“What struck me is the secured underground parking, a real plus, and the customized pillow options, thoughtful after a day on the nearby Animas River Trail; the river view is undeniably a treat.
It feels like a solid choice for anyone wanting a reliable base for exploring Durango, with breakfast ready each morning and the Animas River nearby.”
