You can’t beat this property in Durango if you’re traveling with kids. Everyone is so friendly, indoor pool is great, breakfast and happy hour daily, and the location is 10/10. A 5 minute walk to Main Street and 2 min walk to the train station. We go every year for the Polar Express and have had nothing but a great experience. The only downside is that the property is outdated.

Our room had pet accommodations so that was a huge plus, the room was pretty small and a little outdated but it was very clean and the beds were very comfortable including the pillows. The linens smelled cleaned (huge brownie points). We’ve stayed here before and we will definitely stay here again in the future. 😊
