John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. But the highlight of the hotel is the location. It's right along the Animas River and you can walk out the door to access the river walk. It's also really close to downtown. If you're looking for an affordable convenient option in Durango this is a great spot.

Great Stay In Durango

The breakfast was great. Love the biscuits. View of the river was awesome. Love the walking path along the river behind the hotel. Great staff. Very friendly. The airport shuttle was a life saver. An awesome stay.

Victoria, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We appreciated the friendly check in, the comfortable room, and the breakfast. One weird thing in the room is the lack of outlets on one side if the bed and also at the desk area. Otherwise, no complaints and we will happily stay here again.

Great Stay

The room was nice and clean. Check in was easy and the staff were friendly. I wish they had more towels and coffee options, all we had were light and decaf. The room was actually quiet even though the hotel is right next to the road.

We always try to stay here when we’re in Durango. The check-in is straightforward, the rooms are always clean, and the location is priceless for downtown walkability. We’re not usually not breakfast people but the breakfast here is pretty great!
Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very friendly and professional. The views were lovely with the river right outside. It is a very walkable area with grocery and pharmacy literally across the street. It has secure underground parking and a good selection for breakfast. I thought this was a great place to stay and would definitely return.

The property was all that I expected from HIE. The staff was excellent and most helpful. As a solo traveler, safety is key, and this location offers secure parking, safe access to the walking trail along the river in addition to a really good breakfast buffet.
