I wish more hotels made it as easy to check in. Bartender is just downstairs and breakfast was simple but amazing. Everything was fresh and local. If you are in Durango, you won’t regret staying at the Rochester.

I'm a big fan of The Rochester. The rooms were decorated really well. The bed and pillows were amazing. I would recommend the hotel for the bed alone.

This was not at all what we thought it would be--an historic hotel.,The bar in the lobby area is very cool but that is about the only cool thing about it. At $350 a night it was ridiculously over-priced. The cable tv worked almost none at all.

Fabulous boutique hotel with modern, clean room. Service was wonderful, personal and friendly. Plush towels, comfortable bedding and upscale toiletries added to the experience. Hospitality included complimentary happy hour and coffee and pastry for breakfast. The location is great too, one block off Main Street.

Great Night's Rest
We booked last-minute, and the host was very kind and accommodating. Room was clean, comfy, and cool - the courtyard area is a nice, relaxing little oasis. Getting in late, the little touches like keyless entry and cushioned rugs in the hallway to dampen noise were nice touches. A great place to truly relax and get a good night's sleep in Durango.
