"Durango Vacation"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Wife and daughter had previously stayed here. Wife insisted that we stay on this trip as it's been 20+ years since I had been to Durango. We really enjoyed the location and the amenities. We did not have to drive anywhere unless we were headed up the mountain. The staff and facility were fantastic. Breakfast and evening drinks were a bonus. The room was great!

"Everything went excellent. I'm really glad I decided to go with both your company and Sierra Suites for accommodations for my wedding. People are now wishing there were more Sierra Suites around. They were even kind enough to offer the discounted rate to those people that weren't sure they'd make to the wedding until after the cutoff date. I have already referred someone to your service for a wedding she's planning in Michigan." R.S. - Parsippany, NY
