“In my opinion, this award-winning hotel's vintage charm and prime location next door to the Durango Silverton Railroad make it a unique base for exploring the area; the Presidential King Suite even has mountain views. Though close to the train station, the hotel provides warm cookies, free parking, and personalized service. It's a relaxing and distinctive Durango experience.”
