	Date of Stay: July, 2009
We were on a trip camping throughout Colorado and were looking for a clean hotel for comfort and to clean up.

	Date of Stay: March, 2008
Kids liked the indoor pool andwe liked the location. Crowded breakfast area andnot enough chairs near pool. Exactly, what we expected.

Date of Stay: July, 2008

Locaiton is unbeatable. 1 min walk to downtown in a real congested area. Parking on the north side of the buidlng is minmal, but plenty of parks of you go to the south side, but it can be a hike to the north side rooms. Problem is the place is a bit beat. It needs a lot of maintenance to get is near the price point. Its a bit pricey, but if you want to park and just walk or bike (this town is made for that) - you cant gripe. Mattresses kind of stunk, and a lot of the towels need to be retired. Franchisee has a superstar locaiton, pretty good staff, but needs to spend a bit on his property.

We drove to Durango from Kansas to take the Durango - Silverton Train midway up the valley to backpack into the mountains. The Hotel was perfect for eight people to acclimate and repack for the trip. It is only two blocks from the train station and right on the edge of the downtown shopping district. The staff served a great Happy Hour and the complimentary breakfast were perfect. The rooms were comfortable, clean and quiet. The Best Western Rio Grande Inn is close to everything you might want to do in Durango.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
Great in-room amenities. The cafeteria closed too early for my tastes. Great location near historic Durango. Fun environment, hotel was clean and very nice. The suite was an excellent choice for my honeymoon.

	Date of Stay: July, 2007
Room air conditioner blew debris all over room. Housekeeping didn't clean that up, nor did they replace tissue in bathroom, and clean coffee pot. Free drinks in bar would be a nice touch if only there were air conditioning present. Hotel is aging rapidly, and no one seems to care!

Date of Stay: December, 2007

The Best Western Rio Grande was a very nice hotel. The room had both a fridge and a microwave along with a coffee pot. If you didn't want to leave your room you really didn't have to. The only bad thing was they had cocktail hour until 7pm and then you had to find somewhere else to go. Fortunately a wonderful mexican restaurant was just a block a way. The room was clean and relaxing and the heater worked great. We had to park a ways from our room and we had to dry our coats from all the snow. Vey quiet and I would definately stay there again.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
Very convenient! Ourrooms were by the swimming pool and it was very noisy in the morning!

	Date of Stay: June, 2007
The room was fine but the air conditioner kept me awake almost all night. Very noisy. Couldn't open the window, no screen.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
The room was really nice and the opening to the pool was great. It was in a beautiful location. The breakfast was not as good as other Best Westerns.

	Date of Stay: April, 2007
We enjoyed our stay at the Best Western Rio Grande. It was convenient to walk to downtown Durango and a great base to take extended drives to Silverton and Telluride. The hotel is well taken care of and the rooms are kept clean. A wonderful vacation.

	Date of Stay: June, 2006
Hotel is within walking distance of downtown, but not nearly as expensive as the others downtown. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Happy hour tickets for bar is a nice touch. Pretty good breakfast bar, too.
