8/10 Very good

Great Stay

The room was nice and clean. Check in was easy and the staff were friendly. I wish they had more towels and coffee options, all we had were light and decaf. The room was actually quiet even though the hotel is right next to the road.

6/10 Good

Nice motel but very generic. We have stayed at the General Palmer hotel before and it has much more character and a more interesting breakfast and frankly a friendlier staff , more space in the room, and a better location without a parking charge. We won't stay at the Holiday Inn Express again.

Family vacation

The location was great. Walkable to downtown Durango. The view of the Animas river while having breakfast was breathtaking. We even saw a deer in the river one morning! The breakfast was above average with many options. Our only complaint was the bed. It was incredibly uncomfortable and made for 6 nights of little to no sleep.
