Summary:
The Grand Lodge is a great budget friendly hotel for you to enjoy the outdoor activities and scenery that Crested Butte has to offer. This is a no frills hotel, but offers a comfortable place to stay at an affordable price.
The Space:
Please be aware that the Grand Lodge pool and hot tub will be closed starting on May 8, 2024. The hot tub maintenance is set to be completed on 5/24/24. The pool maintenance has been extended and we will update this note when we have further information. As of now, the pool is closed.
The Grand Lodge is a 3 star hotel. It is made up of condos that have been purchased by individual owners. Each owner chooses their management company. We manage 13 in the building. There are few things to keep in mind when you stay at the Grand Lodge.
The Pros: Crested Butte is absolutely breathtaking! The location of the Grand Lodge is EPIC, a very short walk (less than 8 minutes) to the bottom of the ski resort! On the way you will pass a coffee shop and a few restaurants! The pool and hot tub are great. The pool has an indoor section as well as outdoor. The hot tub is large (probably the largest compared to other hotels). Both are kept very clean and maintained. There is also a large steam room for relaxing after a long day. The Grand Lodge has free outdoor parking
(guests are given one parking pass per room). In addition every room has a mini kitchen that comes in handy for snacks. Overall the convenience is what makes the Grand Lodge special!
The Cons: There is a management company that manages the building and amenities. They can make last minute decisions that we don't have control over (example closing an amenity without notice). The building is old and the rooms are a little weathered. With that being said, the rooms are clean (we take pride in making sure cleanliness is our top priority). We even go an extra step and do deep cleans during shoulder season twice a year. None of the rooms have air conditioning, there is a thermostat for heat.
Overall if you are expecting all the bells and whistles that come along with a 5 star hotel, you will be disappointed if you book here.
Unlike most of the rooms at the Grand Lodge, this is a 1 bedroom suite!! Upon entering the space, a bathroom is located immediately to the right. A kitchen table and four chairs are situated in an alcove to the left. The living room and kitchen are connected. A Murphy bed (queen) folds down in the living room and can sleep 2 guests. A private bedroom has a king size bed for 2 more guests and its own private bathroom. The room has cable TV. The kitchen has a Keurig coffee maker, fridge, sink, stove and dishwasher.
