Nice place, historical. One piece of advice: ask for a room away from elevator. It’s a tiny thing, but noisy when your room is right next to it.

We loved this older hotel! It was so quaint! We loved that it was within walking distance of everything downtown. The coffee, water, and hot tea at all times and fresh cookies truly was a lovely touch as well. Every staff member that we encountered was very nice and cordial. I definitely recommend this hotel!!

Beautifully renovated period hotel in a superb location in downtown Durango close to Railroad Museum, Durango-Silverton Railway, for walking to restaurants and shops. Staff are friendly and responsive. Good breakfast and afternoon cookie treats. However, for the coffee addict the hotel’s complimentary coffee service in the lobby and on each of upstairs floors will draw us back again as repeat guests.
