Had to walk from parking area which was not close to hotel with luggage. Not ADA compliant. Was not told ahead of time about the water outage that was from 2am-6am. By the time we left at 7am there was still no water! The staff at check in and check out was non caring about the lack of water. They offered no solution to having no water to even flush a toliet. A partial refund would have been nice since it was not a cheap hotel stay!

Hotel parking not at all customer friendly especially for customers with special needs. Hotel staff made NO accommodation nor any care to do so. In addition, water was not available throughout stay. Hotel made no effort toward compensation.

Their self parking is presented very poorly. We were given a hand drawn map from the front desk. We ended up getting a $50 parking ticket from the Durango Police for parking exactly where the front desk staff instructed us. The hotel manage took no responsibility and acted like it never happened to other guests.

The whole hotel is in fabulous condition despite its age. The Victorian Era decor feels authentic and the memorabilia throughout the hotel is very interesting. If you want the experience of the Wild West as it was back in its time, this hotel is the perfect place.
