The General Palmer Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I did not expect the modern level of comfort provided at the General Palmer from a historic hotel. The historic decor was beautiful. The rooms, bathrooms, and amenities were modern and comfortable. Perfect location for the railway. Quaint walkable location. Balconies and lounges were nice. Breakfast was also tasty and a good variety."

Adobe Inn

Adobe Inn

8/10 Good
"Hotel was a bit dated, however the price was right and mostly clean. AC unit was a bit noisy, but that seems typical at this price point. Hot tub was nice, linens were clean, but the bedding was maybe a bit questionable, kind of pilled lint on the bed sheets so I was 100% convinced it was perfectly clean. Beds appeared sunk in, but on sleeping were actually fine. Parking was tight -- early evening no problem but late evening on Saturday wound up on the street as there were no more spots. Surprisingly, the age of the hotel worked in its favor as it was quieter than expected from both street noise and other guests, like it was built out of concrete. We were street side and it wasnt a problem. Overall a decent value on a super busy weekend in Durango. Probably not our first choice but would stay again if needing that last minute budget option."
