It is so apparent that Kristen loves the work she does and truly opens her home and arms to her guests. The details are perfectly curated from entry to exit, and I could not have asked for a better experience. In fact, we started out in a well-reviewed hotel and encountered so many issues that we had to switch locations to the Clipper. I am so glad that we did. We will be back, and the Clipper is the only lodging I will seek out for future Ouray trips! You will not regret this stay!

I looked up Colorado law and it's against the law to deny a disability service animal.

I don't know why the owner of the establishment thinks it's OK to discriminate against people with disabilities, but it is NOT okay.

My mother (65+) had the best of intentions to book a stay here for our family including my 90 year old grandmother. She booked it a month in advance and was asked to pay ~$300 in advance for a "suite," and room for all of us. As a word of caution, it is never ok for a hotel to ask for all the money up front. A deposit is normal but not the entire amount. After driving for hours we arrived. Upon arrival, the entrance was not clearly marked. Upon searching, there was a gate with a cell number to call to check in. I called this number and a man shows up in beatup truck with a dog in tow. He immediately told us that he had given part of our room reservations away. There was never a phone call to let us know about this change. He also told us that there were two beds in one room without a bathroom on the bottom floor but we could use the shared bathroom upstairs with 3 other rooms. (I believe that this is a hostel situation?) When we expressed concern about my grandmother's mobility, he offered us a bucket to use. When he showed us the room, the stench of urine punched us in the face. I am not sure other guests elected for the "bucket offer." Additionally, the mattresses appeared to be in accordion arrangement with dirty linens. As tension built, one of the people in our party requested restitution for the inconvenience of getting there and our room being double booked. When this was requested, the owner told us that we needed to leave. According to many reviews we have read in retrospect, this is a common pattern from the owner of this hotel. In the midst of this chaos I took my grandmother across the street to get a soda and food. We learned more about this business from the owner of the restaurant. We learned that he has been in conflict with other business owners in this town. Avoid this place at all costs as nothing good can come from doing business with this hotel.

We stayed at the St. Elmo in late July and booked "Suite 11 with mountain views." Instead, we got what felt like a basement: exposed pipes, cobwebs, dirty floors, broken glass, a rusty heater, flimsy cupboards, and a coat rack with no hangers. Nowhere close to the photos or views advertised. After asking to be moved, we stayed in two other rooms. Neither was a suite, and one was tiny with a broken shower. At over $400 a night, this was far from the romantic getaway we expected. Breakfast? Reheated eggs, and microwaved burritos. Definitely not worth the price (check other reviews if you don't believe me). After the stay, I politely reached out for a partial refund and was turned away. When I disputed the charge (first time here as well), I received a call 20 days later from their "director of operations," followed 8 minutes later by a threatening message from Clay (likely the new owner) pretending to be an attorney making wild threats and sending outrageous messages. Rude, unprofessional, and completely out of line. The only positives: Room 11 is no longer available to rent. the cleaning staff were very sweet. Cute property, but poorly run and not worth the price. Stay clear.

It's within walking distance of everything in town and even tough it is literally on main street, I slept like a baby! It was incredibly quiet and even though it was totally booked, I didn't hear anyone else. The rooms were impeccable and I would never have known any pet had been in the room if I wasn't told. We stayed in the Palomino room. It was a very roomy room with a small kitchenette (microwave and mini fridge) which was plenty since all I had were leftovers. The converted large walk-in closet allowed for plenty of room for everything my beloved cat, Luna. Even though we were on a quiet getaway, when I had to get some work done (boo!) the wi-fi was incredibly fast! The staff was so nice and helpful with local information. We will be back soon!!!!

They even have a gate so your pet is secure on the deck. Overall a wonderful stay. We will definitely stay again on future adventures.

We had such a relaxing stay at Twin Peaks Lodge & Hot Springs and I already can't wait to go back…read more The mountain views are absolutely breathtaking and the entire property has a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. They offer several geothermal mineral soaking pools ranging from about 102-106 degrees, plus a cold plunge. I also appreciated that two of the pools are adults only, which made it feel even more relaxing. The caves were open during our visit and included both a dry sauna and steam room. There's also a water filling station inside, which is honestly a smart touch considering the heat and altitude. I booked directly through their website and chose the "Lodging, Spa & Spritzer Package," which was a really good value. It included: * Breakfast buffet each morning * A bucket of spritzer wine at arrival * Two robes * Daily hot springs passes * A $25 credit to the Mineshaft restaurant * A $100 spa credit at Sage Spa The breakfast buffet actually exceeded expectations with a good variety of options, and the pizza at Mineshaft was delicious. Service throughout the property was friendly and courteous. We arrived during a warm, sunny stretch in mid-April and left during a snowy day, which honestly made the hot springs experience even better. The pools stay open during snowfall, and soaking while snow falls around the mountains was such a cool experience. The only downside was that it was off-season, so there was some construction happening around the property and we could hear power tools during parts of the day. The rooms are also a bit outdated right now, but it's obvious they're actively working on upgrades and renovations. The evenings were much quieter and the relaxing spa music around the pools helped create a really peaceful atmosphere. Overall, this was a great getaway and I'm excited to come back once the remodel updates are complete.

We had a king accessible room so it was probably a little different from the regular rooms. It was spacious but one of the lights wasn't working so we had to drag a lamp over to the table area. There was a microwave and good size fridge and a small, pod coffee maker on the dresser. IMO the coffee was pretty good. Our couch also pulled out into a bed. They had coffee/tea in the lobby and passed out brown bag breakfasts in the morning. Our bathroom could have used some counter space but there wasn't any. The shower was tiny but did have a bench and grab bars. The whole thing was porta-potty sized and only had a hand held sprayer with very weak water pressure, but it was clean. They did provide bar soap and had shampoo and body wash dispensers in the shower. The whole room was pretty clean and almost bug free - which for Colorado mountain towns says a lot. It was showing some wear but it was nice to have the air conditioning unit even if it was noisy and didn't work very well. There was also a portable floor fan in the small closet along with a luggage stand and bench for the shower. If someone needs an accessible room this one was very complete. I chatted with John, the owner, a couple of times and he is very nice and pretty mellow. His daughter Laura is also very friendly and sweet. Really the biggest issue we had was lack of maid service. When I went to ask about clean towels, John told me to put our used ones on the chair outside our door. We did that the next day at 7am, got back to the room about 3:30pm and the used towels were gone but there were no new ones. I went to the lobby and got towels and when we left for dinner there was a stack of clean towels on the chair. No one ever emptied our trash or even checked the room the whole week. It wasn't that we needed much but the website and handout we received both stated they had daily maid service. For $250/night I would have expected better communication. I did really enjoy the firepit area and hot tubs and we were able to have friends over one evening to socialize on the patio. I do recommend The River's Edge but it's important to clarify expectations on what's included.
