This mold infested hotel gets swatted all the time according to the owners so be prepared to have your hotel room searched by the police because of it. Owners are very rude, unprofessional and threaten locals with false accusations to intimidate them into being silent about the swatting issues there. The last one was really graphic. Scanner traffic reported A DV shooting and instead of letting the community know it was swatting they got mad when we started asking questions and then accused us of Swatting because we wouldn't take down our post on social media. Something very fishy here. read more

Quaint. family owned, hearkens back to the days of seeing the usa in your chevrolet in the 50's and 60's. Real MOtor hotEL (MOTEL) Definitely not motel 6. few quirks but great sleeping and friendly helpful staff Definitely stay again if back in area read more

Safe, quiet, comfortable and nice touches of Hispanic culture made our one night there great. Eateries close as well as shopping. There is a walking/bike trail near by to get some much needed exercise after a long day on the road plus it is next to a river. Beautiful area and staff is accommodating. read more

Stayed for one night while traveling cross country. Cute, clean little room. Comfy bed, squishy pillows, and black out blinds allowed for a good nights sleep. I did hear the TV in the room next to me, but it was not a bother. Walls are thin, had it been louder parties on either side it would have been a bother, but luckily it was fairly quiet. The shower gave me difficulty as the shower head was very high up and could not be tilted down. Thus the water was aimed right at the top of my head and the back wall. (I'm 5'7") I was pressed on the back wall trying to get some water and it was annoying. A shower head that tilts down is an easy fix. Outside area is clean and nice and they have bicycles you can use. read more

Great little gem on the north side of town. Room was clean, bed was comfy, and in-room coffee was great. Staff was very helpful and having extra towels and coffee filters on demand was really convenient. Parking lot is a bit cramped for bigger vehicles - we were lucky it wasn't very busy when we stayed with our van (stayed here while taking a couple nights off from camping in the middle of a road trip). Trolley stop is also very convenient if you want to catch a ride downtown. Walkable to Zia Taqueria, which is definitely worth a visit. read more

Dan, Hannah and April are wonderful hosts, they're still working on updating this older motel and are super gracious and conscientious. The beds and fixtures are new and up-to-date, I really enjoyed my stay with the super convienient parking right outside the room. There are some great restaurants within walking distance, and downtown Durango with all its shops and places to eat is only a few minutes away. This is a fun place to stay in Durango! read more

Siesta Motel - The new owners have kept the motel's classic neon sign, yay! - Hotels Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Clean and comfortable rooms, super cute decor, wonderful amenities! The owners clearly put a lot of thought and love into their motel. It's a wonderful value and affordable. We really appreciated all the touches like the board games, bicycles available to explore on, and easy communication via txt. Definitely staying here again anytime in back in Durango. read more

Hannah and her husband are young, and have the energy to take this diamond in the rough and really make it shine. The value is great. The convenience of being able to park outside your room and use a code to open the door is great. Especially on road trips where you don't necessarily want to stop in an office and wait for a key when arriving late at night. Would stay again read more

Shelley was so helpful. We had rv trouble and got to reserved park too late so we called around to find a room . Hotels are very expensive in Durango and packed. Shelley answered and got us the last room in town basically and gave us the door code. Clean and adequate but the customer service by Shelley off the carts! We left dog bowl there and they saved for us the next day. Very nice motel. Convenient location as well. read more

Loved this place, unlike your average corporate motels. Had charm galore, owners and staff were charming and very helpful. Close to everything, the rooms are kitschy while having the amenities you want and need. Bed were comfortable & room was very clean. We enjoyed the outside tables and had some great conversations with other guests. Highly recommend. read more

Sweet little motel. Very clean, great bed, nice owners. The parking is tight. No smoking anywhere on property.

Great place for a family road trip stop. We love staying at locally owned motels on our family road trips. This was a repeat stay at Siesta Motel and we loved the new updates. It has recently been taken over by new owners who have put a real personal touch on the stay. They replaced all of the bedding and it is wonderful! We stayed in the two bedroom room and it has plenty of space for a family of four. Hannah, one of the new owners, recommended a great spot for us to eat locally where our kids could run around. We enjoyed having a cocktail on the front lawn space after the kids went to bed. It was a great stay and we will continue to recommend it to our friends and family who travel through Durango. read more

Warm and cozy rooms. Each room has its own style and is very clean. All have coffee pots, coffee, and refrigerators. Mattresses vary--both very firm and soft available. Spacious bathrooms. Quiet, lovely courtyard! (No pool or hot tub.) The staff has been there for many years, are very helpful and know what it means to have pride in their establishment, as they take care their patrons! Forget the chain motels, keep the local businesses open! This place is a wonderful and memorable stay! read more

Best little surprise for a motel in Durango. Think Route 66 RETRO. Young couple are new owners with old school attitude towards hospitality. Unbelievably clean and bed was most comfortable on our entire trip of Four Corners! read more

