You can’t beat this property in Durango if you’re traveling with kids. Everyone is so friendly, indoor pool is great, breakfast and happy hour daily, and the location is 10/10. A 5 minute walk to Main Street and 2 min walk to the train station. We go every year for the Polar Express and have had nothing but a great experience.
The only downside is that the property is outdated.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Love the couch as sitting so often missing in motel rooms. For us, being near the breakfast room was great although it could be noisy at times. We loved the close proximity to the Durango and Silverton railroad and nearby restaurants.

The rooms were clean, small bathroom though! Comfy beds, the pool and hot tub are in the middle of the hotel which is really cool- not too bad of a breakfast for the included kind! Waffles for sure!

The rooms are clean. I’ve been coming here for years. The location is great, but it is somewhat dated. The continental breakfast was surprisingly good. The pool is cloudy and reeks of chlorine, but it has been that way the last three times I have stayed here. I wouldn’t recommend using it or the hot tub. I still like this place and it is my go-to when in Durango.
