Ted Jul 4, 2025 03:30:00 AM
Summary: This was a nice hotel. Stayed 2 nights. The location is great, right in the middle of everything in Durango. A block from the train station if you are doing that. Right near many local restaurants and bars ( as a side not, you must check our derailed as it is a great bar with great unique drinks ). Now the hotel is old, so the rooms are not very big and do not have a lot of modern features a new hotel would have. Speciically, no regfrigerator and shower stall was very small. But other than that, room was clean, bathroom clean and bed was comfortable. The bar was nice. Had a dinner there and the food and drinks were pretty good and the prices were not so bad. There was live music with a piano player and he was good. Parking was about 1/2 a block away. There is a closer lot but it is right behind the building and only has like 4 or 5 spots. But you can unload and pack up right at the front door. I parked my car after unloading and didn't need my car for the rest of my stay. Overall great place

Summary: Awesome! Wonderful hotel, so much detail in everything. Great visit. Even had a small room journal for each guest to write in about their visit & where they had travelled from. Only problem we had was trying to find parking lot late at night being as we were tired. Nice meal at Mahogany Grille & enjoyable drinks at Diamond Belle saloon with ladies dressed in costumes! So much fun!

Summary: Blown away by the detail to preserve the history. Will visit here again and have already recommended this location to others planning trips to the area.

Summary: This is a little gem out of history. I feel like I passed into a different time period staying here, it was incredible. They have this adorable saloon with great live music.
Richard May 24, 2025 11:47:03 PM

Patricia May 23, 2025 06:15:50 PM
Summary: Staff was very helpful. The rooms are full if antiques. I was glad that the bathrooms had reals bars of soap, since I was tired if the liquid dispensers. It was a wonderful stay.
Tracy May 20, 2025 12:24:37 AM
Summary: Great hotel! Beautiful inside and out. Great and friendly staff. We will be back.
Belinda May 18, 2025 10:25:27 AM
Summary: It’s old. If that’s your thing then you’ll love it. I like modern showers, mattresses, and thermostats that work so it wasn’t for me. Location in downtown Durango is second to none though.
Paul May 15, 2025 11:55:04 PM
Summary: The hotel & room was great. The Mahogany Grille was amazing! The only downside of the hotel is that there are steps you must take your luggage up & we had A LOT. I would definitely stay again.
