Cannot wait to stay again!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Rochester Hotel in Durango. The charm of the property, the warm and welcoming staff, and the overall comfort made it an unforgettable experience. The hotel has such a unique character—it’s stylish, cozy, and perfectly maintained. What really stood out to me was how pet-friendly they are. Traveling with my dogs can be hit or miss, but the Rochester made it seamless. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the outdoor areas were perfect for a quick walk. The location is also unbeatable—just a short stroll to restaurants, shops, and trails, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and quiet. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, and every team member I encountered was helpful and kind. Highly recommend this gem in Durango. I’ll definitely be back!

So nice to stay in an intimate, cosy hotel instead of the bland chains. High quality linens, warm friendly service, everything we needed and nothing we didn't. I would stay here again.

This hotel was fabulous in every way! It was small and cozy which was nice not having the chain hotel feel. The texting checking feature was great and the host was extremely responsive. They even came by our room as we were arriving to ask if we were getting in ok. The rooms were SO clean and beautifully designed. The bar gives you one free drink a night which we enjoyed in the cute courtyard with twinkle lights. The area is also great and within walking distance of many restaurants, shops, and the Durango train station. Loved our stay!
