I am amazed at the bad reviews below. This place is WONDERFUL..quiet and peaceful..a little odd?? Yes..but so is Ouray. My only complaint was that they bed was hard as a rock..also found it a bit strange that there was no shampoo in the rooms. But all in all our one night there was wonderful. We woke up on Sunday morning to the church bells across the street. What a wonderful way to greet a morning. The cave is a lovely gem and the warm pool is a great way to avoid the regular springs in the city. Go there, relax, enjoy the quiet and forget the nay sayers. What a lovely place.

I stayed here twenty years ago and had fond memories of the hot springs and great massage so we were anticipating a comfortable relaxing stay when we returned this year. How disappointed we were! The anemic shower barely dripped and fluxuated from scalding hot to frigid cold. The room was tiny and run down in need of new carpet and a fresh coat of paint. Except for a tiny bar of soap there were no amenities such as shampoo or lotion. For the $120.00 room rate you are getting a $50 room and paying $70 for the vapor cave.

I am a smoker so my husband requested a smoking room, they told us that there was no smoking in the motel but their were ashtrays on the patio. No problem I dont mind smoking outside. We checked in, put all of our things in the "Sun Room" (@$179.00 a night,with no bathtub and sheer curtains and a small 13inch TV.) I walked outside to smoke a cigarette, no where near the entrance, and when I walked back in to the Motel the clerk asked me if when we made the reservation anyone asked if I was a smoker. We said no, why? She said that she was going to have to ask us to leave because "Smokers" are not allowed to stay at all! We were mortified! If I had known that there were no smokers not smoking allowed I never would have made the reservation there to begin with. They really need to make this clear so that no one else has to suffer the humilliation that I did. I suggest that in their advertising they make this clear. They also do not allow pets. Does this really mean pet owners?!

we have stayed at the wiesbaden approximately once a year from 1981 through the later 1990's. with a few exceptions ( * ), i'll try to focus on the usual experience... (1) the into-the-mountain (underground) cave/spa is, really, the 'jewell' of this place. there is a 'hot tub' (maybe 108 or hotter!) but all one needs to do is merely hang out nearby for the sauna experience. (2) the outdoor pool is also pretty neat -- usually not the crowds of the main outdoor hot ouray pool -- but being in hot water looking at the icy peaks all around (or being in it at night while heavy snow falls) is a pleasant experience. summer's ain't bad, too. (3) rooms are small, but pleasant. (4) other guests are USUALLY of similar inclination -- don't be too loud nor obnoxious, etc. (5) EVERYTHING in ouray is in easy walking distance. a few good restaurants nearby. we used to frequent the "bon ton" .

we haven't been there in a while, so perhaps some things have changed (e.g., still a bonton? if not, there's bound to be good restaurants/cafes). it is a pleasant change to be able to park your car and leave it. in a sense, this is an 'all inclusive' resort -- if you consider the 3 or 4 or .. block walk to eat as still being in the resort.
