The General Palmer Hotel
We stayed in a larger room in a separate building. Very nice room with a view of the hillside. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom, updated decor. Only downside was no elevator and scary outdoor stairs to access the second floor.

Durango Lodge
Great little place to stay. Within walking distance to downtown Very clean. Small room If you happen to get one with a balcony. Such a plus. Continental breakfast goes to 10:00 on weekends is great. We’ve come to Durango on the regular. Will look at staying here again.
