Cozy and Close In
The General Palmer is a small hotel on Main St in Durango. It was built in 1898, so the old building has some creeks and groans. The old elevator was a challenge, but manageable. Our room did not have a balcony, but there was a large deck accessable ftom the hallway. We were oriented so we could see the Durango- Silverton trains leave in the AM and return in the PM. If you're a late sleeper, request tge opposite side of the hotel. All the staff was friendly and informative. The complimentary breakfast was good. As you would expect, it was not exceptional but tasty and hot. We enjoyed being on Main St and quick access to the shops and restaurants.

Fun Victorian hotel
Like stepping back in time in Victorian hotel with vintage decor. We were thrilled to arrive to warm chocolate chip cookies, and 24-hour coffee, tea, hot chocolate etc. We were in Presidential Suite that is comfortable, with sofa to watch TV, and has a Keurig. We had views of the quaint downtown, with shops and restaurants just steps away, and the adjoining train station. Good breakfast with waffle machine, eggs, fresh fruit etc but no oatmeal. The staff were nice and helpful.
