"Location, location, location! This hotel is steps away from the Telluride Gondola and right next to the beautiful riverwalk. Waking up to those breathtaking balcony views was a highlight of the trip. Everything inside is spotless and extremely well-maintained. It’s definitely an investment, but given how pricey Telluride can be, the overall value is still totally worth it."

8/10 Good
"The property boasts a fantastic, tranquil location right on the banks of the river. The beautifully landscaped lawn features relaxing benches surrounded by charming flowers and creepers, creating a deeply comforting and nature-friendly atmosphere. However, there are a few areas for improvement: the bathroom is quite cramped and lacks adequate space for comfortable bath arrangements, and the air conditioning setup could use an upgrade for better climate control."
