Hotels Overview

Steamboat Springs is unique in the state because it has high-end dude ranches and ranch resorts, which are absent in resort areas like Aspen, Summit County, and Vail.

In Grand Junction, Horizon Drive has the largest concentration of hotels and motels, conveniently located near Walker Field Airport and within walking distance of a handful of restaurants. For the budget conscious, there are many clean, no-frills motels as well as most of the well-known chains. History buffs might enjoy a stay at a dude ranch, one of the many rustic cabin rentals, or the famed Meeker Hotel, once frequented by Teddy Roosevelt. For those looking for the comforts of home, the area has a nice selection of bed-and-breakfasts, including one that has a llama herd and others set in fruit orchards and vineyards. Be sure to ask for off-season lodging rates, which could save you a bundle.
