ADORABLE FIND!

Cannot wait to stay again!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Rochester Hotel in Durango. The charm of the property, the warm and welcoming staff, and the overall comfort made it an unforgettable experience. The hotel has such a unique character—it’s stylish, cozy, and perfectly maintained. What really stood out to me was how pet-friendly they are. Traveling with my dogs can be hit or miss, but the Rochester made it seamless. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the outdoor areas were perfect for a quick walk. The location is also unbeatable—just a short stroll to restaurants, shops, and trails, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and quiet. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, and every team member I encountered was helpful and kind. Highly recommend this gem in Durango. I’ll definitely be back!

So nice to stay in an intimate, cosy hotel instead of the bland chains. High quality linens, warm friendly service, everything we needed and nothing we didn't. I would stay here again.

The Rochester is a Gem in the heart of Durango. The staff are amazing and the rooms are awesome in this OG building. Bonus points for The Peeples Bar and downtown vibe, walkability to all downtown Durango Shopping and Dining. Awesome, awesome stay, highly recommended!
Douglas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The overall stay was great! This was the first digital check in that I have ever done and made getting in a breeze. The only complaint would be the limited parking, but the staff made sure to help ensure we found parking. Definitely a unique hotel experience and would recommend to couples of all ages.

I love the Rochester. It is my favorite hotel in Durango. We love the easy check-in, the rooms are roomy and clean, the bar area is fun and the garden area is such a nice little retreat.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was fabulous in every way! It was small and cozy which was nice not having the chain hotel feel. The texting checking feature was great and the host was extremely responsive. They even came by our room as we were arriving to ask if we were getting in ok. The rooms were SO clean and beautifully designed. The bar gives you one free drink a night which we enjoyed in the cute courtyard with twinkle lights. The area is also great and within walking distance of many restaurants, shops, and the Durango train station. Loved our stay!

Cool Durango

Hailey and her team were so friendly and helpful. They helped us find a place to park our motorcycle trailer and dinner suggestions. Cocktails and breakfasts were very relaxing and charming in their bar and garden area.
