Places to stay in or around Gunnison

I drew a 3rd season deer tag in the Basin, any recommendations on places to stay? Places to eat?

I used to like to camp/fish at Almont at the BLM campground, me and my wife had some great memories up there, and caught some great fish. Enjoy your hunt

I always make it a point to eat at Mario's in Gunnison whenever I pass through.

My vote goes to the W Cafe, especially for breakfast but of course when you are hunting, cafe breakfast is out.

Could depend on what hunt you have? A lot of the areas in the basin are a long ways from town.

The Western Inn has been good to me.

The Western Inn has been good to me.

Agreed!
I stayed at the Western last year for third and fourth season. Very clean and reasonably priced rooms. It’s an old school Mom and pop operation. The lady that runs it is Christina. She has a foreign accent but they’ve been there a long time. Very nice people. I was able to park my truck near my room and they also allowed me to set up my propane barbecue outside the door and I cooked my meals there.
The one drawback with the Western is there really isn’t anywhere to park a truck with an RV trailer. Single vehicles will be fine. I booked my room way in advance and got a really good deal.

For eats, I like The Dive, High Alpine Brewery, The W, Blackstock Bistro. Burgers are good at the Power Stop. Lots of lodging options. Gunnison Inn west of town might work.

There's also a pizza place, Mario's? Good stuff...

3 rivers resort in Almont has cabins for rent, full kitchens with pots and pans.
