Old hotel, good bed, no perks that I found

The rooms are old, the shower small, but shockingly the best bed we slept in our entire trip to Durango. The pillows were half the size of a regular pillow so you have to use two. Please tell the staff at the front, while checking someone in, ask rude people that walk up with questions to wait and they will get with them shortly. Not leave the check in to speak with and help that person because they cannot wait. Also, parking is pretty bad.

I was so looking forward to staying at this hotel. It did serve the purpose of being within a couple blocks of the train station and lots of restaurant options, so that was great. As an "old" hotel it has all the things that people seem to love about Old--wallpaper everywhere, fake flowers, heavy fabrics, huge heavy wood furniture and the saloon looked like fun although we just didn't make it there in our 2 night stay. I was glad it was only two nights as I found our room to be rather depressing. It was quite small and had one narrow window. When I raised the shade, our view was a solid orange cement wall. I had to place my head against the glass and look up to even see a piece of sky. So the room was darker in spite of lamps etc. Trying to plug in electronics was another challenge. We were on the floor and moving furniture trying to find wall plugs. And then the shower in the tiny bathroom--sort of a triangle shape and so small you absolutely could not bend over if you dropped the soap:) Perhaps the smallest shower I have encountered in many travel years! We did get free parking within a block of the hotel so that was a plus for a city hotel these days. No breakfast offered but Durango has lots of food options. We would not stay at this hotel again but if you really love the old western experience, it may be just the hotel for you:)

Not a good place to stay when night temps go down.

Cold room and not able to turn up the heat because the control was locked. When I expressed my discomfort to the management in the morning she suggested I call the front desk to have an electric heater brought up to the room. For the cost of that room I dont think I should have to deal with the noise of a little heater.

It felt like we were staying in a museum! Our room was small but decorated with the era. The connected restaurant is unique. Stay away from the chicken pot pie.. it did not agree with one of us.

I called ahead to make sure the property was dog friendly and I booked a dog friendly room. I made sure they knew I had 3 dogs. I then arrived at the property to find out they only allow 2 dogs. I then had a hard time getting a refund for their error of telling me over the phone the number of dogs were fine and then even booking a room for me. It took nearly a month to get a refund. Will not book this again and I travel to Durango for work.

Have traveled alot and this is one of our favorite hotels. A step back in time elegantly presented. Front desk was wonderful, food in Saloon tasty and reasonably priced. Close to the train (love the whistles) and great shopping. Our 3rd visit and we will be back!!
