Durango, Colorado is an awesome town. In fact, it’s one of my favorite towns in the United States. So I was pleased when my travels (to Mesa Verde National Park) gave me a reason to head back to Durango.

This time, I opted to check out the newish SpringHill Suites hotel.

Room Entrance

The 2 Queen Bed Suite was semi-spacious and comfortable, if not “standard” for a SpringHill Suites hotel. The suite featured basic modern amenities, including free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, a coffee machine and refrigerator.

Bathroom

The toiletry products offered by the hotel were the 33 Degrees North brand which I found to be of unexpectedly good quality, and included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. For soap, they had the generic sounding “cleansing bar”.

Dining options near the hotel include Derailed Pour House, Michel’s Corner Crepes, and Eolus Bar & Dining.

Breakfast

The hotel offers complimentary breakfast buffet, including eggs with local salsa or Greek yogurt and oatmeal complete with a toppings bar for a variety of options.

Durango is known for its many “haunted” downtown hotels. Don’t worry, this SpringHill Suites is not located downtown.
