Telluride: Economical lodging & ticket suggestions?
I'm thinking of taking my son (12) to Telluride in mid-March (his
spring break). Does anybody have any suggestions for no-frills (aka cheap) lodging in the area? I've found a couple of motel/hostel places in Norwood & Ouray, but that's quite a distance and it would be nice to actually be in town. I also noticed that these places say they can offer a substantial discount on lift tickets that the places in town don't mention -- What's going on there? Any suggestions/information would be much appreciated. Thanks, Giles |

The glitzy hotels are on the other side of the mountain out of the city limits. So in town its mostly limited to converted condos, B&B's and a few old hotels. I do not know of any cheap motels in town. College spring break is also a peak season period for any ski area. Discounts are given to hotels outside of town as a way to get people to stay there. The lack of much lodging in town means they do not have to discount much. However, during off season times there are package deals to be found that are very reasonable in town. I usually stay at the Jonestown Inn B&B. Off season it was $150 per night for 2 people with lift tickets and breakfast. |
Being in town is worth the premimun.
