Leland House Bed & Breakfast

We stayed in a Queen Suite at the Leland House B&B. Yes it was a little more expensive but worth it. We had a full living room with couch, chair, desk and flat screen. In addition we had a quaint kitchen and nice bedroom with comfortable queen bed. On top of that a nice breakfast with friendly staff. We had to leave early the last day and the Lady at the front desk insisted she fix us a sack breakfast as we were leaving before breakfast. As for location it is downtown so you can leave your car and easily walk to dinner, train and shops… great place and will return!

Lovely place and even lovelier staff! We stayed one night at the Leland House while traveling through Durango. We didn’t arrive until close to 10pm yet the gal who checked us in was super friendly and showed us around. Definitely made us feel at home! Our room was huge, like an apartment. Very cool place and clean and comfy. Breakfast the next morning was great but since I eat vegan, I couldn’t eat the egg scramble they were offering. I had fruit and baked goodies instead. The young man who helped us at breakfast was doing a fantastic job! It was probably his first job and he was doing great. Overall very happy with our experience here and we would definitely return!

This place was ok, but wouldn’t go again… for the money, it just didn’t measure up. It’s an old hotel or boarding house, across the street from the main «hotel», the parking is on a graveled lot below the place and not well-​lit. The main hotel, where breakfast is provided, was nicer, but again… for the money, I’d try somewhere else… not a fan.

If you need a hotel in Durango go to this great little place. Leland House B&B and Rochester Hotel are sort of the same entity and I was helped across the street at the Rochester. Super friendly and helpful staff that gave us 10 dollars off for no apparent reason. One of the college aged employees helped us find the parking spots designated for the B&B and helped us with our extra stuff as well as being very personable.
As for the rooms, they are not what I would call modern but they are very comfortable, clean, and had a kitchenette, which we found very useful. For breakfast they had a coat cheese and spinach scramble with potatoes and fresh fruit. I’ve never such a good breakfast at a hotel. This place is quaint and friendly, and definitely deserves five stars!

This place is a gem. The breakfast was amazing plus they have cruisers and helmets! All guests can use them for free. It’s located on a quiet street downtown so it’s close enough to Main St. without all the foot traffic.

Leland House is hands down the most magical accommodation I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The staff is all friendly and personable, checking in with guests to ensure their comfort while investing a genuine interest in how their guest is doing. (I had an interview one day, and the next day at breakfast I was asked how it went!) the breakfast is hot off the stove and if you don’t have the time for a full breakfast, there is a wide variety of continental breakfast options. Oh, and don’t forget to stop back around 2pm during your Durango adventure, because Leland House puts out freshly baked cookies!

The location is killer. Right down town. Locally owned and operated. I stay here often and the staff is always nice, they have a great breakfast and killer late night cookie snacks and it’s very charming. This is the same business at the Hotel Rochester but across the street.

We stayed for just one night at Leland House B&B but would love to come back. I describe it as a quaint place and friendly experience. Downtown Durango is not that large, but this is at the heart with all the shops and restaurants nearby and in the morning we walked to the train station, maybe 5 minutes by foot.
When we arrived, the staff had already opened our room, the lights were on and music playing softly, very welcoming. As others mention, the included breakfast was very nice. You’ll want to ensure at least 30 minutes because the special dish is made fresh once you’re seated.
The bathroom was on the small side (not a complaint, it’s an historic building), but very nice, as was the bed and bedding.
My only disappointment came at check-​out time. The person who mans the registration desk had left to tend to some breakfast diners outside. After asking nearby staff twice when she might return, someone jumped in to help me check out. Nothing major, I’ve just grown accustomed to turning in a key and leaving and it took maybe 5 – 10 minutes to do so this visit.
Overall a wonderful place and very nice staff, would recommend a stay here when you are in Durango.

After staying previously at this B & B, we decided in June to stay again and were hoping for another wonderful experience. Unfortunately, the reservation was switched and the room requested was occupied by someone else. The room we were given was an alley room with chipped paint, a broken bathroom latch, beds that were so inaccessible that we had to crawl over each other to get in or out, the a/​c ventilated hamburger odors the entire time one of the neighbor’s businesses were cooking, the shared patio was definitely an after thought because the dirt and weeds were incongruent with the lovely patio across the street at it’s sister hotel the Rochester. Considering the five stars given by others I expected the bedside lamp to work (it flickered every time the nightstand shook) and the floor dirt to have been picked up by housekeeping. My list goes on to include built up filth on the bathroom window sill. It is too bad that even my lengthy complaint two weeks ago didn’t warrant a follow-​up call by anyone at the hotel. The two stars given are because of the delicious breakfast and several of the persons who work there. Think twice about your stay at this hotel.

I am rating this 3 stars because of the large Jacuzzi tub. Our room was just off the lobby and I could hear all the doors creak and the floors squeaked with every step. They serve a sit down hot breakfast but you don’t have options. They serve one hot meal otherwise you get cereal and the usual Continental breakfast options. Not a selling point to me. The room was overpriced even at the discount we were given and the bed was definitely not a queen size but was actually a full. We had been driving all day and had reservations elsewhere but the room pictured on their website looked nothing like the 60’s room we walked into so we opted for this place just to be done with it. I would stay at a chain in this town just for consistency.

