Montana Placer Inn, Telluride

We didn't know what to expect when booking the Montana Placer or Telluride. We hadn't been to either. What an amazing choice!! We arrived to see how beautiful Telluride was. People are friendly and happy and it isn't busy or crowded at all which is what we expected. Check in couldn't have been easier! We got our parking pass and were off to our room at the Placer. We pulled up and street parking was a breeze! The Montana Placer looked pretty on the outside but we weren't sure what to expect once we stepped inside. To our excitment the room was amazing!! It was larger then we expected with an adorable balcony! We had beautiful mountain views to the left and right of the balcony and up above! (straight ahead is a wall but all you have to do is turn your head and you can see amazing views!) The view from the large window behind the bed was even better! Huge catherdral ceilings. The floors are heated which is wonderful especially in the bathroom! The gas fireplace is such a special feature too. The bathroom was huge and so pretty with his & her sinks! The bed was big and comfortable as were the linens. The towels were plentiful and didn't have the musty hotel smell at all! No tacky decor, everything was simple and stylish. We slept great and the best part was the hottub! Clean and right downstairs! We loved it after a hard day of skiing. The only thing about this room is it is up a flight of stairs and the bathroom is a 2-step down room so if you can't handle stairs, then choose rooms 1 or 2, not 3 or 4. We loved room #3! The Placer is located about a 1/2 block from the Gondala & Lift 7! How wonderful to just walk about 50 feet, buy your tickets and jump right on! The Gondola is free and taked you up the mountain and to Mountain Village which is a fun spot for dinner and drinks! The Gondola is open until midnight too! The perfect place! I hope it is there when we come back next! We will stay at the Montana Placer for sure. Also 221 Oak Street is across the street and is a fantastic place to eat! There are so many others just a quick walk away! Thank you!! We can't wait to come back! The value was great and the stay was perfect!!! if you are looking for a 5 star resort with a big lobby and people at every corner - this isn't the place for you. If you want a relaxing stay with no lobby, no people and a simple in and out room that is clean and comfortable - this is the best place around!
