Missed the Olympics and was surprised by the noise
We love the location of the hotel and appreciate the convenience of parking the car and being able to walk everywhere downtown. But we are and always, disappointed in the TV. We really wanted to watch the Olympics in our hotel room but had no way of streaming it or gettting regular TV. Also we were disappointed in the noise Saturday night after 10pm. Didn't expect the bar crowd and music to be so loud.

Cute, recently remodeled late 1800’s building. All modern conveniences. Check in online and walk up to you room with a code to get in. No lines. An adorable breakfast served at 7ish AM. My husband said great coffee and he is a bit picky. Great location to downtown walkable bars and restaurants which is why we picked it. I would pick this place again, no problem!!

For $500/night, I shouldn’t have to sleep sweaty. Window unit for AC, really? No front desk reception. Manager asking my girlfriend if she is the new cleaning lady. If you want to watch TV, good luck figuring out that out for 30 minutes. Sheesh, the Best Western would have been a severe upgrade.

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.

Lots of positives and very few things to improve
All of the staff were amazing! Great customer service. The room is modern, complementary breakfast (coffee, pastries and fruits) was good, and a prime location walking distance to main Avenue and restaurants. The bar inside was nice with a good variety of drinks and the patio was perfect to relax while having a drink (during summer). The only thing that the room was missing was a mini fridge. And although there was air conditioning in the room, it was hard to figure it out (the staff even helped us but it wasn’t enough to make it work properly). Pro tip: if you don’t like their big pillows, you can remove part of it by opening the zipper (two pillows inside the pillow case). Would recommend it and come back!

I wish more hotels made it as easy to check in. Bartender is just downstairs and breakfast was simple but amazing. Everything was fresh and local. If you are in Durango, you won’t regret staying at the Rochester.

Small boutique hotel that is very comfortable, spacious and clean. Every modern amenity. Small bar with craft cocktails. Parking needs an upgrade but otherwise a great place to stay

I'm a big fan of The Rochester. The rooms were decorated really well. The bed and pillows were amazing. I would recommend the hotel for the bed alone.

This was not at all what we thought it would be--an historic hotel.,The bar in the lobby area is very cool but that is about the only cool thing about it. At $350 a night it was ridiculously over-priced. The cable tv worked almost none at all.

Fabulous boutique hotel with modern, clean room. Service was wonderful, personal and friendly. Plush towels, comfortable bedding and upscale toiletries added to the experience. Hospitality included complimentary happy hour and coffee and pastry for breakfast. The location is great too, one block off Main Street.
