The whole hotel is in fabulous condition despite its age. The Victorian Era decor feels authentic and the memorabilia throughout the hotel is very interesting. If you want the experience of the Wild West as it was back in its time, this hotel is the perfect place.

We ate dinner in the Diamond Belle. Loved it. There was a guitar player. unfortunately, I didn't get his name. His playing was wonderful. My sister and I really enjoyed it. Perfect music for an enjoyable dinner. Not crazy loud and wonderful choices. He also took many requests. The food was also very good. Thank you for a GREAT stay. We will be back, and we will recommend you to everyone we know heading to Durango. Sincerely, Joan Utter

I enjoyed my two nights at this historical hotel. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The common areas of the hotel were well kept. I found the room clean with adequate space for three. However, there’s little countertop space for personal items in the room assigned. The most disappointing was the climate control system in the room. With the thermostat set to 60f, the room would not cool below 75f. That made for two warm nights.

great hotel, ok room, tiny shower.

incredible old historic hotel. Very interesting displays. Room was small, shower very small. Floor uneven but what do you expect. Service outstanding. Diamond Belle saloon fun but does get crowded. Be aware there are steps to get into the hotel but the front desk will help with luggage.

Fantastic piece of working history

We only stayed one night, but the Strater will always be remembered. What a fantastic piece of working history. Every inch of this hotel is impressive. The staff are lovely and seem to love the hotel and their jobs. I was amazed at the quantity of staff who take care of this gem. We will be back. We had recently stayed at the El Tovar, which was terrific, but we put the Strater beside it. I think the Strater is better maintained with nicer amenities.
