Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn
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.

Got to the Hotel room wasn’t ready when it said it was I was told I would get a call and never did. Went back 1.5 hours finally got to my room. No breakfast at this hotel have to pay 10 a day for breakfast and you have to pay for parking which is another 10 dollars a night not included in the rates ...
