10/10!
The general palmer hotel is an amazing choice for staying in downtown Durango. The service, the ambience, the beds, everything was delightful. The lobby is so nice to sit in and have a daily fresh baked cookie and peruse the huge selection of teas and coffee. It all has such a charm AND is at a really affordable price point compared to others in the area. I will definitely stay here again next time I’m in Durango!

Go back in time
Great location next to rail yard and ambiance to go back to the 19th century. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, a 7:30 am train whistle may not be for everyone.

10/10 Exceptional

The Victorian features of the hotel were beautiful and have been mixed in nicely with modern touches. The Executive suite had ample room and was comfortable for our two night stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to have the option of breakfast at the hotel, but there are tons of restaurants around for other meals. It was a great trip!
