Jasmine and I were expecting a weekend of comfort. We were greeted with a personalized experience we never could have imagined. The owner of this establishment - Ray - treated us like family. If I could give this establishment ten stars, I would. Everyone, from the hosts, to the bartenders, to the servers, to the housekeeping staff - everything was perfect. These are people that care about their guests. They care, and it shows. If you stay at this beautiful hotel, you will never want to stay anywhere else in Telluride. My gratitude and my appreciation know no bounds. Ray and his entire staff deserve your business, my business, and all of the business that comes their way. I cannot possibly say enough great things. And that isn't even to mention the gorgeous rooms that await their guests!! The rooms are amazing!! I'd give Ray and the New Sheridan 10 stars if I could. Thank you, thank you, thank you for one of the greatest weekends of our lives.

We enjoyed our stay at the New Sheridan Hotel overall. The location is fantastic--right in the…read moreheart of downtown Telluride and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the gondola. The hotel itself is charming, the room was very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel is also pet friendly, which was a big plus for us traveling with our dog. The room was a little on the small side, but our biggest complaint was the lack of air conditioning. We understand it's a historic building, but the room did get warm. The hotel recommends opening the windows, but we were surprised they didn't have screens, so that wasn't an ideal solution. Parking is free, but there isn't a dedicated hotel parking lot. You'll need to park on a designated nearby block. The hotel does have a convenient unloading area in front, which made getting our luggage in and out much easier. One thing that was a little confusing when we arrived is that there are three separate entrances--one for the restaurant, one for the hotel, and one for the rooftop bar. We also found it a bit unusual that you walk through the restaurant to reach the hotel hostess/check-in area, but everyone was very friendly and happy to help. We also appreciated the complimentary coffee in the morning, which was a nice touch before heading out for the day. Overall, it's a charming historic hotel with an unbeatable location, friendly staff, and a pet-friendly atmosphere. If you don't mind the lack of air conditioning and a few quirks that come with an older building, it's a great place to stay in Telluride.

The private rooms are awesome if you're not a thru hiker... AND if you are! The people (and dog)…read morewho own it/run it are super friendly. If you don't like dogs, just be aware that a very calm and sweet dog walks the halls freely to ensure guests are comfortable and happy with their stay. The bar/kitchen is open use for guests to use and there's a hiker box behind the bar. (They do not serve or sell, in other words, plenty of other places nearby for that if you want!) The Avon is within walking distance (lol) of everything you need in Silverton. Would definitely stay here again, whether I'm hiking in or driving in to visit Silverton.

Unfortunately, we left disappointed with our stay. We paid nearly $300 for our room, and while…read morechecking in, we overheard rooms being offered in the $145-$180 range. More specifically, we heard what was described as "the best room in the place" offered to the gentleman checking in directly before us for $182. For nearly $300 a night, we expected a much better experience. Our toilet was also clogged, which certainly didn't help. I reached out to the hotel directly before posting a review because, as locals, I wanted to give them an opportunity to address our concerns. The response explained dynamic pricing and that rooms can range from $49-$385, depending on the room and time of year. I completely understand how dynamic pricing works, but that explanation didn't really address why we had just paid nearly $300 while hearing "the best room in the place" offered for $182 during the same check-in period. I was also disappointed that the clogged toilet was characterized as something that was "easy to miss by housekeeping." At this price point, a functioning bathroom feels like a pretty basic expectation. We really wanted to like this place and hoped, as locals, it could be somewhere we would return to or recommend to others. Unfortunately, between the price, the room issue, and the response to our concerns, the overall experience left us feeling like the value simply wasn't there.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Camels Garden recently. The location literally CANNOT BE BEAT!…read moreRight at the base of the gondola is so prime. Also their underground parking lot makes getting from the car to your room a breeze. The room was massive and as was the bathroom. My favorite part though was the balcony. So delightful to sit out there and be right at the base of the mountain. The continental breakfast had super fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits and homemade cinnamon rolls. Would be spending $30+ per person for breakfast anywhere else so it's a winner. I can't wait to be back and try one of their condos with some friends :)

