The Hot Springs Inn was a slight disappointment to us. We encountered a woman named Rita (possibly the owner) who entered our room to tape a hand-written sign for us NOT to touch the TV box or wires to the TV. We had not touched anything. We turned the TV on and all we got was static from Dish TV. We left a note on the second day to have someone fix it so we could watch TV. They did fix it, but included the nasty note. The 3 hot tubs are tiny and children under 5' are not allowed to enter them. The continental breakfast is only served from 8-9:30 am. For people from the east coast that is the equivalent of eating at 10 am or later. The hotel is on the outskirts of town, about 1/5 mile from the Hot Springs pool. We could not walk to restaurants or attractions. The beds are large and comfortable, but notes taped to the dresser warn not to stain any linens. The hotel chose white towels and floor mats. These are hard to keep stain-free with kids. Overall, Hot Springs Inn is not kid-friendly.

Stayed here for one night in August 2006 - wish we had stayed longer. There are 5 of us in our family so finding comfortable lodging with enough beds is always a challenge. We stayed here in a suite with a kitchen and futon in the living room - very clean and nice. We loved the hot tubs on the hill above the Inn - so relaxing and the view was wonderful. Ouray is a great town and we're all looking forward to going back and staying again at the Hot Springs Inn.

We stayed here in Sept. and the beds were great and the room was very clean. If you are going to have dinner in town I would highly reccomend the Outlaw. I had the Ribs, wife had the shrimp and daughter had the steak all very good.

What a wonderful hotel! Rita the innkeeper was so pleasant as was her assistant. The hotel rooms look just like the photos on their web page. My husband and I stayed at the very end of the season, which was great! (no crowds!) The beds were comfortable and the room a good size. The granite sink is in the bedroom, separate from the shower and toilet, which makes it convenient getting dressed.

The breakfast was fine, with coffee, juice, tea, rolls, cereal, toast, jelly, oatmeal. If you want eggs I recommend Maggie's Kitchen, next door to hotel.

I am a travel agent myself. I would recommend this hotel to the most discerning client. My husband and I plan to return soon!
