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, 😅😅😅

At first, I was sad that I could not get a hotel in town, but then I realized this hotel was the perfect location. The constant traffic of the train was not an issue in this hotel. Mainstay was very quiet. Very clean I would stay here again.

Overall “ok”

Many things were very good. The people, cleanliness and overall room were good. The location was also good, with Walmart being minutes away, and some restaurants near the hotel. The challenges were the WiFi, which would connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect, etc. So we had to use our hotspot to do any work. In addition the 1 elevator for the entire place, was down 2 of the 5 days, and we were are the 3rd floor, and both have knee issues. The water pressure was not very good either. The gym may good for some people, but with just dumbbells and a couple of cardio machines, I ended up having to pay to go to a gym while I was there. Overall it was “ok” for the money.

We had booked this hotel and paid in full 3 month in advance and then our plans changed and I could not get my money back. Had booked 2 rooms and 2 nights and tried to cancel 2 weeks before and absolutely NO refund.

The hotel is fine. It is very quiet. The room is very basic, but the beds are very comfortable. The one downside: I booked a hotel with free breakfast, it’s what I do when we travel as a family ,get a big breakfast before heading out for the day). This was not good at all. Two dry cereal, Cocoa Puffs and Life cereal. Oatmeal packets, but the hot water available for tea not hot enough to make it. The only fruit most days: Whole apples. Bananas showed up on last day. The very cheapest kind of yogurt with almost no protein (one flavor all week: cherry vanilla). Waffle maker. White bread for toast. They claimed to have grab and go option from 5-7, but did not. No outdoor areas save for one small table facing the parking lot.

Room were a great size. and ours was an ADA room. Only things that would have made it better would have been a walk in shower. But with plenty of hand holds and a fairly low tub height we made it work for my wife. Breakfast was pretty much normal fair , but everything was very well set up and very clean.
