General Palmer Hotel - convenient but noisy

6.0

This is a beautiful old hotel which has been well maintained and updated, except for the very tiny, antiquated elevator which barely holds 1 person with his/her luggage. The hotel is on the main street in Durango, so you can easily walk to many restaurants in the area. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, this hotel is right near the railroad tracks, so you will hear the early train whistles, which are quite loud. And, being on the main street, you are near several bars whose noisy patrons woke us up at 1 AM. Plus, the motor cycles they used were very loud.

A charming historic hotel in the best location in Durango.

10.0

The General Palmer Hotel is a beautiful historic hotel with a lot of character and charm. The location is excellent, right in the heart of downtown Durango on the main commercial street, within walking distance of restaurants, cafés, shops, and directly next to the train station. The room was very clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and professional, and the breakfast was excellent. Free parking was also a great advantage. Overall, everything was convenient and the experience was wonderful.

Nothing significant. Everything was excellent and met my expectations.

Wonderful stay for a first time in Durango!

10.0

I loved how it felt like I was going back in time! Everything was cool to look at.

I liked everything! The elevator is an old style elevator, I enjoyed it, but I can see how it could be a negative for some people because it is tiny.

A hotel with character

8.0

We really enjoyed our stay here during our instate road trip . The location is excellent except for the day train noise . But the train noise is honestly everywhere and it stops around 8:00 pm. We stayed in the Presidential suite , which was a nice large room . The furniture and decor is definitely dated . But a lot of people like the old timey look - we are the odd ones . It is quite charming in its own way . It was a super hot week -@94 degrees and the old AC worked like a charm to keep us cool - a huge plus . The staff are extremely friendly and helpful . There are also coffee and water stations all throughout the hotel . The elevator is super small but a hoot. Be advised about the cute but small elevator. Overall a lovely stop on our journey.
