This is a great find, very cute boutique hotel in a great location in downtown Durango. The entire staff was wonderful, the bar is not to be missed because of the great bartenders and cocktail options, rooms are very clean and spacious and have everything you need. Would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Durango!

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.

The room was comfortable, quite noisy from room above and no closet or amenities. Expected more for $400 a night in Durango.

So nice to stay in an intimate, cosy hotel instead of the bland chains. High quality linens, warm friendly service, everything we needed and nothing we didn't. I would stay here again.

Very loud property. It’s an old building that has been nicely renovated but the walls are so thin. And the floor above you can hear everything! Any footsteps and movement.
