It was a beautiful hotel but extremely loud. People were slamming doors, the walls are thin, the train gies by often and trucks go by throughout the night.

Awesome Stay!!!
We go to the Durango every December for the polar express. We’ve stayed at several hotel and have rented cabins for our stay. The General Palmer is by far the best hotel we have stayed at. It is right next to the train station and many of the restaurants in downtown Durango. The staff is really friendly and the rooms are exceptionally clean. The only thing thing that would make the hotel better is refrigerators and microwaves in the rooms.
