Had a great room - comfortable, clean, nice view; one bedroom deluxe suite. It had been a few years since we'd been to the Inn, having stayed at the Peaks and more recently, The Madeline. We drove and arrived at the front entrance only to have a guy come out, look at us dumbfounded, asked if were checking in, and then reluctantly ask if we wanted help with our bags. He loaded our cart while we checked in, wheeled the cart into the lobby, and then asked if we wanted help upstairs. Yes I did, and he looked more than disappointed to help us. Anyway, the ladies at the front desk was nice when we checked in, but not quite friendly after that. Perhaps it was the lack of snow - I'll chalk it up to that. Then we went downstairs to Christies. Again, they couldn't be bothered; no excitement, no enthusiasm. The best service we had was from the bartender, the waiter in the resaturant (Randall) for breakfast (what a terrific guy), and the handyman/maintenance man who we had to call for the dryer. Other than that, it just seemed like the staff was going through the motions. Perhaps we're spoiled by the Peaks and the Madeline. Then we went to visit Lumiere - that is definitely where we'll stay next time; they could not have been nicer. I have very fond memories of Inn at Lost Creek - but they are not from this trip.

If you want a comfortable friendly hotel with the best ski in ski out facility in the resort. Go no further than this charming hotel.
All the staff were super friendly and go out of their way to ensure your stay is top notch. The hotel is a little quirky,the rooms are small but extremely comfortable,although putting the room safe on the floor in a back cupboard meant you had to get on your hands and knees to operate. Finally gave up. Log fire in your room and a very comfortable bed complimented the jacuzzi ( instruction please) and the steam shower. By the way the small in room kitchen facility was very handy and the in room coffee exceptional.
Don't rely on the small restaurant for anything but basic food,there are plenty better in the resort.
Would we return , you bet.

Stayed at The Inn at Lost Creek right after Christmas with husband and 2 kids. This was our first time to Telluride and my first time to Colorado. The inn is located in probably the best location for ski-in ski-out in Telluride (actually Mountain Village, which is halfway up the mountain in the ski village). There are other hotels in the middle of the village but for us this was really the only one that you could ski right from the door of the hotel to the lift - this was the BEST thing about the hotel.

We arrived on a very cold, snowy day after driving about 3 hours from Grand Junction. We were ready for a little pampering at this place and were really surprised when we pulled up to the door. We thought maybe we had pulled up to the wrong door. Nobody outside to greet us, no open door, we couldn't even see a sign. We got out of the car and walked into the understated lobby. No valet/bellman anywhere. The front desk staff, while not unpleasant where a little, how shall I say this, low key. We went straight up to check out our room. We had booked a smaller suite with a living space and knew not to expect anything too big. We were really happy to see that we had a corner suite with views and french doors on two sides. GREAT VIEWS!! The Gondola went right by our window. This sounds like a privacy nightmare - and I like privacy - but it was not a problem and the kids loved it. THe decor was nice, room was laid out well. there were 2 doors to the bathroom which was handy. There was a kitchen but it was super tiny - more for heating things up than cooking.

Ski- rentals: THis is the great part! The ski shop is on the lower level of the hotel. We rented all our stuff for the next day and it was super easy. Everything was kept in the ski valet closet for us the next morning. Loved this!

The hotel has very few options in the way of dining. There is a tiny bar area. Good for a quick cocktail but lacking in atmosphere. I did have one of the best gin gimlets I've ever had there however. It was delicious. The restaurant: Where to start? Decor -absolutely dreadful. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant. IT feels like a cafeteria. The night we were there we saw a party come in that had made reservations. They took one look around and left. This is not the staffs fault. It's the designers. Next - the service. there was a lot of earnest effort made by some employees and absolute cluelessness by others. No silverware, slow, slow meal delivery, meals delivered at different times. On top of this, the food was barely above acceptable. It was our worst meal in Telluride. We ordered appetizers only however.
The room was comfortable, but a little stuffy -actually I made sure the heat was turned off and cracked open a french door at night - and it was -4degrees at night.The convenience was great but the hotel just didn't feel special enough for the price. I would probably book elsewhere next time.

This is a wonderful hotel to get away from it all and relax. The staff are vey friendly and responsive. My room was very comfortable with a super comfy bed and fireplace. The bathroom has double sinks and a way cool steam feature in the shower. The hotel has a ski valet for a great ski in and out experience. The location is great and is within walking distance to several good restaurants. There is a restaurant in the hotel that we had breakfast at but I thought that it was a bit over priced. The hotel has access to a sister hotel's indoor pool. The hotel does have two rooftop hot tubs that an be reserved for an apes ski soak. Had a great time!
