Everything was excellent- staff friendly- room clean - bed was soft - great location to the downtown area
Stuart, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Modern, clean room that complemented the historic building. Friendly staff, great light breakfast.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was one of the best historic hotels I’ve stayed in. The bartender was the BEST! Great cocktails and conversation. The rooms have been modernized, so they are very comfortable and don’t have that old, musty smell you find in other older hotels. I will definitely stay there again next time I head to Durango!!

This is a great find, very cute boutique hotel in a great location in downtown Durango.

Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice, centrally-located historic hotel. Very friendly staff and nice ambiance. The only downside for us was that they were hosting a business event the day we arrived that essentially took over the bar and common areas leaving no space for staying guests and a long line at the bar so we went in search of someplace else to relax and grab a drink after a long drive.
Chris, 2-night trip

Beautifully renovated. Very comfortable room and friendly staff.
