Always a great place but could use a bit of help

Breakfast options were great, staff at the front desk as well. However, our room wasn't cleaned on our first day, and then the second day, only one bed was made and the towels not renewed?

I enjoyed the central location of the property. It was so close to many of the things i did on my trip. The breakfast in the mornings were very good and a nice start to my days. The room was very clean and i loved the water pressure in the shower. Overall this was a very enjoyable place to stay and it made my trip to Durango, CO that much better.

Nice motel but very generic. We have stayed at the General Palmer hotel before and it has much more character and a more interesting breakfast and frankly a friendlier staff , more space in the room, and a better location without a parking charge. We won't stay at the Holiday Inn Express again.

Family vacation

The location was great. Walkable to downtown Durango. The view of the Animas river while having breakfast was breathtaking. We even saw a deer in the river one morning! The breakfast was above average with many options. Our only complaint was the bed. It was incredibly uncomfortable and made for 6 nights of little to no sleep.

Can’t beat the views. Complimentary cookies and coffee are nice. The plugs and usb ports didn’t all work. Limited parking. No place to cross the street to head into town. Received a text from the hotel saying to text with any requests and when I asked for a 4 th towel, I was asked to come get it myself or wait till the evening time. Why only 3 towels with 4 guests in the room?

Air conditioner unit had a horrible racket noise when ever it would turn on. No other rooms were available so we just lived with it. For some reason half way through the night the rumble noise in the AC unit finally stopped. Parking was very limited next to the main street.
