LOCATION, just 1.5 blocks to gondola, close enough to run back for lunch. AMENITIES, packed into a small lot there was an adequate breakfast, small hot tub, and a wonderful fire pit with great views of the slopes in late afternoon to see final skiers (boarders)coming down. EASY walking access to downtown, one block, full of great restaurants, that fit everyone's taste and budget.
I saw complaints about age and price, our single queen room was LARGER than we expected, good for all our gear. The staff worked diligently to keep up with housekeeping and maintenance. In a town like Telluride I am sure it is hard to find any staff that can afford to live there or are willing to drive 1.5 hours to get to work. COST, yes it is expensive, I don't ususally stay in $300 pn hotels, but I knew this was the best deal around ( the hostel 16 miles away topped $250 pn for a private room and that was close to nothing) Telluride is an exclusive resort, it is surprising the Victorian Inn has not been bought out to be a boutique hotel, then we'd have no-where to stay, b/c there are no Holiday Inn's close by, nor the land to build em.
My only complaint was being a dog friendly hotel, we walked into our room one night and the mustly smell of dog was very strong and overwhelming.
