Historic Hotel in Downtown Durango
Historic hotel on Main Street Durango. Easy parking. Front Desk staff was great. Rooms furnished in period pieces. Nice 4-poster king bed. Be aware that the hotel is right next to the station of the Durango-Silverton Railroad Station. When the trains are arriving and leaving, the train whistles and noise is loud if your room faces the Station. Train activity starts around 7:00AM and ends around 10:00PM. Best Italian restaurant and French bakery in Durango are within steps from the hotel. Perfect location to ride the train or enjoy the downtown night life.

1. We like the parking. 2. The lack of telephone in the room and the property management was not aware there was not phone. 3. The lighting fixture was missing the chain for off/on in room 259. 4. The televisions in room 259 experienced inoperability that was annoying. 5. The lighting fixture in room 255 overhead was not fixable during our stay. The members of the staff were very willing and gracious.

Lovely Victorian Hotel with the charm and elegance of that period. Well maintained with up to date conveniences. Beautiful room! Great location! Love Durango and the Silverton-Durango train and the sound of the whistle… all contributing to make the visit very memorable and special! Could watch the train depart from our hotel room window!

Omg do not go to this property if you have luggage. There is no one to help and the elevator is nearly impossible. the other downside is there is no bar or restaurant. There is coffee and breakfast, but that is it. The positive it is cute and quaint, location is great.
