We really enjoyed our stay here at this quaint and charming small historic hotel. I have stayed in many historic hotels in my travels and this one was one of the most cleanest, well maintained old hotels I have ever been in. Our room (14) was very comfortable and felt like home. The big window let in alot of light and was able to open it. We had a very comfortable queen bed, antique dresser, a couple of chairs, tv with limited cable, a box fan is provided and a ceiling fan which I really liked that. As much as the room had alot of old-fashoined charm, the bathroom was very modern and spacious with a large walk-in shower which I like as I'm not fond of clawfoot tubs that alot of historic hotels have. The towels are thick and soft. The hallway is wide and bright with chairs and couches here and there. Breakfast is not provided but there is a coffee room that also has tea, a small soda machine (only 50 cents), an ice machine and microwave for guest use. The room prices are extremely reasonable. Our queen room was only $65.00.
Dale the owner is around the hotel alot of the time and will answer any questions or provide information on the town and activities. If he is not there he will make sure you have his number to reach him if you need anything.
The Ouray Hotel occupies the second floor of a corner building that has retail shops on the first floor. To get to your room does require going up and down a staircase to the second floor, but it was not a problem for us. The building is on Main St. and you can walk just about everywhere in Ouray... restaurants, shops, library across the side street, Ouray County Historical museum which is up the side street, Box Canyon Falls City Park.
If we ever come back to Ouray I would stay here again.
