Very loud property. It’s an old building that has been nicely renovated but the walls are so thin. And the floor above you can hear everything! Any footsteps and movement.

Fantastic Hotel

We stayed here the final two nights of a nine-night trip. All the other places we stayed were great, but the Rochester was the best! It is conveniently located in downtown Durango and has a fantastic outdoor garden area to enjoy fresh air while enjoying a drink from their bar. The rooms and beds are very comfortable. The service from the staff was top-notch. We took the train from Durango to Silverton and visited their sister hotel--The Wyman. If you go to Silverton, pay them a visit and grab a coffee or a libation in their lobby bar. Both hotels are very nicely decorated and they make you feel very welcome!

Cannot wait to stay again!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Rochester Hotel in Durango. The charm of the property, the warm and welcoming staff, and the overall comfort made it an unforgettable experience. The hotel has such a unique character—it’s stylish, cozy, and perfectly maintained. What really stood out to me was how pet-friendly they are. Traveling with my dogs can be hit or miss, but the Rochester made it seamless. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the outdoor areas were perfect for a quick walk. The location is also unbeatable—just a short stroll to restaurants, shops, and trails, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and quiet. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, and every team member I encountered was helpful and kind. Highly recommend this gem in Durango. I’ll definitely be back!
