Could not have asked for a better place to stay for the Leadville 100 run this year! The location was absolutely perfect (just a couple blocks from the start/finish of the race), and the room was super cute, clean, and comfortable (those beds... holy crap, I have to know where you got those comforters!). But what really made the stay at Timberline special was the hospitality that Nell and her team provided. It was so easy to communicate with them via text message, and they were so friendly and accommodating! Seriously, I've travelled a lot for running events, and this was by far the BEST hotel experience I've ever had. Stop looking and book this place NOW!

Nicely renovated older motel in downtown Leadville. All of the main businesses, restaurants, and key locations (i.e. start/finish line of some of the big races) are within easy walking distance.Check in time is not flexible--the electronic lock is on a timed system and your key code won't work before 4 pm. I was able to visit some local businesses while I waited and although I didn't ask first, it seemed that parking in front of my room before check in was OK.The room is comfortable, and storage space is not only above average but well thought-out for a place that caters to outdoor athletes. There is plenty of hanging space as well as cubbies for gear. I also liked the literary selections, which are themed toward Leadville's outdoorsy vibe. Some of the books are even available for direct purchase (added to your room bill) which is a nice touch if someone doesn't have a chance to get to the local (excellent) book store or the gear shop across the street.Great stay overall!

Timberline checked a lot of boxes: 1. Location 2. Friendly people 3. Items in the room were a nice touch, didn't use them but it shows they care : trail books and other literature, subtle decorations, coffee set up with a logo’d Timberline container. 4. Local soap, shampoo was nice, and it was actually good. 5. Bed and linens were well appointed 6. Pic attached is a view from the room front door Its not the Ritz Carlton, but it's not supposed to be either. Overall well done and kudos to the owners and associates. Only thing that caught me off guard was no AC. Stayed in May, so was fine....unsure about July. For me, checked a lot of boxes and I'm glad I chose Timberline and you should too.

Room was ready on time and the security code check-in was smooth. The room design is minimalist however we were provided with everything needed and everything functioned as designed. The motel location is ideal and the entire town including dining and shopping options is within walking distance The fire pits were a nice surprise and the provision to make and enjoy S'mores was an added benefit. We'll be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Timberline in Leadville. The accommodations were excellent, with top-quality linens and towels that made everything feel comfortable and well cared for. The room was very clean, and it was clear that a lot of attention is paid to the details. We especially loved the fire pit, which was a great place to relax. The location is also fantastic, within easy walking distance to downtown. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
