Nice Hotel

The hotel & room was great. The Mahogany Grille was amazing! The only downside of the hotel is that there are steps you must take your luggage up & we had A LOT. I would definitely stay again.

If you stay here, take time to explore the antiques, pictures, memorabilia all around the lobby and adjacent rooms. Truly a unique, historic ambiance. Rooms outfitted with antiques. However, our room was small; the bathroom was small and the shower tiny. Not a deal-breaker, though. The worst part was the parking situation. There is limited parking near the hotel, and some extra parking a block away. Unloading and getting luggage to our second floor room was a challenge. One elevator that can only fit two people and two suitcases. Location was close to southern Rocky Mountains; a drive to Silverton and Ouray are a must if staying in Durango.

Staff were very friendly & helpful! When I requested a room change due to street noise, they promptly did that & moved my luggage while I was out! The "Cowboy" bar was the best! Good food, live music & excellent drinks!

We loved our stay at the Stater! What’s not to like about history, old-time tradition and beautiful architecture? Plus, it’s within walking distance from everything you’d want to do downtown. We’ll definitely be back!

Requests for high floor room were not met and blamed booking through Expedia for not being able to be moved somewhere else. Ground floor room windows facing the street could not be securely locked. They hosted a huge music event taking over the property without informing guests in advance. While check in and check out clerk was friendly, when we expressed concerns about music in the guest corridor in the evening, the staff said there is nothing they could do and was unwilling to help. Would have higher rating had the circumstances been different. Expedia guests seem to be put to the worst location in the building.

We ate dinner in the Diamond Belle. Loved it. There was a guitar player. unfortunately, I didn't get his name. His playing was wonderful. My sister and I really enjoyed it. Perfect music for an enjoyable dinner. Not crazy loud and wonderful choices. He also took many requests. The food was also very good. Thank you for a GREAT stay. We will be back, and we will recommend you to everyone we know heading to Durango. Sincerely, Joan Utter
