Really nice place. Managers special every evening- two free drinks per person from 5:30 to 7:30, free coffee bar all day, huge breakfast spread. Room was super nice, pool area was clean and even though we were on the ground floor right next to the pool it was very quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Our air conditioner was not working well. 10 minutes after we called for help, Daniel, Jesus and Matt had replaced the AC with a new one. They were awesome. Abby at check-in was great and then our bartender later at the managers happy hour. Great staff!

Karen

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff was courteous and the room was clean. The bed wasn't the most comfortable. I should have looked at the hotel pictures more throughly before booking. The way the rooms are situated around the atrium with the pool makes it very noisy, to the point they offer foam earplugs in the room. Breakfast was average and the coffee was good. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown with many shops, restaurants, and bars. You can walk to the Durango Silverton railroad.

The location and the beds were the only good things about this hotel. The room was dingy and needs an update. There was no closet, so the iron and ironing board were on the wall. Everything was mismatched and just seemed dirty. Not impressed with the amount of money we paid for the room. And it was noisy.
