lot, back lot, and side of building for longer vehicles. Clean, comfortable rooms. Simple breakfast offered from 6am-9am. Close to many great sit-down restaurants. The staff is helpful and kind."

"I’m quite surprised that this place is poorly rated by anyone. This is probably one of the best run hotels in Durango. It’s an Econo Lodge guys. Breakfast will be limited, rooms might be dated, you’re not sleeping on the most expensive mattresses, your TV isn’t going to be the biggest. But this place has everything you need for a quick stay. It’s remarkably clean for a budget hotel, staff were perfectly friendly, and they even have a hot tub (that also seemed perfectly clean). The hotel really tries hard to keep out riff raft, which it attracts because of the very low prices. I think some of their policies to keep trash out of the hotel has caused some negative reviews. My only complaint was that road noise was pretty loud, but that’s not really anything the hotel can fix. A good pair of earplugs can resolve that issue in a jiffy. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone passing through Durango that needs a place to crash for a couple nights."

"For the price, around $100 after tax, absolutely 5 stars. We arrived late and needed to leave early, and needed a bed for the night. Rooms are clean and nice. Shower fixtures and bathroom recently remodeled. Safe. Good location. No frills, but if you're looking for clean, nice and affordable room this is the place! Free continental breakfast, toiletries in rooms."
