We spent only one night in Durango for a train outing and didn't spend much time in our room, which was probably just as well.

This hotel is one of the older types of Holiday Inns, more like a motor inn than a hotel. Our room was on the outside, with a door that faced the parking lot so I was a bit nervous sleeping there that night, but we encountered no problems on that front. I did, however, move something heavy in front of the door before we went to sleep j.i.c. On the plus side, we had a great view of the mountains from our front door in the morning.

Oddly enough, our door's safety latch somehow flipped itself when we'd left our room earlier so we were unable to reenter our room when we got back. Fortunately, the maintenance fellow immediately sprang to our aid and worked on the door while we went to Applebee's next door for some dinner. He ended up having to saw through the latch and install a new one, but he was done and gone by the time we finished dinner.

The room itself was just okay but perhaps a bit overpriced. Not too small, beds okay, Internet and shower worked fine. We went in the winter, but in the summer, I'm sure you could easily walk to the train depot.

Recommended with reservations. You can probably find something better though perhaps not cheaper.

We were pleasantly surprised. The hotel room was exceptionally clean and updated in the 2000's. Really, the furnishings were not much different than the Double Tree which I stayed on my previous visit. Best value for the $. They even had a pillow menu with down pillows, the beds were very comfortable, big tv, clean work out room with an indoor pool and jacuzzi. Just a 2 minute walk from Main Street as well. Ask for a room away from the renovations (as they are renovating half the hotel rooms now).

Close to historic main street which is nice. For the price charged, I was dissappointed there was no continnental breakfast; we were told we could eat at Applebee's next door however, they did not provide a breakfast voucher; it came out of your own pocket. The heating/air system is very old, fan under window which required fan blowing all night which made the room hot or cold and dried out skin, nose, etc. Dissappointed in Holiday Inn.

The room was a normal old motel room. Clean, neat. Breakfast was OK. The reason for the low rating is the price. We stayed at an incredible B&B (Apple Orchard Inn) the next night for not much more $, probably less if you take breakfast into account. I feel as though I were somewhat taken. I guess you're paying for the convenience to the train.

I read lots of negative reviews of this hotel and I was intending not to book here. However, when I scheduled our rafting tour the woman on the phone promised me that she had stayed here with her mother who is picky and they thought it was fine. I tend to be pretty picky, but to keep the expenses of our 2 week trip under control we've stayed in lots of inexpensive but clean and nice hotels over the past week (thanks to tripavisor!) and this is the worst and most expensive hotel we have stayed in so far. I could do this all over again, I would plan on spending a little more for a better hotel.
