“The Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn strikes me as a solid choice for those eager to explore Durango's historic heart, particularly the train depot, without needing a car. I think families especially will appreciate the indoor pool and hot tub, plus the thoughtful inclusion of free laundry facilities, while the happy hour featuring local craft beer seems a genuinely nice touch. However, from what I gather, potential booking and room issues suggest verifying all details to ensure a smooth stay.”
