Holiday Inn Express Durango Downtown-Animas River by IHG
Great location and property. We opted for a non balcony room so we were on the street/highway facing side. There were trucks and a bit of traffic noise. We’ll select a river facing room next time.

Durango Lodge
I skipped the breakfast. The room was very clean. Best location in Durango. Next to a bagel shop and train starion, two blocks from great coffee shop. Easy walk to Las Animas river and park. Deer roam the town, so beware if you are driving. Price was very reasonable. Kudos!
