Boundary Hotel By Terra Vi Durango

Boundary Hotel By Terra Vi Durango

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the hotel last minute after our first hotel choice turned out to be a nightmare. This hotel felt like it was brand new. Clean and comfortable. The only issue was the air conditioning would not stay on, so the room was slightly discomforting. I run hot, so maybe not a problem for most people. The room was quiet and the beds were soft. They had four pillows for each bed which was nice. They were close to a lot of restaurants and the staff was friendly."

"My husband and I stayed in one of the tents with our small dog and it was perfect! The weather was rainy and chilly, but the tent was nice and warm and dry. One thing I did not realize was they do not have hair dryers so make sure you bring your own if you need one! This was the perfect spot for me to work, the Duran Durango/Pagosa Springs area for my job and have a nice clean place to stay. Local restaurants were awesome and everyone was very friendly!
