Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Durango Downtown by IHG
2/10 Terrible
"Room still wasn’t ready when we tried to check in at 5. The waitress was horrible at her job. They charge for parking which is ridiculous considering how much money it costs to even stay there. The breakfast you have to pay extra for was gross."
"This hotel BLEW ME AWAY! It's gorgeous, clean, staffed by lovely human beings, centrally located, historical, full of charm, and get this—they offer a free breakfast that is the best: eggs, sausage, muffins, oatmeal, cereals, breads/toast, and fresh coffee and tea 24/7!! The outside alone is worth a visit, but when you step inside it's like you've gone back in time to 1898, but with all the modern conveniences. It's also located right next to the historical & fun Durango > Silverton train depot from where the train going back & forth between those cities departs. TAKE IT! Just know you'll here the sound of the steam engine whistle every morning at about 8am-ish, again at 9am (departures), then once more w/ the return trains around 5:30pm & 6:30pm. I'm VERY sensitive to noise & thought it'd bother me, but nope, I LOVED IT. Made me feel like I was in the Old West & I actually looked forward to it. The hotel is in a PERFECT spot at the south end of town on the main strip (not loud, very quiet). This location enables you to just pop out of the hotel & walk up one side of the street as far as you want, then back down the other side. And along the way enjoy dozens of cafes, restaurants, stores, trinket shops, and specialty stores. I WISH I COULD MOVE TO DURANGO., GO! And stay at the General Palmer. We're going back! Shout out to AMAZING STAFFERS: Travis, Chandler, Caleb, Lucia, and Oxana. WE LOVE YOU GUYS! (Just 1 minor negative: no microwave, no fridge.) Rooms are AMAZING!"
"This property is showing its age. The carpet when you walk in from the main parking area is matted its so dirty. The door to our room didn't shut properly, the bathroom door was coming apart, the trim around our room was all torn up. The AC remote didnt work and the unit never shut off even though we set it on auto. The breakfast was passable, but was on par with much cheaper hotels.
We paid a premium for Memorial Day weekend, and at almost 300 per night, it needed to be much nicer."
