“Great place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 6, 2012

This is a great place for families. The staff were excellent. They always were smiling and doing whatever they could to make our vacation fantastic! We really love this place. We would come back anytime. The resort is very clean and well kept. They also offer free guided nature walks on Tuesday and Thursday. The resort is in a great location between Durango and Silverton so you felt close to both. You will need a car as things ate pretty far apart.

Room Tip: We booked a privately owned condo but they all seemed similar. I'd also recommend booking a cond...

“Nice Place for Families in the Summer.....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 30, 2012

We visited this property last week. Although we did not stay on the property and just went for the day to do all the activities, it looked like a really nice lodge. The grounds are well kept and very clean. My family and I did all of the activities (yes, including the bull riding) which were great! It is a good drive from Durango but worth the trip! We will definitely be back and look into staying on site!

“Just OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2012

First: this is a destination hotel. Everything closes at 5 and there are limited dining options with Durango proper 30 miles away. That being said, the review is based on the hotel/condo itself.

Rooms are individually decorated. Ours was average and a little dated. Bathroom was below average. Pools were great. Parking was ample (summer visit).

Wi-Fi is non-existent, despite being given a code.

“Great variation in quality -- watch out”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

The parking arrangements, friendly retail staff, and swimming pools/jacuzzis were great. However, the privately owned condos where lodging staff will place you are often in disrepair. Ours had one place setting, a filthy balcony, and damaged bathroom fixtures and carpet.

This time for us, it was definitely a level below a well operated 2 or 2 1/2 star hotel.

“We were spoiled by the condo at Purgatory Lodge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2012

For three nights we enjoyed the magnificent views and total comfort afforded by our condo at Purgatory Lodge. Beautifully furnished, immaculately clean, and with plenty of space, we enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen, the huge bathroom and shower, and especially the balcony for our morning coffee. The Direct TV provided plenty of entertainment choices, although there are plenty of activity choices at the resort. My family wanted to stay longer.
