Excellent position on edge of Durango which is a lovely old western town with plenty of shops and restaurants, plus the Durango and Silverton railway and museum.

Rooms good size but tiny bathroom, vanity unit outside bathroom.

Nice lobby area with free internet. Pleasant and helpful staff.

Hotel positioned along side fast flowing river, nice outlook, small picnic area with tables.

Right next door to large Albertsons grocery store and a liquor store. If that is not enough shopping there is a bus every half an hour which runs from the front entrance of Albertsons to Walmart about three miles away, several other shops in this shopping mall too. The fare is only one dollar so excellent value

Stayed here with a large group and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room and the furnishings. It was much better than I anticipated. This is the older motel type Holiday Inn so some rooms open up onto parking lot, but your also right on the river so its sort of a tradeoff. The only negative is the attached Applebees's Rest. They are never fast under the best of times but they seemed overwhelmed by groups filling the restaraunt at all hours. There is a Dennys one block down the road, but that aside the hotel and facilities were just fine and I plan to return.

LOCATION - GREAT - WALK TO THE HISTORICAL CITY CENTER
HOTEL - It was "fine" The property is old and worn.
Our check-in went smooth until my friend came back and showed me our room (#200) on the end next to the road. Went back to the front desk and asked if it's noisy and was told it was not. "the city shuts down at 11pm" He didn't mention what time the city wakes up...
When I pulled my sheets down I found socks in the bed. (The linens were clean-looked like the socks went thru the wash) Plus I was too tired to address the issue that night.
The next morning I presented the socks to the front deck, questioned the noise and lack of sleep I received. Manager on duty told me it was considered a noisy room.
I'm not a complainer, but at check out I nicely adressed the issues and asked what kind of compensation I would receive. The manager comped me one night and I thanked him.
I then reminded them that I was a travel agent and an employee of AAA for the past 16 years.

The best thing about this hotel was the location - walking distance to some great restaurants on Main Ave. The room was clean although a friend commented on his room having a smoky smell. The other downside was mattress: I felt I was gonna slide off at times. Still glad we stayed there though. It was nice to have the view of the Amimas river behind the parking lot.
