“A bad night's sleep”

Best Western Mountain Shadows

Save Review
1 of 5 stars
Saint Paul, Minnesota
Oct 2, 2007

One night was plenty for us at this hotel for the following reasons:
The non-smoking room we requested reeked of stale (and fresh) cigarette smoke as did the the furniture; large noticeable stains on the carpet; adjoining room allowed us to hear our neighbor's telephone conversations and choice of television programs; paper-thin walls made it possible for us to hear everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that adjoining room guests were doing.

We were very dissapointed in the low quality of this property since other TripAdvisor members rated it fairly well. Maybe we were in an older part of the building that didn't receive the proper updates (don't stay in room 229!)

The only redeeming part of our stay was the continental breakfast, which was very good, and of course the satisfaction in knowing that we wouldn't be spending another night there.

For $100 a night, I believe there are better, cleaner, and more sound accommodations than the Best Western Mountain Shadows.

Adequate sized room. Soft beds. Clean. Coffee Machine in the room kept overflowing. Great air conditioner. Pool ok, but inside a glass bubble. Hot tub not very hot. Continental breakfast boring and bland. Not a lot within walking distance, but you can drive anywhere in Durango within 15-20 minutes. Spotty, hit or miss wireless internet access.

“Nice Suprise”

Best Western Mountain Shadows

Aug 16, 2007

Convenient hotel less than 5 minutes from train and lively town of Durango. Quiet location. Excellent continental breakfast. Staff very nice and easy to work with. Stayed two nights, first night had a king size bed, sofa, micro, frig, coffee maker, amenities, large room...next night had two queen beds, sofa, bathroom not guite as modern as first room but still adequate. For a lower cost alternative to the hotels within walking distance from the train this hotel is great.

“Great place to stay!”

Best Western Mountain Shadows

Jun 23, 2007

This is a great hotel for families. The pool area is great, close to the rooms but in a separate building so no noise bothers people in the room. The room was clean, bed very comfortable. Our room had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, double sink, etc.

This hotel has a great continental breakfast; wide choice of lots of different juices, cereals, a waffle maker, coffees, oatmeal, etc. The breakfast room is open and warm.

The hotel is the type where the doors all open out to the parking lot. Two-story hotel. It is right on the main highway, about 2 miles outside of the main "touristy" area of Durango. Not within walking distance but a short drive and not a bad place to stay at all. There is a supermarket right across the street.

I would definitely stay here again. Friendly staff, meet all our requests.
