"This is a great hotel with the standard powdered eggs breakfast. That is the only reason I rated it 4 stars. The breakfast could be a little better. The rooms really keep out noise. The beds are comfy. The staff is very friendly and it is in a great location."

"Loved, loved, loved it!! Have no bad things to say about this hotel. Loved the room wth the view over the river and walkway and the outdoor patio. Really enjoyed the city and the meal we had on the lower level outdoor grill. The waiter was extremely helpful in suggesting Pizza places - so much so that we drove 25 miles out of town to go to the Old Schoolhouse to have lunch. YOU MUST go to this place - so unique, great service and pizza and just nostalgic with such character and charm!! We liked having an Albertsons right nearby for incidentals and all the great choices for dining and entertainment. We spent a week going to 6 different major cities in Colorado and Durango was by far our favorite in part because of this nice hotel. Unfortunately we would not be able to afford to stay here for a week, so we stayed for 2 nights - whereas all the other stops we only stayed for one night (Silverthorne, Gunnison, Salida, Idaho Springs). We did have a little problem with the in room frig working, but they came up within 30 min and opted to just bring us another one instead of making us wait to see if the adjustments made would work. We had brought leftovers from our previous eve dinner, all our water bottles, apples, dairy free creamer, cheese dip, etc and had to have a working frig. Within an hour we were set up and out the door to explore. UNBEATABLE SERVICE!!"
