The Strater helped us imagine what Durango was like long ago. The restoration is fantastic. A few modern amenities might have been lost to maintain historic details, like elevator and room sizes as well as luxury bathrooms, but the atmosphere more than makes up for this. The front desk staff was efficient with check-in and out, and when I had... more

I was afraid this old historic 1887 hotel would be beat up and in poor shape but not so! It was beautifully restored, from the walnut Victorian antique furniture in every room to the custom made wallpaper to match the light fixture in the ceiling. Yet modern comforts added as well, the beds were plush pillow tops and the heating... more

We stayed at the Strater for 4 nights during a week long trip to Southwest Colorado. We had one of the deluxe queen rooms on the third floor. The room was very clean, the decor was lovely and the bed was comfortable as well. As someone else noted, the plumbing was a little bit loud and the sounds of the... more

Stepping into the Strater Hotel is like walking back in time. It is very well kept, considering it is over 100 years old. It is very clean. The staff is friendly & helpful. The food in the Mahogany Grille is supurb. The entertainment in the Diamond Belle Saloon was outstanding. The deluxe continental breakfast was a nice touch. The Strater... more

We didn't have a bad experience with the Strater Hotel, but for the price and from the website, I expected something a bit better. The rooms were quite small, though the Victorian flavor was pleasant. The staff is friendly. The plumbing is very loud, and there was some "other room" noise. The location is very good, and they had some... more

My wife and I really enjoy our stay at the Stater Hotel. It's location is great, we could walk to everywhere we wanted to go. The breakfast was very nice, my wife went every morning. The only draw back was, no coffee maker in the room. But we enjoyed it so much we are going back and taking our friends. more

The rooms are quite comfortable with all the modern amenities. But it is the elegant Victorian ambiance that makes it fun. The Diamond Belle Saloon off the lobby is a lively evening diversion. You can't beat the location in the heart of the downtown, an easy stroll to the Durango-Silverton Railroad, galleries, shopping and great restaurants. The only downside is... more

We have stayed at the Strater many times all different times of the year. Although we usually stay with out son and his wife when we travel alone from southern N J to Durango, we always choose the Strater when we are bring friends or relatives with us. We like the antiques in this hotel and we like the entertainment... more

The hotel is charming and nice to visit, but the service is not what you would expect from a four star hotel. We stayed in room 223 and all we heard all night was noise and party goers shouts and screams from 10pm to around 2 or 3am. We had to go home to relax from our vacation. When we... more
