Everything about our stay was excellent. They had covered parking for our Harley, the breakfasts were delicious and well-supplied and kept up. Housekeeping was efficient and personable, and front desk staff were all delightful.
This property backs up to the Animas River and you have immediate access to the walking/ bike trails the run along both sides of the river. If you reserve a room on the back, you can enjoy the river view and sounds it makes.
The garage for parking is a dream for anyone who worries about hotel parking lots. It was clean, safe, and secure.
Although a bit pricey, it was on par with the rest of the large chain hotels. The locations was near all the Main Street venues. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great location (walking distance to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad depot), very nice staff, clean room (ours had a nice view of the river), really good breakfast selections and nice dining area with view of the river. Very comfortable stay.
This is a clean hotel, looks new or newly renovated. It is located on the river and within walking distance of the train and downtown. Our room was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable but a little tall for me. They serve a nice breakfast daily. There is a pool, gym and ample parking. I would probably stay here again if in Durango. Only real complaint is it was expensive.

Clean room, very courteous staff and great location.
Brand new hotel. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful especially navigating where to go in town. Walking distance to downtown.
The best thing was the central location. Booked 2 rooms to accommodate 15 year old grand daughter who accompanied us. Expected rooms to be adjoining or at least on the same floor but were on different floors. Reception staff not particularly helpful re this issue. 1 room ready at check in time but thete was a 45 minute wait for 2nd room. Indoor heated pool wasn't heated- far too cold to swim in. Included breakfast was good.
Great location, friendly and very knowledgeable staff, and very clean facilities
