So nice to stay in an intimate, cosy hotel instead of the bland chains. High quality linens, warm friendly service, everything we needed and nothing we didn't. I would stay here again.

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.

This hotel was fabulous in every way! It was small and cozy which was nice not having the chain hotel feel. The texting checking feature was great and the host was extremely responsive. They even came by our room as we were arriving to ask if we were getting in ok. The rooms were SO clean and beautifully designed. The bar gives you one free drink a night which we enjoyed in the cute courtyard with twinkle lights. The area is also great and within walking distance of many restaurants, shops, and the Durango train station. Loved our stay!
