This was our first time visiting Durango so stayed 2 nights at this hotel. The experience was amazing, loved the historical vibe. The hotel provided warm chocolate chip cookies, a hot chocolate, coffee, and tea bar. The breakfast and dining area was wonderful and service top notch. What a way to start our annual Mother/Daughter. The only issue was not being able to stay longer.

We stopped here on our road trip and it was the best decision! Staff was so friendly and welcoming- can’t beat a fresh chocolate chip cookie upon checkin. Room was clean and spacious. Unbelievable comfortable and the room had its own AC unit so we could change the temperature. Breakfast wasn’t anything special but they covered all the basics and everything was delicious. I would love to visit again and stay another day so we could explore the town!

The room was very clean, they had eveything, very friendly staff and the bed was comphy. The only thing is it can get cold in the evenings in your room there. Properly because the building is so old. They do have a heater in your room, but i havent found out how to turn it on. I would definitely come here again!
