Nice Hotel with a great location near the RR station and Main Street. Good variety of food for buffet breakfast. We enjoyed the Managers reception in the evening. Lots of close parking. The rooms are located around and above the pool in the center of the hotel which can be kind of noisy in the evening. We would stay here again if in Durango.

This is a great hotel, right in the heart of Durango, within walking distance of all the fun. Would absolutely recommend it and would definitely stay here again. The staff was friendly and the happy hour and breakfast were also really good. Check them out if you're in the area!

Great stay , Hot tub was very nice ! Service was great too! The Manager was very helpful and was friendly. The breakfast was ok, could have been better . I would have to say the breakfast was not that bad ,but the eggs and the meat was not very good at all .

Perfectly nice Best Western hotel with the one odd thing being that many of the rooms have no exterior view. I was a bit surprised to realize the one window was a view out to a corridor - after which the curtain was shut. Odd configuration but nothing wrong otherwise. The managers happy hour drinks (why no snacks?) was a nice surprise.

We called for an early check in and they exceeded our expectations! We were greeted with a smile and friendliness we had been missing. The suite was beautiful (just missing a better view) but ample room to spread out and relax and enjoy the space. Pool area and hot tub was very welcoming. They offer free happy hour every evening, and a hot breakfast. The location is at the end of 2nd St so all you have to do is walk down the street and you're in the heart of Durango. Loved this town and wish we were staying longer. Can't say enough nice things about this property!

Hotel is noisy during pool hours because the pool is in the middle of all the rooms. If you have young kids it's probably nice and convenient though. After pool time it was just fine. The place is older and could probably use updating, but the staff were very friendly, the room was clean, and they had a fantastic breakfast. If you have kids it is a good place to stay. The location is good and seems safe but parking is tight. Overall we were very happy with the stay.

Just there overnight. Clean and quiet. Comfortable rooms. Our room did not have any view. Would have appreciated it if the wall had some colorful graffiti on it. We were on the 2nd floor. Rooms: Roomy, with refrigerator and microwave. Good beds. Clean. Food and drinks: The free breakfast was a full complement of choices. They offer two free drinks at happy hour.

Great location. Walking distance to a lot of great restaurants plus can walk to the train as well. Food and drinks: Happy hour every night at the hotel was great. Breakfast was good and the hotel was walking distance to a lot of great restaurants. Seasons Rotisserie and Grill and 636 Main are both great sit down restaurants, Fired Up Pizza is wood fired, 2nd Deli and Spirits for sandwiches, Grassburger for burgers and if you like crepes a must is Michels Corner Crepes.

Great hotel within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the Durango & Silverton railroad. Didnt need to move the car for our two-night stay. Very homey - a little reception each night in the breakfast area, great breakfasts, and room was terrific. The large, wonderfully heated pool and spa were very enjoyable. Would stay here again.

Great location in Durango. Walking distance to various places in town, like the train depot. Our bed was comfortable and the room large. Grace made check-in easy. The happy hour was a pleasant surprise. The woman at the bar during happy hour was fun and personalable. She was also up early making breakfast. We would stay here again.

We had ants all over the place. Spent 4 nights stuck there. Every morning they were on the nightstands and in the bathroom. On the bed... just everywhere. Had to kill them Every. Single. Day. The fan in the bathroom was broken. No parking anywhere, had to hike in every day. Overall, massively disappointing. Told the front desk, they offered nothing. Wont be back. Only plus? Close to the train station.

Rooms are super noisy because of the pool being in the middle of the hotel. The rooms are old and way outdated. The rooms smell old/mold and musty and the bedding is not much better. It s a pretty dingy place so don t think it being a best western plus makes it better than a standard best western, it s not. Location is right on the highway.

We stay here annually with our three young boys and it is the perfect spot for families! Amazing location right next to the train, comfy beds, clean rooms, plenty of parking. Free happy hour (cheers!) and free breakfast. Shout out to Brandon who works the bar and breakfast - he does an amazing job and the food is great! We will be back again next year!
