Every thing was fine with the exception of the parking garage. There is a very tight, 90-degree entry into the garage which is difficult to negotiate. We were driving a mid-size SUV and had to be very careful. There is a limited amount of open parking at street level, which was always full. If you are driving a large pick-up, I'd probably look for lodging elsewhere. If you are driving something smaller, the garage entry is not much of an inconvenience and is more than made up by the close location to Durango's nice main street and the Durango-Silvereton train. We selected a unit on the river side of the building and were pleased with the view.

Clean, quiet, and staffing professional. Breakfast is the norm. Notice all Holiday Inn express has pancake vs. waffle maker. Out 3 expresses, they were not used. Recommend bringing the waffle maker back. Allowed to check in early (nice when driving forever) and offed fresh chocolate chip cookies! Fantastic stay!
