Comfort Inn & Suites Durango

10/10 Excellent
"Great, helpful staff. The breakfast was good with ample choices. If you get a room on the east side of the property you may notice some road noise. It’s not unacceptable- just something to be aware of. If you like to walk, there’s a trail by the river and it’s only about 15 minutes to get there. Otherwise it’s a 2 minute drive. Safe with no issues to mention. I would stay there again."
