Perfect location right next to the gondola. Not a 'quaint' or 'beautiful' building but makes up for it in convenience, cleanliness, and service. We've stayed at several places in Telluride, this one twice, and it's our favorite primarily because it's got everything you need within a block or two - gondola, trails, river, store, many many restaurants, hot tub, bike and boat rental, etc. If I could make one suggestion it would be to expand the breakfast options. After two days the cereal/yogurt/bagels is...okay...but eggs, bacon, omelettes, waffles, or some other variety would go far in enhancing the experience. Oh yeah, the place is dog-friendly which is really great and apparently not common in Telluride.
