Can’t change the temperature in the room yourself. Shower is very small, can barely turn around. Bars are good, restaurant is overpriced. It is close to the sights in Durango.

Staff was absolutely wonderful and went out of their way to help. The history and character of the building was fascinating and easy access to downtown and the train. Diamond Belle was awesome as was the piano player!!

Overall a well decorated Victorian style hotel. Plenty of historical things to see and read about. The Mahogany Restaurant could use more dining options and is a bit overpriced for what they offer.

The rooms were spotless and beautiful. The staff was very friendly. The heater was not working well, and only the first person taking a shower had warm water.

Lovely historic hotel in the middle of downtown Durango. The hotel layout is a little disjointed in some areas, but that’s bc of the age. Staff was very nice and helpful and our room was comfortable. We were able to book a private session in the hot tub with the help of the front desk. Parking was fairly easy but is first come first served with several different lots. Location was perfect, you can walk to everything. Would recommend.

Parking was adequate, but off site. It was across the street shared with a restaurant. The room was nice. Beautiful antiques. Updated bathroom. The room had a thermostat, but it was locked and we were unable to change the temperature in the room. It was too warm for us. Even a fan would have helped. We tried to contact the front desk for help, but were sent to voicemail. Our stay was in late October so the outside temps were mild. We were able to barely open the window. But, being on the first floor and in downtown, security was a concern. Overall, a nice stay. The restaurant next doorwas great!

This hotel has a great location in a nice historic building with friendly staff. Our main issue was the fact that the thermostat was locked and we couldn’t get it cool enough. That was a something we had never encountered with other hotels.
