If your thing is to "step back in time" with old-fashioned furnishings and the feel of old, this is your place. If your thing is what hotels are supposed to be good at such as a quality bed, a great bath, and quiet enjoyment all for a fair price, keep looking. Our over $200 a night room had fewer amenities...

We have stayed here often and always enjoy it. The journals that are In the rooms for people to document their adventures in Durango are interesting to read. Having a great restaurant and a saloon in the building is also a bonus.

If you're looking for a special place to stay, the Strater Hotel in Historic Old Durango, Colorado, is decked-out finery in an Old West box.

We opted for the less expensive standard room that includes a full (not a queen) bed --a little tight for two adults. We survived! The room is clean, and full of antique furniture, but the bathroom is modern enough with shower, etc.... More

The Strater is a beautiful hotel that has really preserved the historic feel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They had great suggestion about activities and local restaurants.