The Leland House is such a warm sweet place with a fabulous owner! We were booked in a one bedroom suite for 4 nights but needed a couple extra nights. Our room was already booked after our 4 nights and could not accommodate us. So the wonderful owner Kirk gave us an upgrade to the Pittman Suite with a nice discount. This is service. I highly recommend the Pittman Suite if you have a family. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms with the cutest touches here and there. You also have a balcony to enjoy. Its perfect.
More bests about this place… Parking, downtown location so you can walk everywhere, clean and cozy, great service, live music, fantastic breakfast and fresh baked cookies in the afternoon.
Simply delightful! :)

Booked two nights here based on Unilocal reviews while passing through on a road trip. Charming B&B right in the middle of town. Seriously, location can not be beat! Once we got there, we walked everywhere from the train station to dinner to the Animas River. DId not have much interaction with staff other than check in and the complimentary breakfast, which was amazing! Afternoon homemade cookies are not to be missed either. We noticed the bikes they had available to us, but did not have the time to take them for a spin. Would for sure stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wow, we loved this place. We stay in Durango a lot and have stayed all over the town. We were there just a few days ago for the winter festival «Snowdown» we usually stay at the Strater, but we stayed at the Leland house this year and loved it.
The location is wonderful, and so is the feel and décor. Our room, as I think most in the Leland House, had a kitchenette in it. This was very helpful for us, as they had breakfast there, but that would have need us to get up at a reasonable time, which we had no interest in doing.
The staff was incredibly friendly, and very responsive to any issue that came up, which were minor.
My biggest complaint about the whole place was that our room was so comfortable, large, and contained so many things that we needed, that we didn’t go out and do as many things as we could have or should have.
We loved it, and will DEFINITELY stay here in the future.
Also, their private label house red is delicious.

Adorable. We stayed on the old inn side – Rochester Inn. Was well reviewed in TripAdvisor etc. Got a good rate, nice room – not big, but well appointed. Parking was a bit slim, but they said they had passes to park in municipal lot next door. Good breakfast with delicious home made items and great help. Would definitely go back.

Love this place. The staff was so welcoming, quick to introduce me to other staff members and it was great to see how much they all enjoyed their jobs. Bed and breakfast type hotel with 2 buildings directly across from each other. They will provide you with a parking pass to park in the back if one of the buildings. Breakfast is included in your stay and certainly the best part. They make breakfast for you. today was scrambled eggs with feta & basil & hash browns. Located right off main street, perfect for whatever brings you to Durango.

Walking into the ‘apartment’ I rented, my first thoughts were «holy shit, this place is haunted» … so I turned on all the lights and sank into my comfortable bed. I awoke a few hours later and realized this place isn’t creepy at all — it’s just not the sanitized neon of the usual hotels I stay at.
The rooms are old and decorated tastefully, with REALLY nice bathroom soaps (these things are important to me as I usually don’t travel with any). The appliance’s are modern though — with flat screen televisions and high speed wireless internet. Most rooms that I saw also have porches which are great for the smokers.
The breakfast was exceptional. They even kept it open for me when I forgot about daylight savings time and strolled in five minutes AFTER it should have been closed up. Their coffee was locally roasted and very good.
The staff is pleasant and helpful, and the rates are reasonable. I’d stay in this town AND this B&B again in a heartbeat.

Comfortable, very convenient to town, friendly for our dog and private. Good breakfast.

This review is a little bit out of date, because my stay at the Leland House was in October of 2007. However, it took me until today to notice that I’d neglected to write a Unilocal review of it.
Our impression of Leland House was definitely helped by the fact that it’s in such a cute setting. My husband and I were on our honeymoon, which was a driving trip around the American Southwest. Before arriving in Durango, we’d spent a night in Mexican Hat, Utah, a town known for a big rock with a population of about thirty people. It was a fun night, but after that, Durango seemed cosmopolitan in comparison.
Parking was very easy to deal with (we just parked on one of the main streets in front of the bed and breakfast — in fact, I think it was even CALLED Main Street). I was afraid that keys and check-​in would be confusing because I’d been told when I made my reservation via the website that I would need to check in at the Rochester Hotel rather than at the bed and breakfast. However, the Rochester was easy to find and check-​in was quick and polite.
We had booked the cheapest room in the place, but because I noted in my reservation that we were on our honeymoon, we were upgraded to a much larger suite. It was fantastic. Adorable décor, huge king bed, sitting room, large jacuzzi bathtub, and a small box of chocolates with a little card wishing us a happy honeymoon.
All of the staff was super-​friendly, and the breakfast served at our B&B the next morning was so delicious! There were homemade pastries, Belgian waffles with cranberry coulis and real maple syrup, and homemade granola with yogurt. Even if we had been in our original smaller, cheaper room, I feel that the price we paid would have been worth the experience. It really didn’t cost much more than the hotels we stayed on our trip.
If we ever go back to Durango, I would not hesitate to book a room or suite at the Leland House. They really did make us feel at home.
