St. Elmo Hotel

Overall good stay. Hot tub wasn't working properly so it was a hot soaker tub. Staff was amazing. Great homemade breakfast, and they are super friendly. I'd stay again.

Quaint place, no AC, but good fans for the cool temps usually found in Ouray, nice big windows to open. Greaet location for the one Main Street in town, nice dinner next door at the Bon Ton (higher end food / prices). Ouray Brewery 1 block down. Old world charmy feel of hotel, creaky stairs, nice staff. Nice breakfast from 8-9a.

The staff is super nice and helpful. Historic building and decor. Breakfast was made that morning - eggs, hash browns. Bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes (plain, strawberry), fresh fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee. Amazing! Hot tub was lovely and what a view!

Cool 19th century hotel, right in the middle of town. Walk everywhere. The only complaint I had was the beds. They sag in the middle, which isn't a problem if you're alone. They should probably be platform beds. The hotel was retrofitted with en suite bathrooms, obviously. But everything works! Parking on the street right out front was no problem. Very secure and really pretty.

Comfortable stay in this historic hotel. Friendly greeting upon arrival & we were shown around the ground floor - lounge, breakfast room, parking etc. Room was clean and spacious. Freshly cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious and more than adequate for the day ahead. We were aware there is no lift, so packed a small overnight bag accordingly.

No elevator. No Air conditioning. No fridge. No micro. No TV, No handheld shower. No coffeemaker in room. No hair dryer, No counterspace in bathroom (except on the sink itself and top of toilet water flushing unit). There is a minor shelf next to the mirror. No telephone in the room. Only one nightstand lamp on one side of the bed. Plastic cups provided are not hygenic (not sealed in plastic film). Insufficient lights in room (one nightstand lamp, one mirror lamp and one table lamp in the sitting area of the room. Only the lamp by the mirror spreads (some small amount of) light outward. Some of the wall sockets do not work. When I left in the morning at 7 am no staff available to help me down the difficult stairs with my suitcase. Internet speed was good. No mold in bathroom, I have stayed in a couple of Hiltons that were quite moldy in bathroom.

Hotel is very clean bathroom shower was hot. Be aware no AC in this facility and no tv in the room. Otherwise a wonderful hotel

Wonderful old hotel in center of town. Very well maintained. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. No television in room but if you must see the tv they have a tv room.

We were excited to stay at this historic hotel in early August. Unfortunately, the historical aspect of the hotel also includes a lack of air conditioning. We were provided with a box fan, but it was little help when the windows had no screens and therefore couldn't be opened overnight to cool the room down. The bathroom in the standard room was so small that we banged our elbows on the walls when we tried to move around. The bed was very creeky and old, with no sheet on the boxspring. We had high hopes for this hotel, but unfortunately, we will not be returning in the future.

Nice old Victorian hotel. Nicely restored with a lot of old furnishings still in use, like dressers, reupholstered furniture, etc. No TV, refrigerator, microwave, phone, or clock/radio in the room, and I didn't miss any of these things; no air conditioning, but none is needed, either. One thing I did miss was useable, functioning internet. There's free Wifi, but the internet is so slow it was unusable for anything other than checking e-mail. Other than that, I'd recommend the St. Elmo to anyone who likes Victorian-style lodging in Ouray.

We usually travel to Ouray after Christmas each year, first time staying at St Elmo hotel, we absolutely loved it!! It’s a beautiful antique/vintage style hotel, lots of history! The housekeeper was super friendly & the rooms very clean. They have free breakfast each morning with eggs, homemade grits, pancakes, the works!!! It was so good, served fresh by their amazing cook!! We will definitely stay here next Christmas!!

Very comfortable and quiet. Could use a few maintenance touches (lights, fans) to make sure everything working properly. Great breakfast and nice staff!

Nice, clean property with great location. At check-in desk clerk was very accommodating. Very quiet. No TV in room. Breakfast only from 8-9 am. No one on duty after hours. When I called with emergency in the middle of the night, I was told "I'm an hour away and I'm not coming down there."

This Victorian hotel was fun to stay and had comfortable rooms with updated bathrooms. Loved it! The included breakfast was made to order and a nice perk. The owner was informative with recommendations yet not overbearing. We hope to be back and stay again. Ouray is worth many a visit! Attached restaurant for dinner was excellent!

Great 1night stay. Rooms were very clean, staff was very friendly and the breakfast was so good. Definitely would stay here again.

It is difficult to give stars to an inconsistent experience. The woman who made the breakfast and cleaned the rooms was very nice and customer focused. This hotel needs some attention in the sense that your average traveler expects more. Things that need attention are: making sure that there is coffee before 8:00 and assuring that the coffee in the breakfast room has been delivered. The gal making the breakfast could only apologize that the supplies were not delivered. I happened to wander around the main floor at 7:30 and discovered a Keurig in a back room by the ice machine. The back room needed attention. The breakfast each morning was a warm sweet pastry, white toast, and cold cereal. I heard several patrons ask about eggs and other typical breakfast offerings. This is a problem for travelers paying the price to stay here. Room # 7 had 2 queen beds which we needed and were adequate. The bathroom, had a shower that was so tight and there was not a shelf to place shampoo etc., except the floor. I talked to one of the new mgmt. team and expressed my observations. While it is an old hotel with lots of charm it is in need of some upgrading. My conversation with the mgmt. team person was cordial and he let me know of some of the minor upgrades they were thinking about. I believe that you can keep the ambiance of a historic hotel with more welcoming upgrades.