I have read some previous reviews on this motel and I am not sure why there are a few less than 3 stars on here. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience with this motel! It is a nice, family owned motel and the owners are so nice! We ended up arriving quite late; I received an email earlier in the day asking to call if we were checking in later, I called and we were provided a code to access our room. This was very nice and convenient for us. Our room was small and quaint. Very clean and VERY quiet. Given we had some rowdy motorcyclists out in the cabana later in the evening, we didn't hear a thing. The room has an in wall AC unit that gets the room REALLY cold which is great when it was mid 80s out. The grounds were immaculate and house keeping was wonderful. I would 100% recommend staying here and would come back. read more

These owners are terrific. They love their guests and know how to show it. So glad we stayed here. read more

Siesta Motel - Sweety spot to rest and relax. - Hotels Near Me - Durango, Colorado

I stayed at this property for a single night in July 2023. It's a great little motor inn that's got an old-school vibe and a lot of character. It's very well maintained, and the owners are easy to reach and nice. I'll stay here again anytime I'm in Durango. This gem reminds of the Raton Pass Inn in Raton and the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari. read more

lovely and cozy, old-style motel. Even had lounger chairs in the room! Very kind and attentive staff.

New owners are very personable and energetic. Room was clean clean and cozy. Great location right off the 550. Unexpected surprises include a cold brewski and cable tv. Will be staying at again. read more

Very cute, clean and affordable. Best bed yet and we have been on the road for 15 days.

We stayed two nights July 22-23 2022 and we loved the place. Each room is decorated differently, ours had a Southwest theme. The rooms are clean and look newly remodeled. The shower was awesome! Instant hot water and great pressure! We will definitely stay there again the next time we come to Durango. read more

See all

I stayed here 7/24-7/27 with my family. What a great motel! The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The room was clean, the towels were fluffy and the beds were comfy. There are a few good eateries a short walk away and it's right near a trolley stop. They will soon have rental bikes on offer. I plan to stay here again on a future visit to Durango. read more

Highly recommend this hotel. The owner lives on premises and is always available to help. The room was very clean and comfortable and had all of the right appliances to make it comfortable. This will be our choice of hotels when we visit Durango. read more

Road tripping west, made it to Durango at about noon and hadn't booked a hotel. Big brands were booked and/or overly priced. Found the Siesta on yelp and called to check pricing and availability. Reasonable prices and had a room that fit our group. Drove by - so cute, well kept grounds. Booked a two double bed room with kitchen. So glad we spent the extra $10 for the little kitchen. Room was spacious, clean, and beds were comfortable. Owners were very friendly. We will be recommending the siesta to our friends and coming back again! read more

Siesta Motel - Hotels Near Me - Durango, Colorado

After reading the glowing reviews I was excited to stay here, especially knowing that it is family-owned. I really wanted to love this place, but was disappointed. Pros: Our room was a good size and the kitchenette was well-equipped. Durango is pretty pricey and we felt the price was good considering the area. The owner gave us good restaurant recommendations too. Cons: When checking in, we were having a great, friendly conversation with the owner. But after a few minutes of good convo, she casually worked some pretty polarizing political views into a couple of comments she made. My husband and I were uncomfortable (and even a little personally offended). We quickly wrapped up the conversation and headed to our room. Regardless of where she (or we) stand in the political spectrum, I believe it was in bad taste for her to make these comments to strangers who were paying for her service. Very disappointed. Also, perhaps because the property is old and the bathroom wasn't equipped for good air circulation, the shower smelled old, acrid, and a bit sulfurous. We could smell it faintly throughout our room but it was really strong and concentrated in the bathroom. Yuck. Conclusion: I would recommend this place to others based on price, location, room size. A good value for the area. Based on my personal experience, I will not stay here again. read more

Do not stay here!! I read the reviews and was looking forward to my visit. I arrived to check in on the day of my reservation and no one was there. Called the owner who said she's having lunch (at 3pm) and "come back later." I waited half an hour, and when she showed up she was *incredibly rude* and had no COVID protections in place. Why would anyone stay here when there are so many better options in Durango? Try Caboose Motel: very friendly staff, way better rates, and closer to the beautiful Animas River. A much better experience! read more

We stayed at this place last year. Did have a good time. Came Back with different friends this year. The first night was fine, we were tired out from driving here. The 2nd night we had gone hiking all day, then went downtown for supper. We took the bus back and it was such a beautiful night out, we decided to sit outside to visit. We met another person that was staying at the same motel from Alaska, so we were visiting with this person. At 9:45 p.m. the owner, Larry came out in his robe and said we were too loud. Most places we have stayed the quiet hour starts at 10 p.m. plus, we felt we were not that loud anyway. It was not even 10 yet. Probably will not be back here....well, not many stars on this trip... read more

