The Junction Hotel and Hostel is fine if one is just looking for a simple bed. It's a bit of an old motel that is now also a hostel for hikers. The walls are thin, the staff is more or less non-existent and the location is fine for Durango. My main issue is their "dynamic" pricing. With very few rooms available in Durango when I was there, they raised their pricing to $100 per bed for the hostel when I called fairly late in the day looking for somewhere to stay. Would I stay there again? Only if nothing else were available.

The photos showed a clean, simple hostel, but the reality was shocking. When I arrived, the place was surrounded by drunken motorcyclists. Inside, the room was filthy — bugs crawling around, stains covering the bedding, poor lighting, and clearly not cleaned in a long time. The “linens” wouldn’t be acceptable even in a jail. The only clean part was the shower and toilet. I asked the front desk (CJ) for a refund, and while he admitted I deserved one, he couldn’t provide it. This property is a complete misrepresentation and a rip-off at $155. Avoid at all costs.

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.

Junction Creek

I loved my corner room on the second floor. Standing on the second floor deck in the evening I watched a bear walk through the parking lot and then along Junction Creek. I love the close access to the Animas river trail which I enjoy walking on into town and to restaurants. And after a powerful afternoon thunderstorm I watched as Junction Creek briefly became a fast flowing creek on its way to the nearby Animas river.

Very nice, but the river that runs beside it is not a river. The room smelled like cat pee in the back part. Had a king size bed with only three flat pillows. Besides that it was great
