Historic Strater Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"close to train"

Boundary Hotel By Terra Vi Durango

10/10 Excellent

"Scott, the front desk manager, was very courteous and helpful. On the downside, the TVs remote systems were both very confusing to use. Simple things like figuring out what channel to turn to ....very complicated, little navigating to find the channel guide! Not exactly like some systems as Holiday Inn or Hilton properties use like DIRECTV."

Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn

2/10 Terrible

"We stayed in a 2 queen bedroom in June 2026. The room was very old fashioned looking with old furniture. The mattresses were like cement. The room had bugs crawling around in the bathroom area and in the tub. We spent a lot of time killing bugs. The microwave was hiding inside a cupboard on a shelf about one inch above the ground. Really hard to use it when it's basically sitting on the floor. The refrigerator was also on the same level, and it was permanently set at a higher than normal temp ( I suppose to save money) and could not be lowered. The fridge was too warm to be effective so we could not use it. The room also had a large raised divider on the floor between the bedroom flooring and the bathroom flooring. You had to carefully step over it to avoid tripping. One night in the dark I did trip over it going to use the bathroom facilities and was only kept from falling by crashing into the desk chair. I was left with a large horrible bruise on the top of my hand, but it could have been much worse. Speaking of worse, the "free" breakfast is horrible. The only redeeming thing they had were muffins from WalMart. If you eat there, do not try the "scrambled eggs". You will be sorry. Everyone loves a free meal though and people were literally getting upset and pushing others in their haste to get to the yogurt machine. Lastly, the pool water was extremely cloudy and nasty looking."
