We stayed at Elevation Hotel over Memorial Day weekend, which is during the offseason in Crested Butte. The staff was super friendly and accommodating and very comfortable with having all the dogs around. The location is excellent, up in the ski village, but just a short drive to the town. We had fun just walking around the village and town with the dog and we also enjoyed a few of the many nearby hikes.

Easy to get to and great location. Clean, updated, and comfortable room. It’s so nice when you can’t tell a room is specifically set aside for pets. Super nice staff, too!

Others who travel with dogs may share my anxiety about the condition of dog-friendly designated hotel rooms. The Classic Desert Aire Hotel made me sigh in relief. The room was clean with hard-surface floors and no indication that it was even set aside for travelers with dogs. Plus, the staff was awesome and the breakfast was truly great. There seem to be dog-friendly rooms on both the first and second floors. No elevators, so just keep that in mind if anyone in your group has mobility concerns. There isn’t much land around for doggy bathroom business at the hotel but I think it’s a challenge for all hotels in the area. Our pup was able to figure it out and make it work. Whenever we’re in the area again we plan to stay here for sure.

This was our second time staying here and it was great. No questions/issues at check in, room was clean and spacious. Nice area to walk dog, too. We’ll be back!
