The hotel we usually stay at in Ouray was fully booked so we decided to try the China Clipper based on the reviews we read. We’re so glad we did. Our room was amazing and Charles and Melissa were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back.

We LOVED our stay at Hot Springs Inn! We were warmly received at the reception desk and the ladies there were very happy to help us locate a wonderful restaurant for dinner. The room was lovely, and the beds and pillows were SO comfortable!! We loved the sound of the river right outside our room off our balcony. We walked to town both nights we were there. Great restaurants and coffee shops! The town is so picturesque...like right out of a Hallmark movie! You must visit Ouray and Hot Springs Inn...

I can’t say enough about how enjoyable my stay was. I stayed for two nights. Everything went great, from the check-in, to the communication from the staff, to the jeep rental, to the location. It was just a pleasure. I stayed in one of the hotel rooms (as opposed to the cabins). It was really clean and had all the amenities I needed in that price range. I loved the areas on site where you can sit and enjoy the Uncompahgre River, soak in the hot tubs or enjoy the fire pit with the provided...

This was a dream come true for us to be able to go back in time and stay at the Beaumont. However, not sacrificing any comforts. The spa lotions, the pillows, the bed , the robes,the tub and on and on. We loved it. We also loved the view from the second floor, breathtaking!

This nicely renovated hotel on the main street in Ouray was the perfect place to stay. Nice views of the mountains, great location, and although the front desk is open limited hours--the people working there are very welcoming and very helpful. I will come back!

We came in late at night and were climbing Mt Sneffels at 5am the next morning. Our host Kim loaded up our mini fridge that night with yogurt, muffins, pastries, and eggs because she knew we wouldn't be there for the free breakfast. She really does care about service and goes well beyond what I've come to expect from your average hotel staff. The room had a was perfect and stocked with a kitchenette (fridge, cooktop, sink, utensils, pots/pans, etc.). The grounds were immaculate and my wife took...

Wonderful hotel, friendly & helpful staff. Beautiful room. Breakfast was a bit overstated; just bread that could be toasted and fruit. We’ve stayed here twice and would stay here again.

The parking was great right in front of your room. Room was down below a restaurant and roof top bar. With excellent view of mountains. The room was very quiet and the bathroom was gorgeous.

The Box Canyon Lodge is a great place to stay when in and around Ouray. Love the location because you can walk to all the restaurants and shops and Box Canyon entrance as well as the Ice Park entrance are not far. Staff is really friendly and the rooms are nice and clean. The hot springs are an added bonus and well worth to spend some time soaking the stress away.

Beautiful Inn, near slopes and restaurants. The staff could not be nicer or friendlier. We will be returning here next year. Love it here. Thank you Matt and staff were the best.
