Wonderful

Clean, great center city location walkable or a 1 city block drive from historic dowtown (literally can see historic downtown road from hotel). Great breakfast both hot/cold & healthy options. Also next to natural grocers if that your vibe as well. Every morning after breakfast we'd head down to the indoor parking garage that exits right onto the Animas for disabilities access or also accessible via breakfast deck. Take a nice scroll next to the river and across the public bridge, makes some gorgeous pics. Highly recommend and will be returning.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was nice and clean. Had an odor in the bathroom that wouldn't go away but not a big deal. Door lock battery was low and kept clicking throughout the entire stay. Didn't realize it until it died the last morning. The breakfast was great and the food was hot. Parking was limited due to construction in garage
The room was clean. The view was nice . We went for a walk near the river. The breakfast was delicious. Didnt taste rubbery haha.
Its a pet friendly place too

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was incredibly helpful in the facility was very very clean
Thus was my families first trip. This place was very well maintained. Clean, great staff service, comfortable room, great location, good and great breakfast setup and convenience. Really, made our trip better.
Check in was a mess because of the parking lot. The bed was uncomfortable. An unsupported complaint by the guests in the room next to ours ruined the getaway! Probably won't select this hotel again for a stay in Durango.
