Rooms
Every suite includes a separate sitting area with a pull-out sofa bed, making the rooms suited to families or travelers wanting extra space to spread out. In-room conveniences include Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a microwave, a mini-fridge and a coffeemaker, though some guests have noted inconsistency in room refrigerators and hot water delivery in the showers.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site recreation includes an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness center, giving guests a place to unwind after a day of sightseeing or skiing. A 24-hour convenience store is available for late-night snacks or essentials, and on-site parking is offered for those driving in from the highway.
Dining
A breakfast buffet is served on-site and is frequently highlighted by guests as a highlight of the stay, with a good variety of food and welcoming staff. A small number of reviewers reported digestive issues after eating the breakfast, which is worth noting alongside the otherwise positive feedback.
Location
The hotel sits within easy reach of several Durango points of interest, including Santa Rita Park (about 2.6km), the D&SNG Museum and Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (roughly 3.5-3.6km), Durango Trails, the Durango Arts Center, Blue Rain Gallery, The Powerhouse, Buckley Park, Lake Nighthorse, the Durango Botanic Gardens, Chapman Hill Ski Area, and the Animas Museum. Hesperus Ski Area is about 17.8km away, and two bus stations (Trans Lux Dr. and Mercury Drive) sit within a couple hundred meters of the property.
Best for
This hotel suits leisure travelers, families, and ski-season visitors who want extra living space, an indoor pool and hot tub, and a base within a few miles of Durango's rail, museum and arts attractions. Its proximity to Chapman Hill and Hesperus Ski Area also makes it a practical choice for winter sports travelers heading to Purgatory or nearby slopes.
Travel tips
Having a car is helpful since the hotel sits among highway-adjacent commercial plazas roughly 3-4km from most downtown Durango attractions, though the Trans Lux Dr. and Mercury Drive bus stations just steps from the property offer an alternative for getting into town. Arrive early to the breakfast buffet, as it's a popular draw for guests staying multiple nights. If visiting in winter for skiing, note the drive to Hesperus Ski Area is close to 18km, so plan accordingly.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the breakfast buffet's variety and the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff, along with clean, quiet, and spacious rooms with comfortable bedding. Several reviewers highlighted the convenient location for accessing regional attractions like Purgatory ski area, Mesa Verde, and Silverton. On the downside, a few guests reported inconsistent hot water and slow shower heat-up, a hot tub with non-functioning jets, and a lack of in-room refrigerators; isolated reports of illness after eating the breakfast were also mentioned.
