My husband planned a surprise for our 35th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, it turned into a terrible experience from the time we pulled up. There was no place to park, and when my husband (a Vietnam Vet)talked to the person in charge,she proceeded to scream at him and tell him she was not one of his airman, children, etc) and did not have time to deal with him. Then, the person she managed to have remove snow, threw snow at us. We were paying for the most expensive room ($180 a nt). It ruined our anniversary, and we paid for 2 nts and only stayed for one. The service, hospitality, was terrible, and we have stayed all over the world. It was the worst ever, and we would not recommend this place to anyone.

My husband and I stayed here at the tail end of our trip through the southern part of Colorado. We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before, so didn't know quite what to expect. The Inn was built 10 years ago specifically designed as a bed & breakfast. It is very tastefully decorated and beautiful inside. We loved our room, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom nice. Unfortunately the owner was out of town and had a friend filling in, so I don't think we got the true B&B experience. The housekeeping staff practically threw a party after breakfast (which did not taste very good!) was finished, so we had to go to a coffee shop to get away from their noisy children and loud music. I'm not sure if this would have been different if the host was in. We will definitely be giving B&B's more business, we really enjoyed the social aspect of meeting other guests, and would return to this inn again too.

Over the 4th of July 2003, four of us stayed at the China Clipper Inn.
We were very excited about our pick of this B&B and had looked forward to it for quite a while. Unfortunately. upon arrival on the 4th we were greated by someone who didn't have the time for introductions and immediately showed us to our room.

The B&B is very nice, as well as it is in a great location.
Unfortunately there was no welcome to the B&B. We felt (as well as others we talked with) that we were unwelcome guests in a distant relatives home. At times, no one seemed to be around at all and there was no one to ask about area attractions.

One morning we were seated at breakfast and the person cooking left - unsure her location, another employee questioned if we had been served almost 20 minutes after we sat down. We finally were served, but it was very rushed and the missing employee offered no apologies upon her return.

If you are not looking for the B&B feel and service that most B&B's are known for, this would be a good place to stay. If it is hospitality you are looking for, I would not recommend it.
