Very nice facility. A 15 minute walk to historic downtown.
Pros:

We are IHG members and I decided to splurge on a riverfront room here with points and cash. It was not inexpensive. The view was nice, and we were able to watch rafters and paddle boarders go by. It is not in the heart of downtown, and you have to cross a multi-lane highway to get to Historic Durango. There is a traffic light two blocks down, making it easier. The rooms are nice, and the breakfast area was large and offered great selections. We were happy with the room. When I was reading reviews for this hotel, someone noted if you parked in the underground garage, they charge you $5 per day. Well, we parked out front, and were still charged $5 per day. We also got charged $5 per day for "Green Energy Fee." I don't know what that is, and maybe Colorado requires that, but I hate when a hotel nickels and dimes you when you've already paid a substantial amount for the room.

Pros:

localisation à 5 minutes main street et 10 minutes du départ du train Durango-Silverton.
grandes chambres, grands lits
frigo dans la chambre
café, thé, eau à disposition 24h/24
salle de petit déjeuner avec vue sur Animas River, et terrasse accessible donnant sur Animas River très agréable

Cons:

annonce sur booking mensongère : cet hôtel ne propose pas de transfert gratuit aéroport Durango - hôtel. De plus l'hôtel ne répondait pas aux relances de questions / cela sur la messagerie booking. J'ai du commander un Uber en dernier recours.
si vôtre chambre est du côté rue, assez bruyant car rue assez passagère : demander chambre côté Animas River
climatisation très bruyante mais pouvant être coupée

Great location in Durango
Pros:

Really liked this hotel. We found the rooms spacious and clean and the location was great. We could walk to the train, the main reason we were in Durango, and also to Main Street where there were lots of restaurant options.

In addition we had a room with a balcony that looked over the Animas river and enjoyed sitting out there. And a path along the river was easily accessible from the hotel so we were able to enjoy walking along it.

Would definitely stay here if we ever come back to Durango.

Nice hotel, great location, comfortable & fair price
Pros:

Hotel Being on the river & river walk was great. Comfortable bed , room was nice, patio in back of hotel was real nice and breakfast was good although I would like hot oatmeal. 10 minute easy walk to Main Ave made shopping easy.

Cons:

One small detail was our first night we arrived I asked for a quiet room but we were put in a room along the road (noisey). I went to the front desk for a new room the lady said none were available along the back of hotel. That was not the case as the lady the next day first thing in the morning (8am) moved us with no problem. Thank you for the accommodation.
