2/2 found this review helpful

My husband and I recently spent three nights at the China Clipper Inn, in one of their "premium" first floor rooms. We felt it was a bit cramped. Lots of furniture, but only one chair. (There were two plastic chairs and a table just outside the room, but a cigar-smoking guest prevented us from sitting out there one evening.) Also, we were able to hear the guests above us, and the shower from adjoining rooms. Fortunately, we weren't in Ouray to sit in our room, so it worked out okay. The hosts were very accommodating. Breakfast food was tasty and plentiful; however, not very imaginative. (We had egg dishes all three mornings.) There is also lemonade, wine and cheese provided in the early evening. All in all, a good experience.

“Lovely Inn”

5/5 found this review helpful

Very nice inn. We had the Romance of the Seas room to get a king bed and it was nicely-sized with lovely decor. One unexpected drawback is that the shower is located in the jacuzzi-type tub, so you had to step over the high tub side just to get a shower. Wouldn't be good for the physically challenged and I hadn't really anticipated that. Good shower, though. The garden hot tub was great and we had a lovely and filling breakfast each morning.

“Far Exceeded Expectations”

China Clipper Inn

May 22, 2007
5/5 found this review helpful

We quickly selected the China Clipper based on pictures on their web site and price. For $85 we expected a clean, functional, and accommodating place to simply spend a night. We were blown away once we arrived. The Inn itself was as much of a destination for us as was the surrounding beauty of Ouray. There were numerous special touches throughout our room and the Inn that make it inviting, comfortable, and most of all a special place to spend our precious vacation hours. In addition, the food was very good and the service top notch. I would highly recommend this Inn.

7/7 found this review helpful

Elegant and comfortable. We stayed in Boulder, Colorado Springs, Vail, but Ouray and the China Clipper Inn was the best part of our trip. The town is great, the innkeeper knowledgeable and accommodating. The Inn has a number of nice rooms, and we looked at several before deciding on ours. It rained the entire time we were in Ouray but it was still a fantastic experience. Go for an upstairs room!

We had a great trip. Our stay at the China Clipper Inn was THE HIGHLIGHT of so many highlights. We enjoyed the hospitality of the China Clipper. The Inn is so beautiful and comfortable, the hosts very gracious, helpful and delight ful. The wonderful conversations with the hosts and other guests sparked more interesting topics among us as the trip continued. Thanks to the China Clipper...... we will spread the word about the China Clipper Inn.
