Everything was so easy from check in to arrival and check out in the morning. The property is gorgeous and they thought of everything you could possibly need - from glasses of water to a sound machine and top notch bedding and toiletries! Location is also wonderful and it's easy to walk to so many restaurants and shops! This will be our go-to stop anytime we are in Durango!

The overall stay was great! This was the first digital check in that I have ever done and made getting in a breeze. The only complaint would be the limited parking, but the staff made sure to help ensure we found parking. Definitely a unique hotel experience and would recommend to couples of all ages.
