Our air conditioner was not working well. 10 minutes after we called for help, Daniel, Jesus and Matt had replaced the AC with a new one. They were awesome. Abby at check-in was great and then our bartender later at the managers happy hour. Great staff!

The staff was courteous and the room was clean. The bed wasn't the most comfortable. I should have looked at the hotel pictures more throughly before booking. The way the rooms are situated around the atrium with the pool makes it very noisy, to the point they offer foam earplugs in the room. Breakfast was average and the coffee was good. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown with many shops, restaurants, and bars. You can walk to the Durango Silverton railroad.

The location and the beds were the only good things about this hotel. The room was dingy and needs an update. There was no closet, so the iron and ironing board were on the wall. Everything was mismatched and just seemed dirty. Not impressed with the amount of money we paid for the room. And it was noisy.

Bed was not comfortable at all, very firm. Wasn’t much parking. Staff gave us a handicap room and we didn’t need it. So everything was too low for us tall people. There was no mention on website that the walls are thin and could be very noisy. First clue was ear plugs in bathroom. We could hear full conversations of the rooms next to us and outside. Couldn’t sleep! Love the patio, but couldn’t utilize it. Shower was hot and great water pressure. Loved the soap. The room seemed dated and old compared to photos on the web. Not worth the price we paid.
