We loved our stay at the China Clipper. So close to everything and it's tough to beat the setting. Kristin is a wonderful host and the breakfasts each morning were spot on and delicious. The room didn't have a view and was a bit spartan, but very comfortable. Nobody ever used the hot tub and being that it was shoulder season, it wasn't terribly busy. We would most certainly stay again.

My wife and I had an amazing several day stay at the China Clipper Inn. It reminded us of a Bed and Breakfasts you see in the movies. The Inn Keeper, Kristen and son Rafe are amazing hosts. They do their best to ensure a great experience. The room was very nice and clean. The breakfast is incredible. You will not be disappointed. We are already wanting to plan a return trip.

This is one of the best kept secrets in Ouray for housing. Skip the big name hotels and stay in a quiet and unique environment with great friendly staff and a gourmet breakfast to cap it all off. Close to everything. For the last 18 years, I make it a point to stay here when I visit Ouray.
