Location. Location. Location. been coming out to Durango, CO for over 10 years. Walking distance to downtown was ideal. A few blocks over from the main drag. It is an older best western. Rooms were a little dark, and dated. Hotel pool in middle of property. Hotel is next to the Durango train station. They did have complimentary drinks in the evenings.

This place was amazing. There were a lot of motorcycles checking in at the same time, and the staff of Two handled it very well and got us checked in and it didn’t take all that long. The room was spacious. The refrigerator was an excellent size. There was a microwave, a coffee pot. It was clean. We even got Two free drinks at their little bar Café compliments of the hotel when we checked in and it was wonderful.. The breakfast was fantastic for a continental breakfast. It had so much to offer and it was absolutely delicious.

Our room had pet accommodations so that was a huge plus, the room was pretty small and a little outdated but it was very clean and the beds were very comfortable including the pillows. The linens smelled cleaned (huge brownie points). We’ve stayed here before and we will definitely stay here again in the future. 😊

You can’t beat this property in Durango if you’re traveling with kids. Everyone is so friendly, indoor pool is great, breakfast and happy hour daily, and the location is 10/10. A 5 minute walk to Main Street and 2 min walk to the train station. We go every year for the Polar Express and have had nothing but a great experience. The only downside is that the property is outdated.
