Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn

Stayed one night so was OK. The room was clean enough but rather dark. Very small reception area with no real lobby. One good point : a couple of free drinks ( beer, wine etc. ) from the bar. The big disappointment was the breakfast where we had to use flimsy paper plates & cups and cheap plastic cutlery. Not much choice either. We stayed here about 25 years ago and our recollection was that it was much better then. Within easy walking distance of historic steam railroad and downtown Durango. less

Even with TM the difficulties of the 416 fire, staff was wonderful and extremely hospitable!! I appreciate their efforts taking care of the firefighters-very noble.Still plenty to do in town. Smoke clears out in the morning and weather is beautiful. less

We were taking the Durango - Silverton train ride so needed a two-nights stay in town. The BWP Rio Grande inn is next to the town center, walking distance to everywhere, most importantly´to the railway station. The hotel is newish and clean, personnel very nice, good room and (important for the kid!) an indoor pool with jacuzzi. The beds were fine, but the sound isolation felt weak, we could nearly follow the conversation in the next room. Fortunately the people were quiet. We used the complimentary self-service laundry, only the detergent had to be purchased from a wending machine. The washer and dryer were new, clean and worked well. The elevators became a kind of a joke, they were so slow. But who is in a hurry when vacationing ... The hotel offers a "manager's reception" every night with a couple of free drinks for adults, have not seen this perk often. The breakfast was standard, nothing was missed but the space was a bit cramped. All in all, this hotel can be heartily recommended, good location is most important! less

Nice enough for a 2.5*. The safe didn't work and the breakfast is Lousy very few choices. But it was a large room, quiet, clean and had good hot water. Good enough for one night while visiting the area and taking the old time train ride. less

Location is excellent if downtown is your interest. Only a few blocks from downtown and restaurants. Also very close to the Durango & Silverton railing. Rooms were comfortable and nice size. Breakfast was not much but didn't expect much. Free beer at night. less
