Adobe Inn

Adobe Inn

8/10 Good
"Very friendly staff. Convenient walking away from old town. Small standard room - must open for all the way to get into room due to how close bed is to door. Fridge is large for a mini fridge and has small freezer space. Large soaker tub with rainfall shower. Room 209 is right in the street and there is a lot of street noise. Good value for one night."

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Mountain Lodge in Telluride! The mountain setting was absolutely beautiful, especially with the fall colors at their peak. The lodge had a cozy mountain feel and was a great place to relax after spending our days exploring Telluride and the surrounding area. We also enjoyed the convenience of being in Mountain Village and having easy access to the gondola. The scenery was breathtaking, and it was such a memorable part of our Colorado vacation. We would definitely stay here again! Dinner was also amazing, highly suggest the elk bolognese and rainbow trout!"
