Beautiful historic hotel
"Beautiful historic hotel right in downtown Durango. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Loved the historic aspect but with that comes smaller rooms, older wiring (i.e., no ports for charging cell phones), and limited (no) amenities (no pool, restaurant). Highly recommend if you don't mind ..."
