Having read the other reviews, I booked the Inn with a little trepidation, but being President's Day weekend all other accommodation was much more expensive anywhere else in Telluride.

Well it was a very pleasant surprise, location was excellent (one block from the FREE gondola, one block from Main Street, lots of shopping and restaurants nearby). There are only a limited number of parking spaces behind the Inn but if you find a space on the street then the Inn will provide you a free street parking pass.

The breakfast was good - yoghurt, hot rolls, oatmeal, juice, coffee, hot chocolate etc. There are microwaves in the breakfast area that the staff let us use at other times of the day to heat water or food.

The room was fairly tight but ample for two people. It wouldn't be so good if you had young children as the flex from wiring was loosely tacked around the walls, right down to floor level in some cases. The room had a small fridge and the washbasin was in the main living area, separate from the small bathroom.

Yes the wooden boards running around the inn are noisy with ski boots but that's only for the time people are leaving in the morning and returning in the late afternoon. We didn't use the spa or sauna but they looked in good condition. The tax on the room was 16% but having not stayed in Telluride before we didn't know if this differs from elsewhere, but it does add a reasonable amount to the advertised rate.

If you like having rooms so hot at night (even with the thermostat turned all the way down) you wake up sweating, and loud walking all day and night on the wooden walkways outside, then you'll love this place! We had to sleep at night with the windows open to make the room bearable (now remember, this is in January)! We were told it must be the heat from the rooms underneath us making it so uncomfortable (we were on the 2nd floor). We talked to other guests and they complained their room were too hot also.
The walkways encircling the rooms are wooden planks and every step anyone took on them, you could hear all over the hotel. Especially when they were walking with ski boots on, it was extremely loud. We didn't have 1 nights sleep that was we weren't woken up several times during the night by this disturbance.
The rooms were so-so. I expected a little nicer room for the price we were charged. Just 2 beds, a little bathroom area, and small bathroom. The refrigerator in the room is extrememly small. When trying to dry my hair, the blowdryer worked for 2 minutes before going out.
The "free" breakfast was sparse in selection and volume for the amount of people staying there. They only have 2 to 3 tables in a very small lobby that everyone tries to fit into. Most people just took back whatever they could get back to their rooms since there wasn't anywhere to sit.
The night clerk was extremely nice and I am sorry I didn't get his name. He was the only bright spot during our stay there. Needless to say we were very disappointed with our stay there.

We stayed at the Victorian Inn in late August. Although the $89 per night rate was probably fair for the town, the inn is too noisy. It's located at an intersection, with one of the streets a hill. Much of the night was spent listening to vehicles accelerate as they went up the hill or brake as they descended. There was also construction in the next lot, and the workers started much earlier than anyone at the inn would have liked. The wooden "boardwalk" also produces noise when people walk on it with hard-soled shoes.If you should choose to stay at the inn, be sure to ask for a quiet room. There must be at least one!Breakfast is provided, but the selection is limited --cookies and sweet roles plus coffee and juice.
