Superb location, just down the street from the Gondola and the Cosmopolitan Restaurant. Our room had a balcony overlooking the stream, the mountains, and the chair lifts. Inside, the room had huge bathrooms, a nice seating area, and a sleek wet bar. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was nicely done. I would highly recommend!

This was my first trip to Telluride and it will not be my last. I was very impressed with the Ice House and it's sister property Camel Garden as well. My 14 year old son and I spent our spring break here and it was absolutely perfect. By the time you leave your room it is probably 75 yards to chair 8 and/or the gondola. I never did eat the continental breakfast because right down the street was Baked in Telluride which has wonderful donuts and breakfast pasteries. The rooms were very comfortable and equipped with plasma tv's, nice bathrooms, and the heat and air worked great as well.
We loved the convience to main street and all the wonderful restaurants in town. This is a great town, and this mountain has some of the best runs in Colorado, very, very steep terrain. If you want ski in/ ski out accommodations Camel Garden is the place but like I said Ice House is a short walk to the lifts. I could go on and on about this place but I won't. I can sum it up to this, when I book my next trip to Telluride I will compare Camel Garden to Ice House and if I can save $50 a night by staying at Ice House that's where I will be and if I can't I will stay at Camel Garden.

I do agree that finding the front desk could be hard since when you walk inot the property it appears you are walking into the enterence to the garge. But the front desk was helpful and very quick to assist you. The room, we had a single was small, but it was clean and updated. Maid service was great, they had the room done by 10:30 a.m. every day. The "free" breakfest was not bad. The muffins and bagles were great and must have been made by a local bakery. The internet service was done while we were there, but once it was fixed it also worked well. The location is great-- a short distance from the gondola which takes you up to the mountain. The ski lockers located at the front enterence can be small if you have a group of 4 or more.

The staff was great and Rico at the bar was very helpful. It is a very casual hotel and not five star but it is above average.

The Ice House and it's sister property, Camel Garden definitely offer the best location in Telluride.

I have stayed at both and recommend either, although, the location of Camel Garden is a little better.

The room I had at Ice House, 305, although next to elevator, was nicely appointed and would be fine for family with a young child. It had a pull-out couch, nice wall mounted flat screen, and great bathroom.

If you want to be in "town" then the Ice House is a great option.