We had an excellent stay at the Camel's Garden Hotel…read more While it is an older hotel, you can't beat the location. It is located right next to the gondola. It does appear they may have renovated the downstairs common area. There is plenty of lounge seating, a fireplace and light oks like you can host a small gathering. We walked in and the front desk clerk who worked Wednesday was very friendly and even walked the luggage cart down to the garage for us. There is an underground garage that has shared space with the hotel condos. But it is $20 a day to park. I'm not sure if there is an alternative space outside to park overnight. The king room was very spacious and has a fireplace. Our friends stayed in the queen size room which was much smaller and no fireplace. There is plenty of seating in the room and has a large bathroom, wardrobe closet, 2 dressers and dining table. There is a large tv but unfortunately the WiFi is a bit sketchy so we could watch much tv. We even had a small balcony. The bed was very comfortable. Pillows not so much. Plenty of linens. There is a ski valet which is open from 8:30am to 4:30pm which is so nice to have available. We came down the hill late one afternoon and left our equipment outside the valet room. They were safe and sound inside the valet the next day. We had the nicest ski valets taking care of us, Jake and Miller. The hotel provides a free continental breakfast from 7:30am to 9:30am. Bagels & salmon, toast, fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee. The breakfast staff were very friendly. There is a nice pool and jacuzzi with views. A bar/restaurant is attached to the hotel which is convenient. Clearly a locals favorite. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Telluride.

But my man lives in Telluride and my friend Sheri wanted to go to the festival. I didn't expect much and I was very impressed. Mellow bands, mellow crowds. I expected food and drinks to be overpriced but actually everything was extremely reasonable. The best deal was the wine tent where I bought a huge cup of wine for $10 and refills were $8. They were very generous pours. I also had the best grilled fish taco ever woooot. Side of guac, black bean corn salsa. Oh yeah!!! One day of the festival was definitely enough for me. Steve Winwood was the final performer last night and was amazing. Day passes were $70 which is fair. Overall a very pleasant experience with great music and gorgeous breathtaking mountain scenery.

Think today's stars (Chris Thiele & Co, Della Mae, Steeldrivers, etc), as well as classics (Del, Sam Bush, etc). Something for everyone really. The festival itself is set in the beautiful town of Telluride which is down in a valley. We stayed on the other side of the mountain and took the gondola into town every day for the fest. This in itself was an incredible experience, especially late night riding back with strangers who are your new friends! The festival is well organized. Acts start on time. There are tons of vendors. When I went, the festival was sponsored by New Belgium brewing. For about $10 you could buy a reusable Kleen Kanteen cup and get $4 beer refills all weekend. The town of telluride was very welcoming. Most of the bands play shows around town all weekend, including a free show at the farmer's market. There are lots of great restaurants to check out in town, and even a brewery!

We stopped by the New Sheridan Rooftop Bar for a cocktail before sunset, and it was a nice place to…read morerelax. The rooftop offers a pretty view of the mountains and is a great spot to unwind. They have a full bar, so there are plenty of cocktail options, along with a limited food menu. It is not pet friendly, so keep that in mind if you're traveling with your dog. Drinks are on the pricier side, but that's fairly typical for a rooftop bar in Telluride. We chose to sit on the couches, which were much more comfortable than the standard chairs. The staff was friendly and attentive, checking on us periodically without being overbearing. Overall, it's a nice spot to enjoy the views and a drink before heading to dinner or watching the sunset.

We were in town for an event that included dinner but we ended up bailing on that and based on the recommendation of the bartender at the Imogene Hotel we ended up here. They have a small dining room that apparently is almost always booked out so we ate at the bar. Really nothing negative to say. Service was prompt and friendly and we enjoyed our conversations with the hostess that seated us and our servers. They offer chef specials for a starter (salad) and for multiple entrees. They also offer a daily special cocktail. The food was solid and the presentations were really well done. I posted our salad courses to show how they handle it. The wife had the on menu ember roasted beet and apple salad. While the apples were scant the overall flavor was fantastic and the local goat cheese had tremendous punch. The salad was perfectly dressed with a lemon vinaigrette. I went with the off menu local tomato and cucumber salad which also included feta, dill, a red wine vinegar dressing and some zaatar seasoning. Again a solid dish, pretty to look at and great tasting. I went with chef special of venison stew. Again, perfectly cooked, the venison fork tender, the vegetables being cooked al dente and the broth being so good I wanted order a cup and just drink it up. We love bolognese and make it at home all the time. the on menu version used just lamb for the protein which (to us) was a bit unusual as you will usually see them with multiple meats. Suffice it to say, this did not need it. The flavor was out of this world fantastic, the rigatoni was cooked perfectly and the freshly grated parmesan was the perfect touch to enhance the overall flavor. Score this a solid 10 - when we return Ouary we will be back to eat here and may even try the hotel out.
