So nice to stay in an intimate, cosy hotel instead of the bland chains. High quality linens, warm friendly service, everything we needed and nothing we didn't. I would stay here again.

Cool Durango
Hailey and her team were so friendly and helpful. They helped us find a place to park our motorcycle trailer and dinner suggestions. Cocktails and breakfasts were very relaxing and charming in their bar and garden area.
