    We stayed one night on a Friday and checking in was a little hectic! No registration desk. We wondered around and another guest told us you check in at the bar. The bar was crowded due to a wedding party! We waited several minutes with all our bags and had to stand in line where people were ordering drinks to register and get our room information! Hotel was very nice and quaint but was crowded and noisy from the wedding party. I’m sure on any other day we would have had a different experience. Beds were comfortable and room was great. They probably need to rethink check in process.

    We had an incredible stay! The hotel is so charming and walkable to several restaurants. We enjoyed the evening wine/beer reception and our room was well appointed with several items to make our stay more comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the pastries and ample fruit included. Parking was easy as the hotel provided a pass for the muni lot next door. Looking forward to another stay soon!

    Adorable hotel with a B&B feel. Was greeted with smiling staff and a cocktail. The location is in the heart of Durango. You can walk to anything downtown. The products in the bathroom were top notch. The bed was so comfortable. I appreciated the friendly staff and yummy breakfast.

    Free breakfast is basic but a nice touch too. Our room was very comfortable.

    We enjoyed everything about our stay at The Rochester Hotel. The property has so much charm, the rooms were incredibly comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The location is unbeatable for exploring downtown. Even had a late night guest (Big buck) pay us a visit outside our room (105). We wouldn't change a thing and will definitely be back!

    Such a lovely stay at the Rochester. We had a large king bed room on the second floor. Very quiet and comfortable. Location is great for walking to dinner and Durango Silverton train depot. Staff was exceptionally nice and always greeted us by name. The garden is a gem and the included breakfast is so much more than just local pastries.

    We were very disappointed with our stay at the Rochester. They claim to have “quiet hours” in the evening but they don’t enforce it. We were in a room on the first floor and could not relax or sleep in our room because of the noise coming from the bar and guests outside. There is no staff on site in the evenings. I called the hotel’s main number for help with this issue and spoke with someone who couldn’t care less about the problem. If you think you’re getting a quaint, quiet, boutique hotel - you’re wrong. They would rather be selling fancy mixed drinks to locals than be accommodating to their hotel guests. At $350/night it’s just disgusting the way we were treated.

    This was the cutest place with the friendliest staff.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I will definitely return! I’ve already told family about it! The staff were wonderful, breakfast was fresh and tasty//not like a typical powdered eggs breakfast//yogurt, locally made fresh pasties, berries! The style of the place was darling//mid center modern with just so much class. Great location too just a block or two off the main drag that has tons of good shopping and restaurants! Amazing find!

    Loved the homemade pastries and coffee for breakfast. The yogurt, fruit and granola were appreciated as well. Delicious and enough to get us going in the morning. The complimentary glass of wine or beer was also a nice touch. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is excellent - you can walk anywhere downtown. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was a little small and the building had some of the downsides of an older building. Still, it is charming.

    Quaint room, comfortable bed, friendly staff, delicious food

    We stayed in room 206. You could put a can by the ac unit, and it would roll all the way across the room to the door. Other than thinking I had vertigo, it was an awesome experience.
