Hotel Gobanador is an old, grand property with a beautiful courtyard, great restaurant, and tremendous service. There were a few flaws that prevented the hotel from receiving 5 stars. But overall, if I were to return to Durango, I would not hesitate to stay here again. Let's get the flaws out of the way first. The property is older with some updated rooms. That is usually not a problem but the room we were originally given had a leak from the ac unit in the room. After they were unable to fix the leak they moved us into a different room which also had a leaky ac. This room also had poor water pressure in the shower and lacked hot water at in the evening. When we reported this to the front desk they fixed the shower pressure and hot water. They were never able to fix the ac so they gave us a portable unit which worked fine. This experience leads to the pros, primarily the service. They went out of their way to make things right and I truly appreciated all their efforts even if they were unsuccessful. The property has a beautiful courtyard which led to a few pleasant evenings just lounging by the pool. There were several events held in the beautiful courtyard while we were there. Then there was the restaurant, La Hacienda, which served some of the best food not just in Durango but I have ever had. The menu was not extensive but everything we tried was delicious. The service was impeccable. The cocktails were expertly made. The wine list was expensive, especially the imported wines. Of note there is a drive through Starbucks in the parking lot. Next to the Starbucks kiosk was a small seating/garden area. Again the staff/baristas here were excellent. There is also an attached parking garage.

It is a hotel that has good measures in the situation of contingency we are living. Sanitary tape when entering. Gel to the main entrance and lifts. Breakfast directly to the room. Good staff treatment. The room was very comfortable and the room was very clean and very clean. Clean beds and bathrooms but you wouldn't think of getting down the bed scalp because your feet were black, a very bad point for my family as I travel with young children.
