The stay was relaxing after a long distance of traveling. Room was beautiful but cramped. i loved the decor and furnishing of the room/. Grandchildren loved and laugh at the book. Disappointed not to finding portal or candy in hidden drawer. Bathroom was very clean and room was cozy.

The staff is excellent. The mahogny restaurant is awesome. Our server was the best. I cant remember his name but he was very professional but still fun and had us laughing. Thank you

A must stay in Durango

The hotel was amazing with much history. The furniture matched the era of the hotel. I loved that each room had a journal you filled out & left. Only had the opportunity to eat in the Saloon while we were there & food & service were excellent. Hotel staff also very knowledgeable, courteous & kind.

Historic & nice

Great location and many great historical displays throughout the hotel. The saloon had great food and great entertainment. The only downfall was the extremely tiny bathroom and shower in our otherwise great room. It was as small as than a port a John! We had a queen & twin bed room as did our friends and their bathroom was completely fine. Parking is limited but free. Would stay again.

Best location in town! Close to many attractions and the railroad. The hotel is so charming, everything is beautifully preserved. It's a real museum! The saloon next door serves great food and night entertainment was a lovely bluegrass band.
