This place is the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. We had the suite with two double beds and a private bath. The matresses had to have been over 25 years old and sagged so bad my back was killing me the next morning. Before we could even get into the bed we had to change the sheets... more

we really wish we had known about this place before we hit ouray. never having been to this gorgeous mountain village before, we made reservations at a best western, figuring that would be fine. the best western WAS fine. suddenly, fine seemed like not good enough when we--by chance--walked into the lobby of this 1891 hotel. talk about stepping back... more

I was really looking forward to staying at this hotel after reading the previous reviews as I am a fan of old historic hotels and wanted a different lodging experience other than the typical chain motel room. I called the owner of Historic Western Hotel back in mid-August to make my reservation. He seemed nice enough on the phone then... more

We stayed one night in room 9. We spent most of the night reading the entries in the journal from previous visitors. There were allot of marriage proposals and anniversaries there. We didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant, but the town is absolutely gorgeous. Were definitely gonna be vacationing there next summer! more

Like some of the other reviewers, we wanted to stay somewhere other than a regular chain hotel. We booked the (blue) suite which was very lovely and were very satisfied with our experience at the hotel. It was fun to walk around and look into the other rooms that were not occupied at the time and for the most part,... more

I want to know more about the flavor of the old west than I'm able to pick up from the movies "Maverick" and "True Grit" and for that I'm truly glad I stayed at the Historic Western Hotel. Furthermore, I'm glad I read all the reviews before my late December stay. Although I disagree with most of what was said... more

Having been in Ouray some 18 years ago, I knew I wanted my family to experience a little history from the West in this beautiful setting. So in July, since there were four of us, we stayed in the only room with two beds which was the suite. It was extremely clean and where else can you really take a... more

I stayed at the Western Hotel on June 2 2003. I had nothing but a great experience. I read a comment earlier from some guests that did not like the stay. Well, they complained about the cold, no phone, and bad experience with the staff. Well, that should make them even more appreciative of what they have now, and also... more

Wow, maybe the season makes the difference, because last August my Husband and I had the best experience of our lives at the Historic Western Hotel. We checked in around 1:00 and was greated immediatley by a very helpful girl behind the counter. We were showed up to our room (which was only $35, by the way) and walking up... more
