Oldest hotel in Durango and in a good location. However, this place is in need of serious room updating and should have better amenities for the price. The hollow doors are lame and the bathroom was uncomfortable, even though we are small people. Water pressure in the shower was terrible. The concept is awesome-- keeping the "wild west" vibe--but modernity should be considered, as well. I'm on vacation and I want to feel like I'm getting a 2025 vacation hotel experience, not 1925, which is around the time I'm guessing our room was fully remodeled.

It was a cool experience staying at the historic Strater hotel. Staff were very hospitable. We loved the coffee bar set up on each floor, free coffee, very nice amenity. Free parking was great also, especially for a hotel in the middle of downtown Durango. It was nice having the Diamond Belle Saloon and the grille restaurant onsite. Our only complaint was the bed matress was too soft and needs to be replaced. Overall, great stay!

Can’t change the temperature in the room yourself. Shower is very small, can barely turn around. Bars are good, restaurant is overpriced. It is close to the sights in Durango.

Overall a well decorated Victorian style hotel. Plenty of historical things to see and read about. The Mahogany Restaurant could use more dining options and is a bit overpriced for what they offer.

Lovely historic hotel in the middle of downtown Durango. The hotel layout is a little disjointed in some areas, but that’s bc of the age. Staff was very nice and helpful and our room was comfortable. We were able to book a private session in the hot tub with the help of the front desk. Parking was fairly easy but is first come first served with several different lots. Location was perfect, you can walk to everything. Would recommend.

Parking was adequate, but off site. It was across the street shared with a restaurant. The room was nice. Beautiful antiques. Updated bathroom. The room had a thermostat, but it was locked and we were unable to change the temperature in the room. It was too warm for us. Even a fan would have helped. We tried to contact the front desk for help, but were sent to voicemail. Our stay was in late October so the outside temps were mild. We were able to barely open the window. But, being on the first floor and in downtown, security was a concern. Overall, a nice stay. The restaurant next doorwas great!

This hotel has a great location in a nice historic building with friendly staff. Our main issue was the fact that the thermostat was locked and we couldn’t get it cool enough. That was a something we had never encountered with other hotels.
