I could walk right across the street and be in Downtown Durango and walk along the river. Amazing old time charm from the old world wooden rotating entrance door to the beautiful ceilings and wood work. The rooms were very clean and spacious with a microwave and mini fridge. The warm cookies you get on check in are delicious. The game room was and great add on with classic games like jinga, cards,and sorry. I had a great stay and will definitely be back.

We stayed at this hotel due to its location close to the train station and having a room overlooking the river. For an older hotel, it was really cool with a feeling of stepping back into time. Nothing smelled moldy and we really loved the ambiance. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and were not disappointed. Food was excellent! Seriously, if I lived in Durango, I would eat at this hotel regularly! Servers were attentive and friendly. In fact, all employees at this hotel were super nice and helpful. Only complaint would be there was no one to help get our luggage into and out of hotel and it’s a bit tricky because the main, covered entrance is only stairs. There is an ADA ramp, but it isn’t covered and a bit of a distance from an entrance. We bought umbrellas at the Albertsons next door and made it work. Otherwise, our room was clean and spacious, beds and pillows were very comfortable and A/C and heat worked nicely. I highly recommend staying here.

Awesome location, Jaclyn at check-in made it as warm and welcoming as we could’ve ever hoped for. Room was clean and had a great view of the river. Had no idea warm cookies was apart of the deal but 10/10 would stay here again.

Our stay at the DoubleTree in Durango is always a fantastic experience. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the location feels safe and is within easy walking distance of downtown. The staff is consistently welcoming and friendly, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. Our kids especially love the indoor pool and watching the ducks along the river

By far the best hotel we’ve stayed in. Everyone was so friendly. Jaclyn (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was extremely helpful and sent me a few texts throughout our stay to make sure our every need was met. The room was clean and well kept. So much space compared to other hotels we’ve stayed in. The view of the river below was breathtaking. Everything was hard wood from the front desk to the sinks in the bathroom. Just gave that warm cozy feeling. Dinner was delicious as well. It’s right across the street from the train station. So close you can walk to it. My husband, kids and I would give it 10 stars if we could. We will drive all the way back from Texas and stay here again! It’s that good.

We stayed here last week for Christmas vacation. We booked two nights for two queens with a river view and it was perfect! We wanted to add another night but our room was booked so the nice lady at the desk was able to get us into the room next door but it was a king and pull out sofa which was not a big deal. She stated the new room would be top priority so we could move over. Once we moved in we noticed it wasn’t cleaned very well. We found an Oreo cookie in the floor, a tube of chapstick in the bathroom and the towels looked as if they were thrown on the rack. We love this hotel so that was a bummer. The location is perfect as there’s a grocery store next door, food and shopping a block away and the river behind the hotel is beautiful. The warm cookies and free hot coffee were so nice!

Some of the reviews on here made me skeptical on reserving a room but I'm so glad I did, it has such a classic charm that matches this town of Durango, everyone was so friendly, the restaurant was so good and the view was nice! Housekeeping came by everyday of our day and the fresh cookies were the absolute best, everything was extremely close like Albertsons is almost in the same parking lot and McDonald's is right across the street or you could walk to historic Durango less than a mile away, the Durango train is also right in front of the hotel and close approximity to everything ...I would stay here again!!

We picked the best location for our vacation. Very easy to get anywhere in the location. We were so blessed to have Albertsons right near us as well. The Aminas river was such a beautiful bonus! We took many walks along the walking trail. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Our room was very spacious, clean, and quite. We enjoyed our stay!
