We drove to Telluride after a horrible stay in Silverton. We went right to the visitor's center, which was a huge help 2 years ago. They recommended this hotel, and gave us a special rate. We got there to find way more than we expected. Everything was clean and comfortable. It is right next to another hotel, but from our patio, we could see gorgeous mountain views. Our room had a jacuzzi tub and everything was spotless in the bathroom-which is very important. The staff were all exceptionally nice, and the restaurant on site, 9545, was amazing!!! It was a short walk to the gondola-and I recommend riding this at night to experience the lights of Telluride from Mountain village! The leaves were all changing, and it even snowed a little while we were there! It was a gorgeous hotel in a gorgeous town! After the experience in Silverton with the Grand Imperial hotel-this was well worth the price!

A splendid and memorable stay at one of the most charming Inns in the Rockies.

Service is personal and not too formal...just the way I like it. Just about every guest I met remarked on the warm and friendly staff.

The location is absolutely unbeatable, steps away from the slopes and Gondola, which provides complimentary transportation over to Telluride...and the views aren't bad either.

9545, the Inn's three meal restaurant, is worth the trip on its own. Casual, yet refined, a great wine list and again, the service makes it special. Try the chili and 9545 burger...best in town guaranteed.

The accommodations are top-notch...every room feels like a home. But, the attentive staff really makes the experience...far and away the best in Telluride.

My fiancee and I stayed at the Inn in late June for a weekend getaway from Denver. This was our first time to Telluride and the wonderful staff and world class accomodations were outstanding. The guest room we had had views of the ski area and the gondola that gets you around the Mountain Village. The rooms were very comfortable and the amenities were better than we had expected! Flat screen tv's, rooftop jacuzzis, and a free car wash upon checkout! What more could you want?? If you are planning a trip to the best part of Colorado, don't miss out on this little gem of a hotel in the heart of the San Juan Mountains!

Guided by pictures ( and upper level pricing..) we had expected a somewhat private/secluded site for this hotel, with great views over the mountains. What we got instead was a hotel right next to other buildings, tightly crammed into a loop drive, with construction going on all around. Our 1 bedroom residence didn't offer any views of the mountains, but of the entrance driveway with the construction crane. Our non refundable, fully charged reservation was from over 4 weeks before. Was there no better room available?
Upon entering the lobby , the young woman behind the desk only asked for our credit card, to put a $100 authorization for "incidentals" on to. That set the tone for our entire stay there: No friendly welcome, no sense of hospitality , just a few, hard to understand, foreign born employees, who, if not performing a minimal service for tips, seemed bored and uninterested in the welfare of the guests.
We understand that the property is being converted into condominiums, so apparently nobody cares anymore.
Glad we acted on another tripadvisor member's suggestion to park the car ourselves, and to thus save a $20 valet parking fee per day.
The bedroom residence itself was adequate, but not what I'd expect a 4 star property to be: the layout/floorplan was fairly tight, low ceilings, the queen sized bed had a rather spongy/ soft mattress, and the overall decor was in no way artistic or sophisticated, but looked a little outdated, borderline "cheap".
Even though lodging in Telluride is on the expensive side, to pay $239 per night (comes to 277 with fees and taxes) at the Inn just didn't seem like a good value. There is too much fluctuation in the price on these units for my liking: it will sell in late October for 138 per night , but then rise up to $725 ( !!) per night for the days over Christmas . Are they serious??
Next time, I'll stay in Telluride proper, probably at the Columbia. Heard consistently good things about it from people who stayed there.
