The room was very clean and comfortable. Love the couch as sitting so often missing in motel rooms. For us, being near the breakfast room was great although it could be noisy at times. We loved the close proximity to the Durango and Silverton railroad and nearby restaurants.

Our room was not cleaned after our first night. When I brought this up at the desk I was told I should have notified them that I wanted it cleaned. I was told that I should’ve been asked at check in and I was not. I asked to get the room cleaned and was told that the staff was gone for the day but she could give me sheets and a garbage bag so I could change my own sheets and throw my own trash. I told her that was unacceptable and asked her to move to a clean room. She said that since we booked on Expedia I could only be moved to an outside accessible room and she had one facing the exterior of the hotel. It was 9 degrees and we were hoping to use the pool without turning into an icicle. There was very little customer service in the transaction. We will not return despite having stayed there on several prior occasions.
