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.

Don’t stay on the first floor!!!!!!!!!

Nice historic hotel in good location BUT we were put on the first floor in the back which was a HUGE disappointment!!! Tiny room, barely could move, tiny bathroom, shower for someone under 5 feet tall, window shade had to be kept close as looked into parking lot and building wall. Super uncomfortable. Should have been half the price of other rooms.
