The hotel was in the perfect location—just a short walk to restaurants in the downtown area. It was a nice bonus to enjoy complimentary drinks during Happy Hour. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the room was clean. We especially enjoyed the balcony overlooking the river.
There were a few downsides. The bathroom was quite small, and the shower water pressure was very low. We stayed in a king room on the 2nd floor with doors that opened to the atrium and pool area. Unfortunately, we were woken up early each morning by the footsteps of guests in the room above us. Inside our room, we could also hear children enjoying the pool and the beeping sounds from the breakfast area (possibly the waffle maker). Luckily the pool hours are 9am-9pm so it didn't disturb our sleep.
Breakfast was just okay—nothing special—but it was convenient to have the option to grab something if we wanted.
Overall, despite a few minor inconveniences, I would stay here again.

I like the front desk staff they were friendly and helpful.
The BWP Rio Grande was excellent accommodation for our brief family trip for an occasion. The location is excellent, very walkable. The room was just what we needed, no more, no less. We loved having a pool for the children. Breakfast was good. It was the location and pool that did it for us, but it needed to be clean as well, and it was! Parking can be tough at night.
Great location for walking into Durango. Many options of restaurants, bars & shops. Manager's happy hour drinks were appreciated, as was the included breakfast, although the eating area was very small for the number of room. No housekeeping during our 3 night stay, but replacement towels etc could be requested. Pool area was kept very clean & pool towels were available
Attractive pool area. Breakfast was awesome. Front desk very helpful
Beds comfortable . Liked the coffee machine. You were given two free happy hour drinks if so desired. Easy to walk downtown.

This hotel is walking distance to the downtown area and close to the train station. Loved the balcony I had to sit outside. Close to the shops and served drinks in the evening.
