The Inn at Lost Creek has been a "flag ship" hotel with the creation of Mountain Village. The facility is plush and has a great location for skiing that is close to the Mountain Express and Meadow lifts, while being accessible to the village and Gondola. The free Gondola network provides access to Telluride and its restaurants or the Meadow markets. The car became unnecessary during our stay. Upon entry the staff took our bags to our room, our skis to the ski valet and parked our car in the underground garage.

We lodged at the Inn six years prior and the financial wows...a public foreclosure that threatened the ski season a couple of years prior...are not readily apparent in most respects. A positive is that bargains can be obtained by prepayment of rooms months in advance of the ski season though 3rd party booking agents. We stayed in a one bedroom deluxe suite that was roomy, well appointed with great views of the mountain and village. Deferred maintenance of the facility is slightly visible...admittedly I was looking for it. The staff seemed less skilled and experienced then in prior years. The "captive" restaurant, 9545 was a weak and expensive option for breakfast and is no longer open for dinner. We never visited the on site bar as it was not open at 8PM when we were interested in an after dinner cocktail upon our return from a Telluride restaurant.

We will likely return to the Inn at Lost Creek in a future ski trip to Telluride, if we are able to get advance booking values. The convenience of the location and the core facility is too plush to ignore.

We have stayed at the Inn at Lost Creek three times because it is comfortable and convenient. Upon arrival, we are greeted by friendly staff who take our bags, deliver our skis to the ski valet and park the car in the underground garage - it is not needed for the rest of our stay! Each room in which we have stayed has a fully-stocked kitchen, TVs, one bedroom, and bathroom with steam shower and jacuzzi tub. We have enjoyed the rooftop hot tubs but they were closed on our last visit, apparently due to lack of disability access. An unfortunate discovery on our last visit was that the snowcats come down from grooming the slopes through the night, and in our room on the gondola side of the hotel, we were frequently wakened by their beeping. But the reason we keep coming back is the location - each morning our skis are right outside the door, ready to clip in and ski down to two lifts, and an easy ski back at the end of the day. Après ski, a short walk down the hill to the gondola station takes us over the mountain to Telluride and its several great restaurants. Telluride is a special place, and the Inn at Lost Creek makes us feel right at home.

Inn at Lost Creek in in the Alpine Village on Telluride Mountain. The position is fantastic, being close to lifts and gondola, restaurants and shops.
The Hotel is plush, the rooms comfortable. We rented a single bedroom unit, it was small but it didn't matter as everything else made up for that. The roof top open air jacuzzi is great with views of the alpine Village.
The hotel is close enough to the gondola that catching it down to the old town of Telluride for dinner or shopping is easy and a fun way to go out for dinner.

The only thing that went wrong during our stay was that the check in staff did not inform me that they were holding $310.00 from my credit card for the three nights as a security if I used anything in the hotel. It took 15 days to get the money credited back.

this is right at one of the primary lifts to get up the mountain and ski. they have a valet there for skis and poles -- you get to drop off when you are done and pick up the next day. no worries, they secure all of it and you don't have to haul them around. the only negative was they did not have an onsite restaurant for dinner -- you have to go out, and sometimes after skiing all day, it's just nicer to ring for room service, or to go down in your slippers for dinner. there are nearby restaurants which are very good. i would have given an excellent rating, except for this issue. staff on the desk is wonderful -- it seems as if it is important to them that you have a good trip!!!
