Can’t beat the Avon! It’s the best place in town for adventurers.

We love the Avon! Dog friendly, communal spaces, and character!

First class experience all the way. Don't tell itself is full of rustic charm and the staff was friendly and professional. We're recommend to any traveling in the Durango Silverton area.

There are so many things to like about this place it's hard to list them all.

We needed a hotel suddenly secondary to fresh snow storm. Few told available in town. The Avon is a restored 100* year old establishment, functioning previously to house miners. The owner has created a cozy, comfortable hotel. So glad we had the opportunity to experience the Avon. Would definitely recommend

The most surprising aspect is that we never interacted with someone in person. There was a note to make a phone call when checking in. The first person didn't answer; fortunately, the second one did. I was told where to find the key to our room and where it was located on the 3rd floor. No elevator since this is a historic building with numerous antiques. This property was really more of a hostel since it had shared bathrooms, which were nice! The problem we had is that it was noisy with sounds from other guests coming and going on the creaky wood floors. Fortunately, it was cool since there was only a fan in the room for air circulation. An advantage of this property is that it is not on the main street in the center of town so, I assume, that it would be quieter from outdoor sounds. For people wanting to visit, there were nice areas both inside and outside for people to sit. As a plus, one could use the kitchen to cook if they wanted. A variety of teas and coffee was available in the lobby in a Keurig machine. When checking out, one puts the key in a drop box.

We were traveling to see the colors with my 88 year old Mother in Law in western CO and stayed in Silverton because lodging in the area is outrageously expensive. Found the Avon online. It was nothing like we were expecting but delightful all the same. Bohemian is the word I’d use to describe it. It was very clean, the only problem we had is getting my MIL up and down the stairs but other than that we had a nice stay

Stayed in bunk bed room, sharing with fellow hikers. The combination of private rooms and hostel style bunk beds is rather unique. Great way to meet and interact with multitudes of hotel occupants.

I enjoyed staying in the 3-bed hostel-style room. A few days ago I stayed in the 5-bed room and that felt a bit too cramped, but this time it was quite a nice experience.

Love the mix of style and comfort

We never saw anyone who worked there. Our key was given to us by a guest. The bar was nonexistent, only in pictures , there but nonfunctional. Way overpriced for what was offered. An overpriced hostel at best.

Great place, thanks!

Very unique stay! This is basically a hostel with private rooms, would stay here again.

LOVE the style and the facility - like staying in a hostel back in the wild west days but with great amenities. I love the design throughout the facility with all the old items, etc. Can't beat the price too for a dorm room if you are in the area for whatever reason and don't want to spend too much money on a hotel. However - I did not have a good night sleep which was why I paid to crash at the Avon. For two reasons: 1) The room was SO hot. No idea if they have AC or not but the room was hot and stuffy. I know Silverton is up in the mountains and has nice evening air but it was not helpful inside that room. 2) Two pillows were provided - both were huge and very thick/hard which did not work for my neck. Had to go with no pillow which also did not help. Need to remember to bring my own pillow when traveling by car and have toom to take it with me. Bottom line - would probably stay there again and hope to sleep better with my own pillow. Room temperature might still be an issue I will have to consider.

The Avon is an excellent stay- the highlight of our visit to Silverton!

I loved this funky little place it had a positive vibe about it

Second time at the Avon. Stayed as part of a trip to hike Ice Lake. Bonus for this place is it is a stopover for though-hikers on the Colorado Trail. Great to talk with the hikers about their adventures. Will be back!

Very good location in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It is an old building converted to a lodge & restaurant. Common areas are very well decorated like an old Western saloon. Liked access to the common kitchen in the restaurant downstairs to make your own breakfast etc., if you have an early start. Keurig machine is available but for some reason only tea pods were the ones available.

This was probably my favorite accommodation I have ever stayed at! Its so charming and eclectic, while also being very clean and comfortable. My partner and I brought our dog and she had a great time wandering the common spaces and meeting the house dog, Ivy! The old movie theater in the basement is awesome - streaming apps logged in so you can go ahead and watch Netflix in the coolest place you every will! Checkin / out was easy and everyone was super friendly. Access to kitchen was a huge plus since we were camping before and after our stay.
