Beautiful place to stay. Downtown. Close to shopping areas! Great food in the area. The view from the hotel was amazing! My kids and I enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was phenomenal. I usually don’t like continental breakfast and the food was so good. Very clean.

Great view!
Upon first arrival, we found that our key card did not work. The replaced it immediately. The view from our balcony overlooking the Animas river was awesome. Very comfortable room. We will visit again.

This property saved our butts. We were booked with another hotel which was horrible. We checked out of there in the middle of my work day (working remote) and headed to the Holiday Inn Express. They had a room available immediately so that I could continue my work day. The property was all clean and very well maintained. We were very pleased and will definately stay there again in the future.

Super Friendly Staff. Mostly clean with the ice machine not working on level 2. The room was well kept. The breakfast was amazing everyday. This was an exceptional stay for my family.
Con- Very active upstairs visitor. Stomping for long periods of time overnight. I recommend staying on the third floor to avoid this if a possibility.

The construction on the property was not able to work with the traffic that was supposed to be checking in . There were no mirrors in the hotel room, only the 1 in the restroom ? The hotel room had no feel that we were in Colorado. The abstract art ? Make you feel as if you’re in any hotel in the USA . I and my family have been coming to Durango Co since the 60s and this little town has lost its feel , smell and taste.

The property was good and I enjoyed our stay there.
However, after leaving they charged my card a parking fee despite not telling me up front that there was a charge for parking and they told me when I checked out we were all settled up. Seems a little dishonest. Also, a day later I found an additional charge on my card from them with no explanation. Even more dishonest.
