The General Palmer is right next door to the Durango Silverton Railroad so it is perfect for anyone planning to ride the train early in the morning. It is also a good way to immerse yourself in the past before getting on an old railroad. The beds and linens are very comfortable and the hot water for my shower was instant and plentiful. There is no desk in the room where you could plug in your laptop and work though there is a flat screen tv, marble countertop at the sink and the clothes closet smelled of cedar wood. It is old style elegance. The elevator is tiny and has a retractable cage. It was the first elevator in Colorado. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and helpful. A special shout out to Chandler.

5.0 / 10.0

A beautiful historic hotel I’ve had the pleasure of staying at many times over the last 26 years. Staff is always very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable on the history of the hotel and area. They include a very nice breakfast.

Hello to Everyone reading this review. PLEASE BOOK RIGHT NOW!! The General Palmer Hotel is just wonderful and a huge thank you to all staff, especially Amy and Lucia. We cannot recommend it highly enough and loved our stay with you all. THANK YOU.

5.0 / 10.0

Location is perfect! Easy parking. Nice view from the patio. Staff was friendly and helpful. Free breakfast was nice, not amazing. The coffee is a little weak, but otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

4.0 / 10.0

Ample parking, typical continental breakfast, smallest elevator in the world, older hotel and rooms, but they were very clean. Mattress needed to be changed.

5.0 / 10.0

Gen Palmer staff was excellent. The room was cozy with a very comfortable bed….plus it was quiet so we got an excellent night’s sleep. Because it was the busy season in Colorado and Durango, we had to split our time between another notable Durango hotel and the General Palmer. With many more amenities (e.g. free breakfast), the General Palmer would be our number one choice, hands down.

5.0 / 10.0

Lovely old hotel in old Durango and next to train station. Nice breakfast, beautiful seating areas and a big rooftop patio.

I wish all hotel stays would go as well as our stay at the General Palmer. Wonderful staff, spacious room with comfortable bed, and excellent downtown location. Would definitely stay here again!

5.0 / 10.0

The Hotel was historic but at the same time very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful with local suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Being next to the Steam Train added to the experience. Our room was in a secondary building and had no access except for a staircase which was not a issue but could be for some with mobility challenges.

4.0 / 10.0

This hotel was great for us as we were visiting for the Durango-Silverton train and the location is perfect for this! However, because of its proximity to the train, it is difficult to get a good nights sleep due to train horn/whistles being sounded from very early morning as they get ready for the day with train movements next to the hotel. Obviously, for us this wasn’t a problem as we were getting up for the train anyway, but is worth knowing if you’re not going to be riding early. Other than that, staff were all great and friendly, room was clean and for such an old hotel the building was in good shape! Good location for walking into Durango too. Plenty of free parking.

5.0 / 10.0

Beautiful historic hotel that allows walking to all of downtown Durango. If you're taking the Durango Silverton train it’s a 5 minute walk at most to it. Rooms were spacious and very clean.

Amazing!! I could rant for a half hour how great this hotel and service is. The location is just as good too. Special Thanks to Chandler and the entire FD crew. Fantastic job!

3.0 / 10.0

Hotel located in historic downtown Durango with friendly and informative front desk staff in Caleb and Chandler. Rooms are small and only queen beds. But the continental breakfast was not even what you might get at a 3 star. We were there 5 days and the offering never changed: dry, flavorless overcooked powdered eggs and sausage, white and brown sliced bread, no english muffins or bagels and the danish looked like they came straight from Walmart. Only saving grace was the fresh fruit…not in line with this historic hotel. The early morning coffee in the hallway was a plus. There are other choices in the downtown area to consider.

5.0 / 10.0

Warm and friendly place to stay. Very considerate staff. Chandler was especially helpful in getting us settled in after we arrived late at night and we were very tired after traveling.

10.0 / 10.0

This was a great hotel. We stayed here for two nights on our drive-through Colorado. The staff was really nice and very helpful at the front desk. It's right on Main Street so you can walk right out your front door and have access to all kinds of restaurants and shops. The room was extremely comfortable. Do note that if you want a room with windows, you may end up in a building across the street from the actual hotel, but that's OK. The lobby of the hotel has a very comfortable seating area, which they call the library Where one can have coffee, tea, and comfortably read or wait for your friends. A minor drawback is that there is no elevator in the detached building so you have to schlep your bags upstairs. It is also located immediately adjacent to the train depot so that can be a little noisy, although not at night.

5.0 / 10.0

We had a 2 bedroom with large living room. There was an issue with bath tub but they quickly took care of it. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.
