It felt like we were staying in a museum! Our room was small but decorated with the era. The connected restaurant is unique. Stay away from the chicken pot pie.. it did not agree with one of us.

I called ahead to make sure the property was dog friendly and I booked a dog friendly room. I made sure they knew I had 3 dogs. I then arrived at the property to find out they only allow 2 dogs. I then had a hard time getting a refund for their error of telling me over the phone the number of dogs were fine and then even booking a room for me. It took nearly a month to get a refund. Will not book this again and I travel to Durango for work.
