Great Location BUT No HOT Water
I was hesitant to book this place because the reviews were all over the place, but if you like a hot/warm shower this place is not for you. The good: We were in town for a soccer tournament, so the location was awesome. It is next door to the college and is minutes away from downtown. The condo has everything you need to cook quick meals at home. The bad: There is NO hot water. My husband called and someone came by (we were not there when they came by due to the tournament schedule), and they assured us the water was fine but it wasn’t. It also didn’t matter the time you took a shower. Evening showers were still cold. Surprisingly, the kitchen sink water was always hot, so we were able to wash our hair in the kitchen sink. Fun, right?! Yes, the condo is very dated and is in need of some upgrades but that doesn’t bother me as much as not having a hot shower for 3 days. Renters BEWARE!

Great Disappointment - Spoiled Vacation
Looking at the picture on VRBO, the apartment looks pleasant enough. However it's a real Dump - It needs a lot of upgrading. It was filthy, we called VACASA who sent somebody to clean the oven, the garbage, the kitchen and the drawers, the smell was UNBEARABLE. The light in the kitchen didn't work, an electrician came on an early Saturday morning to put a temporary light. When we arrived at 10:30 at night the toilet was not flushing, the drawers in the bed-room and bath-room were full of hair and dirty, the pillow cases were mismatched. A blind was broken, so was an arm-chair which when moved it to be repaired was full of dust. The washing machine was filthy. VACASA responded to our complaints but we lost LITERALLY 4 days of our two week-stay. We got some discount but truthfully we would have preferred NOT to have that sort of problems

Property was in a great location to downtown. It was clean and exactly as described on VRBO website. It would have been nice to have an outdoor patio to sit on and enjoy the weather but that definitely wasn’t a deal breaker. The check out process could have been a little better. We left at 7:30am and I received a text with a link at 8:13am. It would have been nice to get all of the checkout instructions the day prior. I was able to call/text the property manager and it went smoothly. Again, it would have been nice to get the instructions the day prior. It was a great trip and we will definitely stay again!

Condo by The Fort
Pros: VERY quiet, multiple rooms, pool was clean, price was one of the better deals we found for a 2 bedroom 2 bath Cons: Steps galore to come and go from unit, AC is somewhat louder window units, rather dated and rather dated kitchen stuff, parking is tight. Overall it was fine and was what we needed for the week for the money.

Great Location but Needs a Few Improvements
This property was a perfect location for getting to downtown and Fort Lewis College. We had a 3 day soccer tournament so we were only there to mainly sleep and shower. The living room and kitchen have been updated with comfortable furniture and nice appliances. Everything seemed to be in working order. The kitchen was stocked with most of the basics. The bedrooms were comfortable. Washer/dryer was helpful. Outdoor pool was heated and nice. The stairs mentioned in past reviews are not recommended if you have any sort of physical limitations with stairs. We had no issues and were creative in lugging our belongings up to the unit. The only reason I wouldn’t book here again is the odor. There is a very distinct old, musty smell. Maybe a few plug-in air fresheners? We had windows opened but it doesn’t improve. The bathrooms (mainly upstairs) could also use some TLC with simple repairs and updates. Overall, the unit is clean but I would have rated better if it weren’t for the odor and bathrooms.

Clean and convenient
Property was very clean and convenient to downtown Durango. Be prepared for 3 flights of stairs though…whew! A couple of things I would recommend though; a couple of bottled waters and a small bag of coffee for the coffee maker. Even hotels do this. There’s a small leak at the kitchen sink coming from the water sprayer which is slightly annoying. Overall rating is an 8 out of 10; only because of stairs and it could use some slight updating inside. Other than that, we loved it!!

The condo was clean and met our needs. The only issue had to do with the number stairs required to get from the parking lot to the second floor unit. Normally not a problem but with knee replacements 8 months ago it was dome what difficult.

Weekend getaway
We stayed here for 3 nights and the location and main living area are very nice, however the upstairs/carpet is awful. I am wondering if there is mold/mildew or something in the carpet. I woke up everyday with a raw sore throat and headache. As soon as we got back home the symptoms disappeared. The carpet is absolutely disgusting and should be replaced or at minimum shampooed. The service fees that are charged for this type of place is absolutely ridiculous and I would not recommend this to most. This looks to be more of a frat condo than anything else.

Great location!
Our family came to enjoy the adventures in Durango, and the condo was in the perfect location! It was dated, but that didn’t bother us. Everything was as it was listed online. We assumed that since Durango was in the mountains that the elevation would be enough to keep us cool; however, that was not the case. It was very difficult to go to sleep at night and to be comfortable during the day even with box fans. A couple of small window units would make a world of difference to guests. I would recommend this property to others, just be aware that summer months may be very warm.
