While the room is large and light-fllled, it is unbearably noisy due to the restaurant beneath it, which plays loud music until at least midnight. I came around 9pm from dinner to pack and sleep before my heading to the airport at 3:30am for a 7am international flight. I barely slept and only between 1am and 2:30am. I was given this room despite telling the hotel I had an early flight and needed quiet to sleep. I will never stay again at Durango 219. I do not understand why anyone would.
While not my main complaint, I was also dismayed by the black mold in the shower that probably hadn’t been seriously scrubbed in at least a year.
I also found the furnishings, with the exception of the bed, uncomfortable. After an afternoon wander through Roma Norte and Condessa, the chaise was not the place I’d hoped for to put my feet up and the chairs were not in the least appealing. When I sat at the desk to send a few emails, the middle drawer kept sliding open. These smaller decor issues were bearable, but not being able to sleep was unforgivable.
I should have known when they charged my room upfront when I’d selected the option to pay at the property, that staying at Durango 219 was a slippery slope. Why this place is receiving a rating over 7 I have no clue. Do not stay there.
