10/10 Excellent

Great property fabulous staff! The garden adjacent to the hotel is awesome!
Felice, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Cindy, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

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.
