This is a little gem out of history. I feel like I passed into a different time period staying here, it was incredible. They have this adorable saloon with great live music.

Staff was very helpful. The rooms are full if antiques. I was glad that the bathrooms had reals bars of soap, since I was tired if the liquid dispensers. It was a wonderful stay.

It’s old. If that’s your thing then you’ll love it. I like modern showers, mattresses, and thermostats that work so it wasn’t for me. Location in downtown Durango is second to none though.

The hotel & room was great. The Mahogany Grille was amazing! The only downside of the hotel is that there are steps you must take your luggage up & we had A LOT. I would definitely stay again.

incredible old historic hotel. Very interesting displays. Room was small, shower very small. Floor uneven but what do you expect. Service outstanding. Diamond Belle saloon fun but does get crowded. Be aware there are steps to get into the hotel but the front desk will help with luggage.

We only stayed one night, but the Strater will always be remembered. What a fantastic piece of working history. Every inch of this hotel is impressive. The staff are lovely and seem to love the hotel and their jobs. I was amazed at the quantity of staff who take care of this gem. We will be back. We had recently stayed at the El Tovar, which was terrific, but we put the Strater beside it. I think the Strater is better maintained with nicer amenities.
