This is a an historic hotel, which is nice, unless you are staying in the Palace wing. The Palace wing is not part of the General Palmer. It's a seperate building. We stayed in the Winter, and the heat cannot keep up with the many drafts coming from the windows and floors. The heater does keep the place very dry though. There is no room to walk. Literally 8 inches between our bed and the wall. There is no bedside table, one 18 x 24 coffee table and almost nowhere to set your bathroom stuff except the pedastal sinks. We had to unplug the television to make coffee, and to charge our phones. The staff were very nice and accomodating and parking was great. The room was not.

Charming, comfortable but noisy!!

This hotel was a lovely property and had all the Victorian esthetic and historic charm we had hoped for. Its central location made exploring Downtown Durango on foot easy. But it would have been nice to know that the trains at the station next door started running (and blowing their whistles every few minutes) at 7 am. No sleeping in at the General Palmer!
