Lodging in a Small Mountain Town
Hotels in Silverton, CO: What to Expect
Silverton sits at 9,318 feet in the San Juan Mountains. It's a small town, and its lodging is small-scale too — motels and lodges built for people headed outside, not for people headed to a pool.
What you will find are family-run motels and lodges, most of them an easy walk from downtown. Triangle Motel has been one of those stops since 1958 — renovated rooms at 848 Greene Street, right at the edge of downtown, next to a gas station and convenience store.
Our rooms went through a full renovation — new furnishings and modern bathrooms — but the building itself still carries the rugged, roadside-stop character it had back when miners and mountain travelers were the only ones passing through.
"Very clean rooms!! Even the carpeting was clean and didn't have that common musty smell you find in so many motels. Comfortable beds with great shower and good size functioning fridge/freezer. Would definitely stay again!!
" — Merri Peterson, guest review
Where in Town to Stay
Choosing a Location in Silverton, CO
Greene Street is Silverton's main street. Most people end up walking it at least once a day — breakfast, a gift shop, maybe just standing at the end of the block staring at the peaks. Stay within a block or two of it, and the car can sit parked for the whole trip.
Triangle Motel sits right at 848 Greene Street, at the edge of downtown next to a gas station and convenience store, so fuel, pizza, or a forgotten phone charger are a few steps away. Free parking includes overflow space for trailers and OHV transport too, if you're hauling one up from Durango. Our sister property, Kendall Mountain Lodge, is a smaller, historic building on Blair Street — guests staying there still check in here, at the Triangle Motel front desk.
Year-Round Basecamp
When to Visit: Silverton Hotels by Season
Book a Silverton hotel room in July and good luck — book one in April and you'll have your pick. Here's why.
Summer
Peak season. The narrow gauge railroad runs, 4x4 trails open, and rooms book up fastest.
Fall
Cooler days, fewer crowds, golden aspens, and lower rates than peak summer.
Winter
Silverton Mountain draws skiers for deep powder. Kendall Mountain covers family skiing and sledding.
Year-Round
Some Silverton businesses close for part of the year. Triangle Motel stays open all 365 days.
Pick Your Room
Choosing a Room at a Silverton Hotel
Not every Silverton hotel room is the same, and the right one depends on who's coming. Triangle Motel's lineup covers most of it: first-floor king and queen rooms, a second-floor family room with two queen beds, and suites with a full kitchen — stove, dishwasher, fridge — for anyone staying more than a couple nights.
We're also the only motel in Silverton with a purpose-built, first-floor ADA accessible room. Every room comes with mountain views, free Wi-Fi, a 32-inch flat-screen TV with Direct TV, a mini fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker, and daily housekeeping, no matter which one you book.
The suites take it a step further — a full kitchen with a 4-burner stove-top, a small oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator, built for anyone staying more than a weekend.
Booking Smart
Booking Tips for Silverton Hotels
Book direct and skip the third-party markup. Triangle Motel's own site runs up to 15% cheaper than booking the same room through an outside travel site, and if you have questions about dates, group size, or anything else, the front desk can answer them before you reserve. For a bigger group or multiple rooms, call ahead — the front desk can often work out something the online booking tool can't.
Rates dip in spring and fall and climb during peak summer railroad season. Triangle Motel is open year-round — all 365 days, including the quiet stretch of January — and the front desk runs 7am to 9pm, reachable by phone 24 hours.

Have a question we didn't cover? Call us at (970) 387-5780.
What hotels are available in Silverton, Colorado?
Silverton is a small town, and its lodging is small-scale too — motels and lodges, most of them within walking distance of Greene and Blair Streets downtown. Triangle Motel is one of them: a family-run motel at 848 Greene Street with renovated king, queen, family, and suite rooms, open every day of the year.
Where is the best place to stay in Silverton?
Stick close to Greene Street. It's the main drag — restaurants, shops, trailheads, all of it within a block or two. We're right on Greene Street ourselves, at the edge of downtown, with a gas station and convenience store next door for whatever you forgot.
What room types does Triangle Motel offer?
King rooms, queen rooms, and a second-floor family room with two queen beds. There's a first-floor ADA accessible room too, and for anyone staying a while, suites with a full kitchen — stove, dishwasher, and fridge. Mountain views, free Wi-Fi, and a 32-inch flat-screen with Direct TV come standard, whichever one you book.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is 3pm. Check-out is 11am. The front desk keeps hours of 7am to 9pm, and the phone itself is reachable 24 hours, any day of the year.
