Well, we just arrived and we're annoyed. We drove 6 hours to get here and went to check in a few…read moreminutes after 2. They told us that it would be $25 to check in early. I could understand that if we wanted to check in at 11 am or something because they might have to prioritize our room. But by 2:10 the rooms should all be clean. So they're forcing us to sit for an hour while to the ready room sits empty. Further, they're probably going to create a line at 3 because a lot of people will check in then. This is stupid and shows a terrible customer service mindset

This is an amazing hotel and it really feels like stepping back in time. The service was great, and…read morethe location is perfect since it is right next to the train station. Just be prepared if you plan to take a nap or if you have a baby that needs one, because the train is loud and runs almost nonstop from about 7 in the morning until 8 in the evening. The beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was okay. I was expecting a bit more, but the options were limited to eggs, sausage links, oatmeal, and some toast. They do have a waffle maker, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a good hotel and a unique place to stay.

The king room in the external building had a very high bed. I found it to be comfortable and the…read morepillows were good too. It has a small bathroom with a small sink and a table with two chair chairs. The water pressure was great. The best part: it is so close to the main street of town so you can have your parking for free and easily stroll to the main parts of Durango where there are restaurants and stores and a great coffee shop. Also, it's a historical hotel that was built in 1898 and so it has a really incredible charm to it. The seating for breakfast and the lobby area are really beautiful. The thing to know: it is right next to the train station in Durango. So if you want to take the amazing train ride (and you should!) you can just walk right next to it and you have your free parking with the hotel room, which is awesome. BUT this also means that you hear the train constantly. It is very loud multiple times a day, early in the morning and in the evening. So just keep this in mind when you book this hotel. The breakfast: the breakfast the day we were there had eggs (watery scrambled) and sausage links and a waffle maker and toast and oatmeal and cereal and yogurt. All of it was the typical continental American breakfast. I really enjoyed the sausage links and the toast. The oatmeal was meh. The coffee was not good at all, but I did drink it haha. If you have time, go to the Durango coffee Company instead. They also have an assortment of teas and hot water. I would give the breakfast a 2-3/5. It seems like they could easily upgrade this breakfast and make it something really worth going to for the price of the hotel.

I had an amazing, unforgettable evening at Ladies Night 1.0. I have always loved horses but never…read morebeen able to own one. I enjoy trail rides, with the horses nose-to-tail single file following the guide, but always left feeling that something was missing. At Horse Empower we didn't ride the horses, but stood on the ground next to them, watching them, interacting with them, doing fun activities with them. Learning communication techniques with them (and my human teammates). I felt really connected to the horses and enjoyed that immensely; it was far better than any trail ride. I can hardly wait for 2.0.
