If you stay here, take time to explore the antiques, pictures, memorabilia all around the lobby and adjacent rooms. Truly a unique, historic ambiance. Rooms outfitted with antiques. However, our room was small; the bathroom was small and the shower tiny. Not a deal-breaker, though. The worst part was the parking situation. There is limited parking near the hotel, and some extra parking a block away. Unloading and getting luggage to our second floor room was a challenge. One elevator that can only fit two people and two suitcases. Location was close to southern Rocky Mountains; a drive to Silverton and Ouray are a must if staying in Durango.

Requests for high floor room were not met and blamed booking through Expedia for not being able to be moved somewhere else. Ground floor room windows facing the street could not be securely locked. They hosted a huge music event taking over the property without informing guests in advance. While check in and check out clerk was friendly, when we expressed concerns about music in the guest corridor in the evening, the staff said there is nothing they could do and was unwilling to help. Would have higher rating had the circumstances been different. Expedia guests seem to be put to the worst location in the building.

The décor of the property was great was disappointed that the spa was closed when we arrived after calling in advance to make sure it would be open to use the hot tub while we were there.