It seems fitting that this quaint, 50ish year old motel is on the north side of town so you can roll right off the Million Dollar Highway and its epic views and into a place that will take you back in time and make you feel loved like only the Durango locals can do. There are new (local) owners as of spring of this year and it's clear that they're pouring their hearts into this place! Because it's locally owned, you have access to the very best insider knowledge on trails, events, restaurants, secret waterfalls--you name it. You can rent one of the motel bikes for $15 and spend the whole day exploring the town or take the shuttle that picks up right outside the motel. The beds are deliciously comfortable (and we need a good night's sleep after all of that adventuring!) The linens seem brand new and are a crisp white so there's no hiding dirt or sneaky cleaning practices. The rooms are super clean, water pressure is amazing, and the other guests seem as interested in sharing tips and making you feel at home as the owners. The family atmosphere definitely lives on here and I can't wait to see what Hannah and Dan do with the motel this winter as they make it into a truly unique and dreamy Durango destination. Highly recommend a stay here! read more

Have stayed there several times and been pleased until this last stay. The owners were not in the office when she said they would be even though they are gone for lunch from 11-2pm. Wanted us to pay for a hand towel that wasn't even dirty. Rude! read more

Very expensive for what you get! Furniture and appliances are from the 60's and falling apart. No hot tub, pool, hairdryers or continental breakfast. We had several spiders in the room. They say they are pet friendly but they do not want to see your pet and they don't want your pet seen by other guest. Do yourself a favor and drive right past this motel. read more

Renter beware, make sure you are 100% sure of your reservation dates as if you need to change or cancel, even 48+ hours in advance, you will be charged $40 to cancel or even change. When I called to question the charge they stated they are a "mom & pop" hotel and need to be able to cover the cost to change reservations. I have stayed a multiple "mom & pop" hotels in Colorado and none have charge $40 if you change or cancel 48 hours in advance. There are plenty of other opportunities in Durango. read more

I stayed almost a week here, and loved it. It's clean, cute, quaint and charming, feels a bit like staying in a relatives guest room: homey and comfortable, but with the the nice hotel amenities. The location is convenient and the courtyard is lovely. Would stay again. read more

Locally owned! Always accommodating owners, extremely nice, really clean rooms! Love the area to sit outside, comfortable beds! Will stay here again! read more

In my experience at this motel, wasn't a great one. I'd give no stars if possible. I called over the phone and asked how much a room for the night would be. I was told $98. Upon arrival at the hotel, I brought up the $98 I was told over the phone, and then was told the room was gonna be $110 so I said that's alright, thinking it was the $98 + tax. After checking my bank account I was charged $125. I had went and brought it back up to the office then were extremely rude. Customer service is inexistent here. I will not be coming back to siesta motel and will not recommend to anyone even if you're just looking for a place to sleep for the night, pay an extra $10 and go to a Hotel. read more

Over rated by others. Just an average motel except No Ice because office is closed and poor excuse for toilet paper.

I'll start off with a note that I am a Marriott Platinum member and stay in various Marriott brands across the country. In 2015, I stayed at the Marriott Residence inn in Durango while on vacation and I was disappointed. Hotel was very worn and overpriced. This year, I deliberately abandoned Marriott in Durango seeking a nice, clean, and economically priced hotel. Found the Siesta Motel, which is an excellent place. We were not going to be in the hotel much and mainly needed a clean place to sleep. The rate was very reasonable, the owner is friendly, and the entire hotel is clean and well kept. This is a Route 66-era roadside motel with quite a bit of charm. Don't expect fancy, expect a clean, nice place at a very good price. Which is why I give a 5 star review. The Siesta Motel delivered. Will stay here again. read more

What a great find! Looking online for a dog friendly hotel got the usual chain options but they were more expensive than I was hoping to spend. We were on vacation and didn't plan on spending a lot of time in the room. Basically just somewhere to sleep. The siesta motel had good reviews and the price was right. We checked in about 4pm. I waited in the car with our pooch while my boyfriend got checked in. He said the woman in the office was very friendly and helpful. The place is small, and privately owned. Our room was very clean! Yay!! The decor was kind of a southwest, maybe 70's thing? But we loved it! It was charming, the bed was comfy, and did I mention clean?! We had a queen size bed, mini fridge/freezer, and a clean bathroom. Clean is very important to me haha. In our room we had multiple magazines and fliers about local attractions and restaurants. Very helpful! The building is horseshoe shaped with a little grassy area in the middle with chairs. And chairs and benches outside the rooms. We were lucky enough to sit outside on our bench and enjoy a beautiful thunderstorm! Overall a great place! As long as they accept our fur baby, we won't stay anywhere else when we visit Durango! read more

Nice family owned hotel. The owners are more than accommodating. The rooms have an older feel but they are clean and well kept. This place is so much nicer than the sterile corporate hotels. I recommend this place read more

Dusty, smelly tiny rooms ... Staff doesn't answer phone (nor call back), messaging service on web site doesn't work ...

My boyfriend and I planned a last minute vacation to Durango, found this place on the internet & noticed it was cheap, but the pictures looked nice. When we got there the owners were very helpful & very nice. Got to our room (king kitchenette) and it was super clean & real cute! Comfortable big bed with own air conditioning. The middle of the motel is a pretty lawn with flowers and a gazebo! I will definitely stay here again & recommend it to others! read more
