The Hotel Telluride

Style, location, comfort

Noise. I know the road construction is not on the hotel, but the sounds of people pounding around on the floor and dogs barking was annoying at times.

Location great, encouraged a lot of walking! Our room was on the ground floor. It was pretty quiet. Clean large and comfortable room. Coffee ‘on tap’ was a nice touch. All the staff we met in Reception or throughout the hotel were very pleasant. Hot-tubs were great. Parking garage easily accessible with large spaces.

A little dated. Bathroom floor tiles grouting started to crumble.

The hotel was beautiful, with a very welcoming vaulted lobby with fireplace and comfortable chairs and couches, complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate. Beautiful setting amongst the mountains and trees, toward the beginning of town but easily walkable to the historic downtown. They offer their own complimentary shuttle. The deco looks like an old historic elegant hotel. Our room was beautiful and spacious with view of mountains and a balcony. Staff was very accommodating.

Limited underground parking. Quite tight if you have a large vehicle. I was able to park a Silverado 4x4 though.

Great location. Early check-in at 2 pm was available.

The Hotel advertises that it can't guarantee a parking space will be available for every vehicle (fair enough). However, they don't disclose (until check-in) that the only alternative to Hotel parking is STREET PARKING IN A PERMIT-RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL AREA around the hotel with a 2-HOUR TIME LIMIT ENFORCED BY CITATION AND TOWING. If you have a larger pick-up, SUV or RV, it's worse, as the hotel provides only TWO (2) spaces on-property for larger vehicles-- thus it's highly likely you won't secure an on-property space (as was our experience). Thus, to park our pick-up we needed to: (1) compete with local residents to find a parking spot; (2) monitor and move our vehicle at least every 2 hours from 8 am to 6 pm; or (3) risk a citation/fine and towing (see photo of enforcement posting). I witnessed several shiny new parking enforcement vehicles circling the area and the City appeared serious about enforcement. For $600/night we expected better parking accommodation. Knowing this situation in advance, we would have NOT chosen this property.