This property is a beautiful historic hotel. We stayed in the King’s room. It was lovely and had a sitting area. The hotel is located in the middle of town… so very walkable to nature, shops and bars/eateries. The surrounding area is stunning! The breakfast was delicious. We had a short order Cook that made eggs and pancakes in real time. Got up at 2 AM in the morning and saw two bears (walking behind the facility) from our bedroom window. I read that bears are common in this area…something to be aware of. Should mention that the rooms do not have TV’s… but there is a TV room near the lobby. The hotel interior has been very well maintained and really shows off its Victorian architecture.

Very quaint. Clean. Vintage facility

Beautiful historic room with clean updated a suite bathroom. Quiet and cozy. A romantic stay away from the kids.

Cute old Victorian rooms- hotel does get hot. They did provide fans in room. Nice breakfast. Great staff!

Everything was great except the bed was very uncomfortable

Liked the layout of the room(s). The bed was very comfortable, however, I have knee problems and had to have help getting up into it. Had Keurig Coffee Maker in room - no coffee pods, only two mugs (room sleeps 6 and they knew there were 5 of us). No sugar. End of hall community coffee maker - very few coffee pods. No cups. The private patio was fantastic. Loved it, we had a very enjoyable evening. The breakfast was wonderful. The lady making the breakfast was very accomodating.

Wonderful hotel, friendly & helpful staff. Beautiful room. Breakfast was a bit overstated; just bread that could be toasted and fruit. We’ve stayed here twice and would stay here again.

No air conditioning terribly hot tiny room. Opened windows at night they had no screens so insects were a problem. Also on first floor we didn’t feel safe. Old pillow and blankets. No outlets uncomfortable bed. Terrible nights sleep

Very nice Victorian decor. Nice reception & staff pleasant. Be ready to go back in time. Room very very small. Poor insulation between rooms since you can hear others talking easily. Old building but needs some renovations. Squeeky stairs. Super friendly reception for breakfast.

Very nice historical hotel. The period era furnishings were a nice touch. Bed was a little uncomfortable but that could be preference. No TV in our room but didn’t need one. The sitting area was great. Homemade breakfast was EXCELLENT!!! Walking distance to everything in town.

Adorable hotel with a lovely breakfast. Walls are a little thin but great location.

Staff was friendly and welcoming and we had a wonderful stay. We would stay again!

Great hotel and restaurant next door! The staff was super nice!

Comfortable stay in this historic hotel. Friendly greeting upon arrival & we were shown around the ground floor - lounge, breakfast room, parking etc. Room was clean and spacious. Freshly cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious and more than adequate for the day ahead. We were aware there is no lift, so packed a small overnight bag accordingly.

Check-in was smooth. The restaurant was closed the first two days of our visit which was part of why we booked there. The breakfast in "bed and breakfast" was a very scaled down continental breakfast - one type of danish, coffee, tea, fruit, dry cereal. Duration was 1 hour. One morning, the staff was not there on time and a line of guests outside the door had formed. The coffee hadn't been emptied from the night before and no food was out. When staff arrived, they started the coffee which overflowed because they hadn't emptied the pot first. I think the owners should consider a better breakfast option or change their claim that it's a bed and breakfast hotel. Also, if you book, don't ask for Room 10, it is front and center of the lobby, right inside the front door to the hotel - so lots of noise until late at night when other guests return to their room, and early as folks check out. What was amazing was the en suite sauna/steam bath and shower, and comfortable bed/bedding. Front desk staff were also courteous and helpful.

Nice, clean property with great location. At check-in desk clerk was very accommodating. Very quiet. No TV in room. Breakfast only from 8-9 am. No one on duty after hours. When I called with emergency in the middle of the night, I was told "I'm an hour away and I'm not coming down there."

Small room with no amenities. Rooms were freezing. And the staff was not their until the morning to address issues. Other guests were loud and disrespectful.

No one there to check us in. Door was locked. 2 hours later someone had to come in on day off for us to finally get checked in, WiFi did not work, hot water not working and heat ran regardless of thermostat setting. Overall would never stay here again. Morgan, who finally came in on her day off was wonderful, but that was the only thing good about this stay.

Kind staff. Cute rooms. Cozy and relaxing.

Excellent, warm cozy and very friendly

Everyone at the hotel was helpful and pleasant. The front desk manager, Morgan, was friendly and provided lots of information on restaurants and shopping in the area.

Right in the town center, very beautiful antique room

Our stay was very nice. Breakfast was included. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location in town was great!

Quaint place, no AC, but good fans for the cool temps usually found in Ouray, nice big windows to open.

Great location on Main Street. Friendly staff.

Well restored, maintained hotel, very welcoming and comfortable. The people were friendly. Hotel is on the main street and everything was within walking distance.

Great place and perfect location!

Attractive Victorian furniture and super location.

Ouray is full of restored Victorian properties, including this hotel. It is conveniently located on main street at the southern end of the town. Built in 1895, it is charming with numerous pieces of leaded glass, old, but well maintained, furnishing, including Victorian era settees, chairs, piano etc. Parking is extremely convenient, ten steps from the front door. It brings back what at the time was elegant travel. Rooms were moderate size, clean and comfortable but no a/c (it is in the mountains at 8,000) or tv (there is a large screen TV in the parlor. Staff were great. Absolutely recommend it.

This is a B & B and it is very quaint. Staff was excellent. The breakfast was a continental breakfast. We never found out why we didn’t get the made to order breakfast. That was a disappointment

Charming, historic hotel. It was an unusually hot day so A/C would have been nice. A TV in the room would be a plus. Breakfast should start earlier than 8a and some more hot options.
