Most of the staff I interacted with were pleasant, however upon check-in, the front desk staff were unfriendly, unwelcoming, and seemed that I, the customer, interrupted their day - and as much told me so with the very few words they spoke. No hello, no thank-you, nothing but curt instructions. The room was nice and clean.

it would've been a great place to stay however, the elevator was broke and we had to carry our luggage up three floors and we also had to go up and down three floors every time we left the room. Not very convenient.

The internet was fast. The air conditioning unit made noise. The elevator was broken so had to drag everything upstairs and down. Kind of hard for one of us having painful knee problems. They did phone ahead to let us know about elevator. By then it was too late to book anything else though. Loved the kitchen and large room! Haven't got refund due to elevator yet but was promised 25% discount. They did help us in getting refunded for a different reservation on Friday night due to flood watch in area we were going to have to drive home in, so got that refunded through Expedia but it was because they let Expedia know it was an emergency for us. Very helpful.

Very nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was hot and good variety. I had to ask for additional towels, as our shower door apparently didn't seal all the way when my husband was taking his shower and we ended up with a wet floor and used the bath towels to mop up the water. When I went down to inquire about additional towels, they immediately wanted to know if we wanted another room. No, I said, just a couple of extra towels. We left for the day and up on our return, their maintenance guy was just leaving our room and had put new seals around the door! I was thoroughly impressed.

Pretty good hotel to stay in Durango

Pretty good hotel to stay near Durango. Not pretentious, but far less expensive than downtown hotels. Just within 10 min drive from the downtown. If you want to save some bucks but be near the historic downtown, this is the place to stay. Also, the hotel is off 550 highway and very quiet. The only downside is very limited breakfast. That's why I only gave 4/5 stars for my review

Amazing stay in durangos newer part of town

Walmart, Dunkin’ Donuts, Freddy’s, and dominos was close to the hotel. Parking lot was mid, only because we was very limited in where we could park to get into the hotel. Pool didn’t have many people when we went but do not turn the hot tub on, watched lint and someone’s hair float around in the hot mess. Amazing service with the workers, they helped the best of their abilities when needed towels, and the breakfast. Also, very impressed on the room size, was larger than I thought it was going to be, very clean bathroom (super plus!!!!) and the dishes in the room looked to be spotless, (I always wash the dishes before my kids use them). Overall, was an amazing stay. Let me go back and change some of them stars, 😅😅😅
