Staff were great, the room was clean and comfortable. The walls are paper thin and you could here people talking in the hall ways. They were cleaning up snow outside our window at 2 am so you could hear the loud trucks scrapping the snow and backing up. They also decided to pick up the trash bins at around 4 am. Too noisey for me, I would never stay here again.

The hotel was beautiful and clean. The room was clean and I loved that there was information in the room about the name on the door. We ate at the Mahogany grill that was delicious! Then sat at the Diamond belle saloon and listened to the piano play! Everything about this stay was amazing from the employees to the atmosphere. I loved it!

We didn’t “stay” at the Strater Hotel we had an “experience”.The Strater Hotel is a step back in time. The Strater is the most unique hotel I’ve ever visited . The staff was excellent. The Diamond Belle Saloon and the Office Spiritorium both had live music both nights we visited them. The atmosphere was amazing and the service and food were excellent. We are looking forward to time traveling at the Strater the next time we visit Durango.
