Love the location. Right downtown. Free parking. For this trip this was perfect, but other issues overshadow this for me.

Elveta United States of America

The location was superb! The decor and atmosphere were very warm and reminded us of what it may have been like in the late 1800s. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has nice verandas on each floor for sitting and taking in the view.

David United States of America

excellent location in town an d right by the steam train.

Amber United States of America

Location was great, walking distance to everything.

Julio United States of America

Fab hotel; EAT BREAKFAST AT THE DURANGO DINER UP THE STREET!

C United States of America

Beautiful beautiful building takes you back in time

George United States of America

Great location with easy parking. Super friendly and helpful staff. Room was nicely appointed.

Jay Switzerland

The 2 different desk clerks were both so nice and friendly

Julie United States of America

The Palmer is a wonderful place to stay. We will be back! My only concern, the bed was so low to the floor, it was hard to get up and the metal frame for the mattresses stuck out and it was easily ran into.

Larry United States of America

This is our second time staying at General Palmer and have enjoyed both times. The hotel and rooms are beautiful, the staff is friendly, and it’s close to the things we enjoy.

Patricia United States of America
