While living outside of Durango for 22 years, I stayed at the Strater numerous times. It was and still is a lovely hotel. When we asked about breakfast, I was a bit surprised to be told that the Strater no longer served breakfast for their guests at all. The reason was blamed on Covid. Really!?! Didn’t that end about 3 years ago? And the staff didn’t seem to care about it, told us there were other places nearby to get something. Oh well, I guess nothing stays the same.

Historic hotel, great location

Very nice historic hotel with restaurants and bar located in site. Conveniently located downtown and very walkable to shops and restaurants. The only disappointment was the hot tub was out of service for my stay with nothing offered except apologies.

Overall it was good.

Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Easy walking distance. Only complaint was pillows on bed were too flat and shower was a one person pretty much. Bed was comfy though and ac worked good. The saloon bar was good. The historic value was neat to look at.

Old hotel, good bed, no perks that I found

The rooms are old, the shower small, but shockingly the best bed we slept in our entire trip to Durango. The pillows were half the size of a regular pillow so you have to use two. Please tell the staff at the front, while checking someone in, ask rude people that walk up with questions to wait and they will get with them shortly. Not leave the check in to speak with and help that person because they cannot wait. Also, parking is pretty bad.

I was so looking forward to staying at this hotel. It did serve the purpose of being within a couple blocks of the train station and lots of restaurant options, so that was great. As an "old" hotel it has all the things that people seem to love about Old--wallpaper everywhere, fake flowers, heavy fabrics, huge heavy wood furniture and the saloon looked like fun although we just didn't make it there in our 2 night stay. I was glad it was only two nights as I found our room to be rather depressing. It was quite small and had one narrow window. When I raised the shade, our view was a solid orange cement wall. I had to place my head against the glass and look up to even see a piece of sky. So the room was darker in spite of lamps etc. Trying to plug in electronics was another challenge. We were on the floor and moving furniture trying to find wall plugs. And then the shower in the tiny bathroom--sort of a triangle shape and so small you absolutely could not bend over if you dropped the soap:) Perhaps the smallest shower I have encountered in many travel years! We did get free parking within a block of the hotel so that was a plus for a city hotel these days. No breakfast offered but Durango has lots of food options. We would not stay at this hotel again but if you really love the old western experience, it may be just the hotel for you:)
