Beautiful place to stay. Downtown. Close to shopping areas! Great food in the area. The view from the hotel was amazing! My kids and I enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was phenomenal. I usually don’t like continental breakfast and the food was so good. Very clean.

Great view!
Upon first arrival, we found that our key card did not work. The replaced it immediately. The view from our balcony overlooking the Animas river was awesome. Very comfortable room. We will visit again.

This property saved our butts. We were booked with another hotel which was horrible. We checked out of there in the middle of my work day (working remote) and headed to the Holiday Inn Express. They had a room available immediately so that I could continue my work day. The property was all clean and very well maintained. We were very pleased and will definately stay there again in the future.
