First, you would be hard pressed to improve upon the location of the hotel; immediately adjacent to downtown (a quick walk, though uphill and you do cross a highway at a stop light). Immediately behind the hotel is the river, and there is a drugstore on the other side of the parking lot.

The lobby is charming, with lots of old West touches. Front desk were courteous, and acknowledged Diamond Status. I did feel that the staff in the restaurant did a poor job (overly familiar; slow and inattentive; promised to bring things and then did not) and were not overly courteus, which is out of step with the rest of the property. Service is marked "average" below, but would more likely be five stars for hotel staff and one for the restaurant.

Of note to beer enthusiasts: small but very good selection of local craft brews on tap at the bar.

The rooms are sizable, and very clean. Everything worked as it should; it's a Doubletree, you're not going to have fancy furniture. Wifi worked fine.

While Durango has more-romantic options available, this is more than acceptable as a choice for a weekend ski trip or business travel.

Not ever being to Durango Colorado I didn't know what to expect as far as the town and accommodations. I had the hotel booked for me but figured Hilton properties are usually pretty good. I wasn't appointed. The hotel is quit nice with spacious rooms and flat screen televisions. The bed was quit comfortable with plenty of pillows to choose from. The bar and restaurant and very nice with good food and service. When you check in you're offered warm cookies. mmmmm I would definitely stay here again. Just a quick something on the town it's self. Very quaint with that rocky mountain feel and plenty of great restaurants and clubs.

What a wonderful hotel, it was beautifully decorated, the rooms were large, clean and comfy. They gave you warm cookies when you checked in, and we saw warm cookies available other times during the day. The pool and spa were nice, and we had a nice time using them. All of the staff we encountered during our brief stay went out of their way to make our stay nice. In the evening after swimming we went to the lobby to fill up our cups of water (From a pitcher of water they had made available during the day) We were sad to see it had been removed the man who was taking care of the pool noticed and brought us three cold bottles of water. We will definitely come again, and stay at this hotel.

Lovely Hotel in fab location. Nice size room with excellent river view, however all rooms seem to be well appointed. our room was clean, spacious and had a lovely bathroom, good size and comfortable bed, Great pool facilities and brilliant hot tub. Excellent location to town, recommend Bells and Ken and Sues for food and drink. I would stay here again, the only problem we had was that we only stayed for one night. Looks a great place for the skiing fraternity recommended..
