The Clipper Inn is the lodging experience you are looking for in Ouray--picturesque scenery (you…read morecan watch climbers and even ice climbers on the mountain face right across from the B&B), well-decorated, cozy rooms with everything guests need and comfy beds, plenty of group or smaller gathering areas both inside and outside on the B&B property; wonderful breakfast prepared every morning; and a warm and inviting atmosphere that permeates the premises.   The owner, Kristin, and her staff's hospitality and kindness is unmatched. 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!

Lovely quiet location with friendly staff!…read more We stayed in room #10 for 3 nights. Elizabeth and Conner greeted us when we arrived. They were helpful with information about the manor. No formal check in, the key was in the door of your room for entry. They were outstanding for our entire stay. Breakfast each day was delicious, Elizabeth's stuffed French toast was the best. They asked each day if we had any food limitations which was nice to add or delete ingredients for a breakfast made to order. The last day friendly Laura was the chef for breakfast and did a fabulous job. At 5:00pm they had a happy hour with beer, wine and delicious cookies. We met other couples and visited in the reception area daily each with adventures of the day in Ouray. The location is beautiful and quiet with a short walk to the main street of the town. Parking is perfect right in front of the manor. The outdoor hot tub was the best after daytime hiking. Towels and robes were provided in a basket in the reception area. The hot tub had 7 powerful jets on your back and feet and it was never busy. Room 10 on the second floor at the end of the hallway was spacious with high ceilings and a jetted bathtub. It was nice to have 2 entry doors, one from inside the manor and a 2nd door to enter from the outside to the outdoor hot tub. This was our 1st stay at a B&B in the USA and it was a wonderful experience. The staff at Black Bear Manor made you feel welcomed and at home. Thank you Elizabeth, Conner and Laura!

Honestly, I enjoyed check in and my stay in the room at the hotel (I was there one night and only…read moreused the hotel for sleeping). I was a guest of my family's and they booked a room for them and then they booked a room for me and my guest. I was along for the ride. My family said check out was at 11, but it was actually at 10. This was our bad and mistakes happen. I mean, we travel all over the world staying at hotels and we got our time wrong for the first time. It happens. Apparently, this was a major mistake that sent their housekeeping operation into a frenzy. We went to breakfast around 10:10 after packing our stuff up so we could quickly grab it by 11 and head out. Around 10:36, I received 5 back to back calls, plus two text messages from the hotel. I answered the 6th call, as my phone was stored away from being able to feel the vibration. When I answered, a woman told me that check out was actually 10. I apologized profusely and said we would be right there. We left immeadiately and headed over, and I sent a text to them explaining that I had been told a different check in time. When we arrived to our room, our keys had already been deactivated. No problem, we planned on going to the front desk. This is where problems began, I turned to my family and said our keys had been deactivated. At that time, a woman came towards me in the parking lot yelling that check out time was at 10. I told her sorry I was told a different time and we just needed to grab our stuff and we would be out within 10 seconds. She unlocked our door, still lecturing us, and FOLLOWED US INTO THE ROOM STILL COMPLAINING THAT IT WAS AFTER CHECK OUT. She stood there and said we signed a paper stating we would check out at 10 (okay, my bad, I thought my family had asked for a late check out). And then pointed towards the door and kept saying "Did you not read on the door that check out was at 10?" Tapping it over and over again. I just stopped engaging with her. It was very rude and annoying. I stated it was a mistake and came to get my things right away and was still treated like that. The worst thing is that this was our last resort hotel because every else was booked. The front desk was so so nice and relaxed, but whoever the lady was needs to learn some hospitality. It was an honest mistake and I was followed around and lectured like a child. We will definitely not stay at this hotel again. Lesson learned, booked earlier. The AC smells musty there, but other than that everything was okay.

Don't, just don't. By even considering this as a lodging option, you are setting yourself up for…read morefailure and a rough experience. Here is why..... 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.

It's hard to put into words, the way I feel about this place, but I'll try…read more We specifically booked this place because of the history. And the cabin in particular that is built upon Chief Ouray's hunting adobe. We absolutely loved the cabin. It was private and primative, but had everything we needed. And to learn that it was built in 1902 was even better. It does have a comfy bedroom, it is not a studio. And a kitchenette with a fridge and a stove, a microwave and mostly fully stocked. A decent shower and lots of heaters with a wood burning stove. We would stay here again in a second. It was neat waking up to the wild turkeys and driving up and down the hill in the ice. The jeep made it really easy. We also booked the sunroom and while I do love staying in the lodge, because of its convenience, we much prefer the cabin. The sun room is almost all windows, and it is literally built on top of the vapor cave with the rock coming through one wall. It's very cozy too, and has a king bed. That part is great! There is no kitchenette in here though, but the front desk clerk was kind enough to help us with some items we needed to make some sandwiches. I'll tell you the most difficult part is this: The entitlement of folks who have no concept of respect. Whether it be berating the staff or talking loudly and obnoxiously while soaking. If someone doesn't know hot springs etiquette, they should learn. It's a place of retreat, rest and relaxation. It's also a sacred native site. It deserves respect. Don't come here if you're looking to be loud and obnoxious. You don't know how many times I watched people walk away from soaking, because of idle drunk gossipy talk... The times where we have been mostly alone, are just epic and I'm truly grateful for that. It has been one of the best weeks just becoming one with nature and the earth, honoring the sacred. There really are no more words except this... For all the negative reviews around social media or online, that's great keep it up. The rest of us would like this little gem kept a secret. Thanks

A giant scam. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!…read more In short, I had a reservation. Mudslides closed the roads to Ouray just prior to my arrival. I confirmed the closed roads with the Colorado Department of Transportation. The hotel still refused to refund my money despite being unable to get there. I offered to change my reservations to 2-3 weeks later since I would return to Colorado. The hotel refused to refund my money. The hotel never provided a name of anyone to discuss. I only could converse via email to a generic hotel email. I am still fighting to get back my $1,000. Hotel doesn't care as long as they have my money. Pathetic. They refused to discuss over phone. Then they sent a generic email asking how my stay was. Insult to injury. DO NOT EVER BOOK THIS HOTEL.

Reception was very friendly and included a demonstration of the room and its features (including the transom window) and the breakfast room. It was very comfortable and included soaps and other products from the hotel's Powder Room brand. Breakfast was the usual for B & B hotels: oatmeal, bagels and breads, hard-boiled eggs, yogurts, coffee, and fruits. There is only one table in the breakfast room and it was occupied by people having a noisy meeting the morning that we were there, so we used trays to take breakfast back to our room. FYI, the hotel has no elevator and you need to put out the "please service room" sign in order to have your room cleaned and get fresh linens. We missed it because it was flipped around and not visible on the door handle!

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.
