Not so clean and no amenities.

Room was being cleaned when we arrived, it was after 3 p.m. check in time. There were only towels for three people, or room was booked for five people. The spare bed for the fifth person was not provided with linens, there were no extra pillows or blankets for the regular beds either. Kitchen was in need of a good cleaning, behind the trash can, under the microwave, ceiling above the fridge was filthy. I spilled some water on the kitchen floor, I used the provided kitchen towel, the floor was so dirty it covered the towel. I took pictures of the filth and attached them below. There was an empty water bottle and some trash left from before our visit under the couch. We arrived Friday, we had hot water on Saturday morning, when we returned to our room on Saturday night there was no hot water, there was still no hot water on Sunday morning when we departed.

Terrible

Unfortunately, we were unable to have the pleasant night we had been hoping for! 1- When we arrived, the unit was freezing! I am in favor of energy conservation and sustainability, but everything has a limit! Leaving the unit like that was disrespectful. 2-) Speaking of disrespect, there are no blankets at this time of year and at this temperature. Honestly... it makes your energy consumption soar, since the air conditioning never stopped working. 3- There was no shampoo, soap or conditioner available as advertised and expected! 4- While we were taking a shower, drops of yellow water were dripping from the ceiling, where the exhaust fan is, very embarrassing. 5- The floor of the unit was very dirty, it was unpleasant but bearable, but the cold continues to be the main problem. 6- The TV does not work, much less turn on, they also lied in the advertisements. 7- For those who have a checkout at 11 am, sending a message at 5:30 is very invasive and unnecessary!

Totally Hands Off

We called hotel directly because we have stayed there multiple times. This time we were told that we had to book online. So we did thru hotels.com on my existing business account. We arrived at the hotel to a window covered with a huge printed sign saying scan here to make a reservation or check the text message you received in order to get your room number and door code. I didn't receive a text, only confirmation from Hotels.com. I pushed the doorbell and no one answered. I called the number and got recording. He called back saying the text was sent to another number listed on my account. So he sent it to the phone i had. Then I had to fill out everything on my phone, standing in the cold and wind, then had to upload a pic of my driver license. Because I booked 2 rooms, I had to do that process twice. I am old school. I hate apps...do not like having anything such as my driver license or address on my phone. There is something to be said for personal service. Apparently the owner needs passive income because this certainly didn't have any personal service. There was even a cabinet outside next to the office window with extra self serve supplies. Will not stay here again.

We enjoyed having the kitchenette in the room and the ease of walking to Downtown Durango from the property. The bed was very comfortable, and the cleaning staff were friendly. It's a little loud being located right on a busy road, but the road was not busy at night.

First of all, we got there late after being on the road all day and it took us about 30 minutes to be able to get into the room as instructions were not clear and the emergency line did not answer. We had to get our own supplies out of the closet outside. Inside, the renovated part was nice but the pullout couch mattress was nothing but springs. When we pulled out said mattress, there was garbage on it. The floor was dirty, our feet were black after walking on it. Dust probably blew in from under the front door, which had a huge gap wide open to the outside. We had to shove a towel under to keep the draft from coming in. There was no table to eat dinner on and no lamps on any of the night stands. No towel racks or toilet paper holder in the bathroom where needed. Body wash was out in the shower container. The cupboards were pretty bare in the kitchen, and we had to go get our own supplies, including utensils and paper towels. Also, the oven dial would not turn off and stayed on most the day. Super frustrating and if I can get hold of the owner I will definitely be asking for a refund

We did not stay. Our room was around the back; we walked through an alley with discarded tires through weeds, trash, and rocks, not even a sidewalk to reach our room. It smelled heavily of chemicals. Being migraine prone, we couldn't be in the room longer than 10 minutes. Expedia gave no indication we'd be on the second floor. All the pictures make it look as if it's on a large property. It's an old motel, right off the highway. The grass area had dog poop all over. The check-in was really easy. Our questions were answered quickly through text. But I would spring for a little extra and stay at a more comfortable place next time.

Clean, good instructions for DIY check in

I’d probably stay at the Wapiti again because it is clean, well maintained and more affordable than other places in Durango. The online instructions for checking in were pretty easy to follow. Beds, linens and pillows were very comfortable, and fridge, coffee machine and microwave were good to have. Honestly, the only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the smell of cleaning products, which we tackled with open windows and which put this in the four star and not five star category.
