We stayed at the Telluride Mountain Lodge for 5 days over Christmas in 2007. We were quite pleased with the property and the service we received from the staff. The lodge was extremely busy, however the staff ensured fast check in and immediate attention to any of our requests. The one bedroom studio was perfect for our party of 3. It was cozy, yet roomy enough for all of us to be comfortable. We'll definitely stay here again. Ski in/Ski out ammenities are excellent. Great Location.

Nice physical amenities, with very comfortable lobby. That's a good thing, since you may spend a lot of time there. We waited nearly FOUR HOURS for our room to be ready. Check-in was 4pm, and we didn't get our room keys until just before 8pm.

The front desk was unwilling to do anything to compensate us for the inconvenience (not even a free drink in the lobby bar), and the cleaning staff left the previous guests' perishable (and rapidly perishing) food in the refrigerator.

Unfortunately, this experience ruined what could have been a pleasant stay. If you reserve a room here, pray that they're not busy.

We LOVED the Mountain Lodge (January 2006). We had a suite I suppose - sitting area separated from sleeping area by a 2-way fireplace, large bathroom and a kitchenette. A nice little balcony (though it was freezing outside) with a view of the slopes and ski-in/ski-out access. We rented our skis on-site, and it was so nice to be able to stop back at the room to add or remove layers, grab a quick snack, etc. The town gondola was such a great way to get around, we did not need a car at all. My only complaint is that the Great Room bar was out of Fat Tire! Loved Telluride, loved the Mountain Lodge, we will definitely be back.

Our family of 4 checked into the Mountain Lodge on a Sat. afternoon. I had called about a week earlier to see about upgrading our room and was told that there were plenty of rooms available and that i should just wait until i arrive so that i could just "have my pick of rooms". So i did. Only to arrive and to be told that they were sold out and would not be able to upgrade my room due to the Bob Dylan concert in town. Shouldn't they have known that would happen and let me upgrade when i called?? So they stuck us in a room that they called a condo but was so small that we could hardly function in! I had asked for a mountain veiw but was given a room at the end of the hall with a view of the electrical box for the building and a rock wall. I chose the Mountain Lodge first of all because it was "pet friendly" ..I called the Lodge directly to make my reservation and told them i had a dog and was never told about a "pet friendly fee".So when i was sitting in my room one afternoon and the phone rang.....answered and the "not so friendly" lady at the front desk says,"We would like you to know that housekeeping told us that you have and pet and we want you to know that there is a $50 per night fees for pets and we will be putting that fee on your bill." A day went by and my husband talked them down to 1/2 of that fee. FYI...Hilton Hotels don't even charge for pets!! Also, when we checked in we were told that there was no parking available ....all of the $20 per night spots were taken and that we could use the Valet if we wanted to...our car would be taken far away to that lot...We decided on the free parking that was about a mile away...which was a beautiful walk...if the weather was nice....which it usually is.The picture of the pool on the website looks so beautiful....IT IS TINY!!! And always so crowded that we never went for a swim.
One night we decided to go to the "tavern" located in the lobby of the hotel.....the "tavern" had 3 beers on tap....one red wine...one white wine...and one white zin...yuk!! Don't bother! But the stand in bartender was nice and gave us some good info on the town...all in all i would pick another place to stay....the staff was sooo unfriendly and rude...A few exceptions ...the driver of the bus that will take you to the gondola was nice. So was the bartender...Telluride is fun...The free gondola was great and close to the hotel...thats it.. Have fun in Telluride tho...fun town..lots to do..
