The rooms had been updated, but otherwise this was a weak example of the trend to contactless lodging. Basic information about the room and facilities could only be accessed after check-in through a password secured website. The television was inoperable. (A lengthy explanation in the restricted access FAQ implied that it was my fault that the television wouldn't function, but actually they just didn't provide the remote and the the TV itself had no manual controls.) Any requests for assistance were channeled to an AI bot. I don't mind, and in some cases have actually enjoyed, the contactless hotel experience. But in this case it was very poorly executed.

This is one of the most beautiful and underrated Hotel that I have stayed in. You guys do a terrific job with communication wise. I really loved everything with respect to the hotel. I am glad that you take care of the guests so well. Thank you for doing a terrific job. You have gone above and beyond for meeting customer service and price point wise. A hidden gem in Durango!!!

We enjoyed having the kitchenette in the room and the ease of walking to Downtown Durango from the property. The bed was very comfortable, and the cleaning staff were friendly. It's a little loud being located right on a busy road, but the road was not busy at night.
