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.

Blast from the past

This is a little gem out of history. I feel like I passed into a different time period staying here, it was incredible. They have this adorable saloon with great live music.

Staff was very helpful. The rooms are full if antiques. I was glad that the bathrooms had reals bars of soap, since I was tired if the liquid dispensers. It was a wonderful stay.
