Bare minimum kind of place that makes you feel like you're putting them out to do their job. A legitimate breakfast is supposed to be included in the nearly $300/night rate I paid to stay here. It was nothing more than a bag of bagels and some cereal. I stayed Last year during the coronavirus peak and the breakfast was 3x as good.

They first tried doing the "due to Covid" BS excuse then backpedaled saying there are hardly any guests staying here this week so they stripped down the breakfast.

So just because it's a slow time you treat the people who do pay to stay with you

Stayed here for one night Summer of 2021. Stayed in room 101 which was on the ground floor. The room was nice and clean. Our bathroom was also very nice and clean and even had bath robes for you to dry or lounge in. The best part about this place is the staff and how they go above and beyond to help you out. We had a little accident with our bathroom and we called the front desk to get some help. It was close to midnight and maintenance wasn't on site to help but the front desk(cannot recall his name) came to our room and helped. He finally got the can working for us again after a few minutes

This property is well located in the town and a very comfortable place to stay. The location is about three blocks from the main street and all that there is to offer in terms of restaurants and shopping as well as right next door to the Gondola that takes you over to Mountain Village. There are also a number of restaurants within two blocks from the location on the side streets. The rooms was large and very comfortable for our purposes. The customer service was outstanding in every interaction. Breakfast was continental and the location was nice and clean, just would suggest one hot option possibly

The hotel staff was absolutely incredible and let me get in extra early after a long day of traveling. I am so grateful!!! The rooms were adorable and had great things like a humidifier and awesome robes. I would 100% stay here again. The only complaint: the AC was not the best... we were pretty hot all night but it was uncharacteristically sweltering outside so not sure. Overall 4.5/5!!

My friend recommended this place and it was definitely a good tip. The staff here is so friendly, especially Connor and Booker. Everyone else was great too but I didn't catch their names! Connor went above and beyond to make us feel like the most special guests. The hotel is spotless, the rooms are really spacious and the breakfast is great! All amazing things at this place! Highly recommend. Oh and it's right next to the gondola with a ski valet next to the lift. Really awesome place.

I stayed here on my first trip to Telluride, during shoulder season. The staff was friendly, my room was quiet, roomy, and comfortable, and I enjoyed the ease of walking to shops or getting on the gondola just steps from the front door. I hope to return!

Perfect skiers hotel in Telluride. Location is the absolute best (true ski in ski out plus ski valet). The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast of bagels and lox everyday was delicious. Really only positive things to say. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Average at best. Great location but amenities leave a lot to be desired. Rooms are very basic. Old tv's, no microwave, no fridge, no coffee maker, decent free breakfast but lots of room for improvement. Will not stay here again.

Canals Garden is a true ski in ski out hotel. It has free ski valet, excellent complementary breakfast. There is a reasonably priced espresso drinks stand in the lobby. There is complementary wine at 4pm, but I never tried it. Rooms are clean and plenty of space. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. I loved my stay.

The hotel's location is very convenient, a few steps from the gondola (links Telluride to the Mountain Village) and a couple blocks from the main street shops and restaurants. There is also the Oak restaurant onsite that offers barbecue and has a nice patio.
The Camel's Garden hotel provides condos with kitchens too (individually owned so each is different) but we stayed in a traditional hotel room. Each one is big with a fireplace and a balcony, the bathroom with marble was also nice. I was surprised with such a nice room that there was no coffee machine (and no fridge).

Stayed here from February 26 - March 4, 2019. The room was spacious, and yes the fireplace lent a special charm to the room. The very large tub/shower combo was also a delight. What is there not to like about this place? Everything you need is right on site (rentals, restaurant, spa, chairlift 8 & gondola are right there). Enjoyed the variety of scones, lox and fresh strawberries for brekkie. Don't miss the complimentary wine, cheese & chips between 5-6pm daily (the red was a fav). Jacuzzi fits lots of people and is kept at a very nice hot temperature. The artwork around the hotel

Room was right by the gondola and really big. The bathroom had been recently renovated, and the bed / living area had a fireplace. Heated parking was also really convenient.

They have a 25 person hot tub with a beautiful view and a sauna. The entire hotel has beautiful plants all over so it feels homey. I usually stay in chain hotels and so this one was a breath of fresh air.

