Rooms were okay maybe upgrade on the rooms and way too small and the pool had a film on top and didn’t look 👀 right and bubbly. Over all Durango was beautiful 😍

Historic Strater Hotel
2 nice places to listen to music and eat a reasonably priced meal. The steakhouse is excellent food, but quite pricey. For those that want that, it's fine.
