Always a great place but could use a bit of help
"Breakfast options were great, staff at the front desk as well. However, our room wasn't cleaned on our first day, and then the second day, only one bed was made and the towels not renewed?"

Historic Downtown Durango
Serious Texas Bar-B-Que is the name of this place, and they mean it. Delicious sandwiches, ribs, or simply juicy meat by the pound at good prices, as well as access to hot or mild sauces for drowning it all. Family-friendly but they also carry a small selection of bottled beers.
