Super unprofessional. Also have never seen a bartender fill a shot glass 3/4ths the way to the top when measuring a drink, then get defensive & call a patron the b word after being called out on it. Not sure if all the other bartenders are as entitled and rude as the blonde one whose face didn't move & reeked of cigarettes, but if I were you I'd avoid this place.

We accepted their offer. Today, March 2, they called to say they were behind on their remodeling and could not accommodate us. They promptly, and quite unexpectedly, cancelled our booking. Fortunately we were able to get a room at the Durango Lodge, a place we have stayed at many times before, and for a lot less money. We had been looking forward to the boutique experience at the Rochester, but with they way this was handled we will never book there again.

That's fine they didn't need it. Well if you do call me. We went into Durango just to look around and he called us. He had a family who needed a big room so he put us into a King suite.

Honestly, we almost skipped this place because the Google hours made it seem closed, but we decided…read moreto try the door anyway -- luckily, they were open. Definitely glad we checked. This is the kind of charming, historic Durango experience you hope to find downtown. The atmosphere inside the hotel and restaurant feels authentic and welcoming, with old Western character throughout. The bartender was even dressed in theme, which added to the experience without feeling gimmicky. We stopped in during April while wandering downtown Durango during the off-season, when many places were either closed or only opening later for dinner service. We just came in for drinks, but it ended up being a really enjoyable little break from exploring. Since the restaurant is part of the historic hotel, even walking to the restroom gives you a chance to see some of the beautiful vintage details and history of the property. Our bartender -- a gentleman in a hat -- was attentive and friendly, and a lady in costume shared some interesting history about the hotel and building. Great little pit stop whether you're staying at the hotel or just passing through downtown. Would absolutely stop in again.

We just celebrated our anniversary at the Strater Hotel in Durango, and it was exactly what a…read moreromantic getaway should be. From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel like you've stepped into another era--in the best way possible. The Victorian charm, the historic details, the creaky wood floors, the antique furnishings... it all creates this warm, intimate atmosphere that you simply don't get at modern chain hotels. It feels authentic, not staged. Our room was cozy and beautifully appointed, with thoughtful touches that made it feel special rather than standard. The entire property is impeccably maintained, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of the hotel's history. The location is perfect--right in the heart of downtown Durango--so you can stroll to shops, restaurants, and along Main Avenue without ever moving your car. That made the whole weekend feel relaxed and easy. If you're looking for a place with personality, history, and romance, the Strater delivers. It was the perfect setting to celebrate our anniversary, and we're already talking about when we can return.

He is a world class chef with small town friendliness and he is a professional besides. His food is the best I've ever had. We hired him for two back-to-back meals and each and every dish was exemplary. Not a disappointment among them. There was interest and differentiation in each dish without it being overdone or off-putting. I was very impressed at how gracious and kind he and his staff were during the entire evening. Jimmy was calm and relaxed in the planning stages and that evening. His staff were equally gracious and relaxed. We had one dietary concern in our family and Jimmy was thoughtful and kind about how to include appropriate food for that person. Besides all this, dealing with him in this business transaction was smooth and organized, he was on-time, and thorough in his planning, his paperwork was in order. With trade artists (even in the food business), it is a joy when you find someone who has the artistry of a master, the kindness of a neighbor, and the professional skills of a capable business person. Can't say enough about Durangourmet.
