The hotel staff were available, helpful, and friendly throughout the stay. The location is perfect. Even though it’s an older hotel, they keep it maintained nicely. Lighting in rooms could be better. I would definitely stay there again.

The stay was great...until it wasn't.
The hotel itself was very nice. The room was comfortable, the pool was fun, and the continental breakfast was the best I've had in any hotel. (Chocolate waffles!?) Sadly, the visit ended on a sour note. While we were trying to get ready to check out, the sink in our room started backing up with smelly brown sludge. We called the front desk who said they would send someone up immediately. No one came. Since that was the only sink in the room, it made getting ready there impossible. I had to finish getting ready in the car. When we had finished loading our bags and went to turn in our keys, we showed the lady at the desk the pictures of the sludge and reminded we had called down about this issue nearly an hour ago and no one ever came. When we left the room the sink was nearly full. The only response we got was, "oh, that isn't good. Sorry about that." Really? I've attached a photo of the sludge the first minute it started backing up. I didn't take pictures of the full sink, but it got even more dense and gross.

Perfect Stay in Durango!
Great hotel! We go to Durango at least once a year for the last 15 years and never found this gem. The rooms are super cozy and the breakfast was 👌. The dining space is a little small and can get very busy so be prepared to eat brrakfast early or in your room. Not a huge deal. The pool was super fun for the kids and the hot tub was wonderful after a day at Purgatory. Coffee station was kept clean and well stocked. Happy hour was every adults favorite part especially the comped drinks. This hotel is walking distance to everything downtown (Polar Express is 5min walk) and the Mexican restaurant 2 minutes away is great! Definitely recommend!

Great location, way to loud
Friendly Staff, Clean Rooms, that's where it ends. The hotel walls are paper thin, you can hear EVERYTHING your neighbor is doing (for example, say they come back drunk at 1:00 AM and fight until 4:00 AM, you hear every word), They are lacking charge plugs, our room had a blanked out faceplate between the beds, we had to charge all our stuff on the sink (the one on the lamp doesn't work for rectangle plugs). Location is great, but if you want sleep and not hear everything going on, skip it.

Nice downtown location
Room was decent and clean. Did have two problems with the room. The air conditioner wouldn't turn off and ran all night and the air vents push the air to top of each bed so we froze. Got maintenance involved and they had us do the thermostat in different mode but then we were too warm because air conditioner didn't turn on and off very well. Had some tv issues. Parking is packed in. Great location to stay if you're wanting to be near downtown eating and shopping. Only 2 to 3 blocks walk to Durango to Silverton train which was great for us. Hot Breakfast is very good. Front desk said they plan to remodel and refurbish rooms soon... that will be better.

Chose this location as it was so close to the train station. It’s a very short walk to the station and to many shops and restaurants.
