Very nice, centrally-located historic hotel. Very friendly staff and nice ambiance. The only downside for us was that they were hosting a business event the day we arrived that essentially took over the bar and common areas leaving no space for staying guests and a long line at the bar so we went in search of someplace else to relax and grab a drink after a long drive.

Very loud property. It’s an old building that has been nicely renovated but the walls are so thin. And the floor above you can hear everything! Any footsteps and movement.

Felt like we were staying with friends

Fabulous boutique hotel with modern, clean room. Service was wonderful, personal and friendly. Plush towels, comfortable bedding and upscale toiletries added to the experience. Hospitality included complimentary happy hour and coffee and pastry for breakfast. The location is great too, one block off Main Street.

Our stay was incredibly enjoyable. The property and rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable. The service is outstanding! Everyone that we met was friendly and helpful. Brook, Iris, Kara, Olivia and our man, Tybie. It was our 30th anniversary and we couldn't have planned it any better. They made us feel special. The Rochester is perfectly situated one block from Main Street. We were impressed by all of the restaurants, as the service and food were exceptional. Free parking next to the hotel. Durango is a special place to visit.
