The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Great location for watching the trains and walking around downtown. If having a room with no windows will bother you be careful which room you book. The breakfast buffet is good but gets busy with train riders and may not be restocked if you go down later. Overall a good stay!

It was a beautiful, old hotel full of history. Our room was very large, with a comfy bed and nicely decorated with an outside the bathroom vanity which is essential when husband and wife are trying to get dressed and out the door to go explore the cute town of Durango. The balcony with chairs outside the second story was a nice place to drink coffee or bring togo dinner and watch the sunset or the railroad train come by. Loved the afternoon warm cookies and the coffee and tea table available all day. I will defiantly be staying here again. It did include a nice hotel style breakfast which was a nice touch

Great hotel staff! All our needs were met and the service was outstanding. We ask for several places that would be close to good food and every restaurant suggested was excellent.
