Unregulated Temp

It was not possible to regulate the temperature in the room to a comfortable level. Outside was freezing, but the room was either too cold or blazing hot. This interrupted everyone's sleep, which is kind of the whole point to a hotel stay.

My family has traveled to Cortez for the past 10 years. It's tradition to swim and have family time before our sporting event the next day. We pick hotels based on their pool and hot tub accessibility. We were notified at check in that the pool and hot tub were closed for renovations. My children as well as I were very sad that we could not spend that time together. We would have appreciated notification about pool and hot tub renovations before booking and paying for the hotel. We did appriecate the front desk being so kind about the situation. Breakfast was amazing as well.

The only reason we booked the property was for the pool & hot tub for the kids. Neither were working, apparently for many months. That should be updated on this site. Multiple smoke detectors in the hallway beeped 24/7 with guests scurrying out at night to try to disable. I told the front desk & nothing was done. TV didn’t work properly & beds were uncomfortable. I’d suggest staying in Durango.
