Hotel parking not at all customer friendly especially for customers with special needs. Hotel staff made NO accommodation nor any care to do so. In addition, water was not available throughout stay. Hotel made no effort toward compensation.

Their self parking is presented very poorly. We were given a hand drawn map from the front desk. We ended up getting a $50 parking ticket from the Durango Police for parking exactly where the front desk staff instructed us. The hotel manage took no responsibility and acted like it never happened to other guests.

The whole hotel is in fabulous condition despite its age. The Victorian Era decor feels authentic and the memorabilia throughout the hotel is very interesting. If you want the experience of the Wild West as it was back in its time, this hotel is the perfect place.