Staff is friendly, helpful, and happy.

Breakfast was cinnamon rolls, cereal, bread and yogurt. I would have loved if they had some healthier options -- like hard boiled eggs and fruit -- but it's nothing

What a gem - you really don't experience hotels like this anymore, especially not in mountain towns. I imagine it's absolutely amazing in the winter, because our stay in the summer was totally magical. The room was huge, and it was *so clean*! The staff is all super warm and welcoming, the breakfast was impressive... I can't wait to go back!

We came out to camp, but the weather was so beautifully wet, we ended up staying at this amazing hotel! The entire staff was wonderful! Wanted to thank Rio, Blake, Tom and Autumn for accommodating us in such short notice! Autumn was awesome enough to refund our money the second night, because some friends had a condo we were able to use last minute! Thank you so much for an exceptional experience! :-)

We stayed here for 2 nights in January for a birthday ski trip. Great location with ski in and ski out amenities. Lovely room, big beautiful bathtub. We got a very reasonable rate. Nice out door hot tub, however the hot tub was a little too hot for me. Great experience, we will return.

The hubby, the fur baby and I stayed here for a couple of nights in September. This property is extremely comfortable and located perfectly. Our room was spacious and the bedding felt so luxurious. The entire staff made us and our fur baby feel so welcome! Location was spot on... right next to the gondola and one block off of Colorado Street. Near good restaurants and shopping. There is an incredible wine/liquor store down the street. Mojo (fur baby) and I walked the path right on the river every AM and PM. A couple of comments and observations... Nicolas at the front desk was super helpful and

We stayed here for a weekend in August and loved it! The staff are great around the entire hotel and go out of their way to make your stay great. Room was very generously sized and you can't beat having a balcony. The oversized tub was a perfect end to a long day. Breakfast in the morning was a nice touch, simple and delicious. Great location next to the gondola! Really enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!

You cannot be a great man, said Marcus Aurelius, if you want ski-in ski-out on lift 10. It shows a certain limpness of backbone, an enervation of the will to want to ski-in ski-out on lift 1. Real skiers ski lifts 8 and 9. And there is no ski-in ski-out on lift 8. It's too steep. They can't build hotels like that. Just the Camel's Garden. Boom.

But from my room in Camels Garden -- 219 -- to the place where I could slap down my sticks at Lift 8 was a walk of 90 paces. 90 paces to glory.

Plus you're right there over Oak (the best after-ski drinking spot).

And, enough about

Can't get a hotel any closer to the chair lift of gondola. The Camel's Garden is a perfect place to stay in Telluride, especially for us single skiers (i.e. not traveling with family). I stayed here on a 3-day flight layover, skied one day.
The room I had is modestly upscale. Nice view of the gondola and ski trails. The staff is friendly.
There are many restaurants within one block from Camel's Garden. Great location for a hotel!

The staff are some of the most amazing people I have come across. My girlfriend and I got into a really serious pickle on top of one of the nearby mountains. Several helicopters and two wonderful search and rescue climbers later, the gentleman at the fron desk, along with the head chef of the restaurant, the GM, and the rest of the staff went WELL beyond what would be expected. They provided us with a wonderful place to rest and recover; they checked on our well-being, and they helped to get us back into a state of peace and safety. Its because of them that we are alive today, and I cannot say

Great experience! Stayed over Christmas with kids and dogs. Rooms are big and quiet. Breakfast in the morning and wine at night gives you a chance to meet interesting people from all over. Location is unbeatable with only steps to the gondola and a great ski valet service.
The staff at this hotel is amazing! They go out of their way for whatever you need and do it with a smile!
We will be back again and again...

Matt on the front desk rocks! I saw mention of him on Trip Adviser and they were right. He even called The New Sheridan restaurant to ask when their kitchen closed when we got into town later in the evening. 6 star service.

The property is right at the Gondola so is great location and just a couple of blocks off the main drag.

Our room had a king bed that was great and an in room fireplace and an outdoor semi private balcony. Room size was very nice and the water pressure in the shower is about the best I have ever experienced in any hotel. The entire property was outfitted how I would expect
