"It was a beautiful, old hotel full of history. Our room was very large, with a comfy bed and nicely decorated with an outside the bathroom vanity which is essential when husband and wife are trying to get dressed and out the door to go explore the cute town of Durango. The balcony with chairs outside the second story was a nice place to drink coffee or bring togo dinner and watch the sunset or the railroad train come by. Loved the afternoon warm cookies and the coffee and tea table available all day. I will defiantly be staying here again. It did include a nice hotel style breakfast which was a nice touch"
