Convenient location to the train station and walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Breakfast was decent. Food seemed fresh and the staff was very nice. The rooms could use updating.

The picture is nothing like the actual property, it was outdated, the TV didn't work when we got to the room and the a/c didn't cool the room. The morning shower wasn't warm or even hot, it kept going from warm to cold after my husband took his shower. Also, it appears they are cutting corners with their shampoo, conditioner, and lotion and soap being in large bottles and the smell of these products is not good. The microwave was discolored yellow (that is how old it is). Just not impressed, told the staff of our experience and received no reply. So, I wouldn't be placing this review if there would have been a reply or something from the property.

There is road and other construction going on around the hotel that make getting to it and out of it inconvenient. There were so many loud, obnoxious bikers in the hotel and lobby area. It really affected the quality of our stay as we could hear them partying and talking loudly late into the evening. In the positive, the hotel was very clean and the staff were nice and friendly behind the desk. Bed was also pretty comfortable. The negatives go beyond the loud bikers and road construction. The air conditioning in the room was super loud and blew straight at the bed. My sister and brother said it was the same in their rooms, too. Finally, I accidentally left a nice white travel pillow in the room. I called and was told cleaning staff didn’t turn it in. I know it was left in the room on the bed so I asked them to check to see if it was possibly mixed in with the dirty linens and ask the cleaning staff again rather than just looking to see what had been turned in thus far. They said they would and would call me back. I had to call again three times over the course of two days. And each time they said they hadn’t checked yet, but would and would call me. They never did - that made me madder than my pillow being stolen. The reason for not rating it lower is the I recognize that the construction and sheer number of bikers probably aren’t long term issues. The air conditioning issue, noise echoing through the atrium, and lack of staff follow up and honestly is problematic.

The pool and the hot tub were awesome. We liked being on the first floor, but our room was right off the side entrance, and it ended up feeling like we were in a cave. The window for the room overlooked the semi-dirty side entrance ( a power wash would make this better) but if we opened the shade it looked right into our bathroom area. The double glass doors could have made up for the lack of an open window but then if the blinds were up everyone who walked past into the lobby or out the side entrance could see into our room. Though it was nice to have a view of the pool we really could not enjoy it.

We were traveling with our small dog, and the property has a large area to allow dogs to meet, greet and take care of business. I think we are the only guests that clean up after our dog however.

We enjoyed the complimentary drinks for happy hour and the pool. Easy walkable location was great downtown. Will be nicer when construction next to it is complete. Property is a bit worn out but still had a nice stay. Comfortable.

Nice location to walk in to downtown Durango. Indoor pool and hot tub were a real plus. Lower level room we had didn't have a balcony so we were allowed to change to a second floor room that had a balcony with a mountain view.

Happy hour compliment drinks are good service. Pool, Jacuzzi water could be little bit cleaner. Cleaning service probably left door open while they were cleaning out room. When we came back, we found more than 20 black little bugs in the room.
