I loved my stay at the New Sheridan. The breakfasts were amazing... the snacks in the late afternoon... the location... the public areas... it was great! I just didn't like the noise... and that overall the rooms were a bit smaller than I'm accustomed to. But, overall, I really enjoyed my time here. I would definitely stay here again... mostly because of how much I enjoyed the facilities, the food provided, the location and the price/value. i have no complaints, other than the noise... and the size of the rooms being a bit smaller than what I'm accustomed to. A great place!

We stayed there for a ski trip in Febuary 2007. And found it to be Excellent in almost every detail for such a historic hotel. We did have to share bathroms but that was much less a problem than expected. Must have free breakfast ours was Outstanding.
We have been to Telluride numerous times and this was less comercial than the other places we stayed. If too concerned with a little noise go to someplace in Mtn Village. We love the Lodge at mtn Village,But you will be using the Gondola a lot. Also the Bar at the New Sheridan is my favorite and oldest in town. Patron Margarita's

My husband and I recently finished an 11 day tour of Colorado, and Telluride was early in our circuit. We read all of the reviews and then called the hotel to request a room in the back. No luck - not 10 days before our arrival nor on our arrival. They staff did say repeatedly though that since we were on the third floor and not directly over the bar, we should not have a problem with noise. Not true; just as others have mentioned, the drunks came out after 11:00 and began hollering up and down the streets. We felt like we were truly in an old west town, just without the guns firing. Perhaps, this wouldn't have been a big deal if we could have comfortably kept our windows closed, but with no air conditioning, and on the third floor, we were left choosing the lesser of two evils. Other than the noise, the hotel is perfect. The central location is great. The decor is charming and breakfast was wonderful. Overall, I am glad that we stayed in this historic hotel, but I am especially happy that it was for only one night. We moved on to a wonderful night's sleep at the Double Tree in Durango.

We spent a week here. Positives: Many. . . great location close to ski lifts, restaurants and shopping; friendly, helpful staff; charming, historic inn; clean, large room; free breakfast (including a fresh cooked option); hot drinks, cookies and fruit available throughout the day; reasonably priced compared to other places in Telluride. Negatives: bathroom small and in need of updating; NOISE FROM THE STREET AT NIGHT. Having read the reviews on TripAdvisor, we requested and were told that our room was in a quiet location (on the side of the building) but we were still woken multiple times on 3 or 4 nights from midnight to 2am by several people hanging around outside our window (and we wore earplugs!). Unfortunately, the noisy location outweighs the many positives and we won't stay here again. PS -- Our meal at the Chophouse was not one of the best. For better food and value, check out Rustico, La Marmotte or Cosmopolitan.
