"This is a lovely historic hotel in the ideal location in downtown Durango. The two taverns with live music had good food and drinks but we mostly enjoyed the music. The whole hotel has such an elegant decor. We loved our stay and would recommend this hotel."

"It was very clean, but there were a couple of small drawbacks. The floor tiles were vinyl and squeaked, the interior doors to the bathroom slammed and could be heard through the walls."

DoubleTree by Hilton Durango

DoubleTree by Hilton Durango

8/10 Good
"Generally the hotel overall does need a bit of a face-lift. It is quite dated! However my husband and I had a very spacious room, with a small refrigerator, a microwave and a small terrace leading to the river and river walk. Very quiet and scenic! The hotel is dog friendly, many dogs were there, but sound proofing must be good, because we never heard any noise. Our room would have been perfect for a doggie family, Bruno could go straight to the grass, without going through the hotel. If you plan to use the microwave, take your own microwaveable containers, none are provided."

8/10 Good
"This is a older hotel and does not have a lot of space in the room, but the room was very adequate for us. Nice size bed and plenty of space in bathroom. The four star was due to the check-in person. We all have a bad moment at times. Nice location and quiet which surprised me. I would stay there again."
