Clean, great center city location walkable or a 1 city block drive from historic dowtown (literally can see historic downtown road from hotel). Great breakfast both hot/cold & healthy options. Also next to natural grocers if that your vibe as well. Every morning after breakfast we'd head down to the indoor parking garage that exits right onto the Animas for disabilities access or also accessible via breakfast deck. Take a nice scroll next to the river and across the public bridge, makes some gorgeous pics. Highly recommend and will be returning.

Room was nice and clean. Had an odor in the bathroom that wouldn't go away but not a big deal. Door lock battery was low and kept clicking throughout the entire stay. Didn't realize it until it died the last morning. The breakfast was great and the food was hot. Parking was limited due to construction in garage

Check in was a mess because of the parking lot. The bed was uncomfortable. An unsupported complaint by the guests in the room next to ours ruined the getaway! Probably won't select this hotel again for a stay in Durango.
