Chipeta Lodge

"This was my first visit to Ridgway and am VERY glad I stayed at the Chipeta Lodge. When I saw this was a 3-star hotel I kept my expectations limited, but when I got on property expectations were exceeded. The hotel is a perfect blend of "Colorado Rustic" but new "vibe" feel. When I first arrived, I was met by a very friendly staff member, Darcie, and she told me all about the property and the amenities for my stay. My room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the staff was more than friendly. We even got a chance to meet the owners. The other item to note is the onsite bar and restaurant. I can't think of another place I've stayed that the bartender, John, was a level 2 sommelier. He also makes a great old fashion. I'd like to come back in the summer when they have live music at the outside rooftop bar. If traveling to Ridgway or looking to ski at Telluride and don't want to be part of the hustle and bustle of a ski town, I would recommend the Chipeta Lodge."

"The lodge itself was amazing. There is a hot tub a swimming pool ( not year round) and breakfast at 8 AM at the main building. Sometimes you will get loud neighbors like we did. The quiet hours are only 8 AM to 10 PM. And the resort is really great. Oh and only some rooms are pet friendly make sure to use the right one."

"After many visits to Chipeta I highly recommend spending a bit more to stay in one of the LoCha suites. While there have been ongoing renovations during our last few visits, we’ve never found these to be disruptive to our experience. Staying at Chipeta is good year round however during the winter is our favorite!"

"Chipeta Lodge is amazing!! So many great things to say about this place!! I stayed the night here traveling for work with my dog and every moment was excellent! We were warmly welcomed by Jade at Reception and, they were extremely helpful! The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. There are stained glass windows throughout and it is a spacious yet cozy feel. Very bright and beautiful views of the mountains from my room. The mineral hot soaking tub is what drew me here initially and it did not disappoint. Gorgeous sunset views over the mountains from the tub. I cannot express enough how welcoming and helpful Jade was! I clumsily dropped my phone in the hot soaking tub and Jade helped me providing rice and a bowl to soak my phone in. Jade gave excellent food recommendations, True Grit, and was very kind and hospitable to all guests. I will absolutely be staying at Chipeta whenever I get the opportunity to do so!"

"we arrived to the hotel on Sunday, October 2023 the key to our room was in an envelope at the front desk. There was a sign that said there is a Work shortage no one will be available today. We got to our room which was not what we ordered. right next to the mattress pad and the wall was an outlet that was not screwed in properly. And there was no cover on it. multiple plugs were plugged into an adapter into one outlet. Which was warm. A fire hazard just waiting to happen. The bed basically was a box springs no light in the room to be able to see to put make up on. The tub and toilet area was open to the bedroom no fan in the bathroom disaster room. We talked to the weekend manager Michelle and the fact that we were not satisfied and it was not the room we ordered she told us oh well luck at the draw no one there we can't change it no one's available. Requested a call from the general manager have not received one yet And probably won't. and probably won't. The only employee that was on site was the bartender. He advised us that the kitchen was closed for the breakfast which was supposed to be part of our room price. He told us our room was listed for a person with a Russian name which wasn't us. he told us that someone from Telluride had bought the site and they were trying to renovate it. Was not told when I paid for the room that this was in progress or that breakfast would not be available. Asked the bartender if I could get some more towels because we only had two towels in the room a hand towel and bath towel and he told us to go down to the hot tub and grab those towels. Very unsatisfied would never stay there again."
