The greatest advantage of this motel is proximity to the downtown area--one block away--and yet it's not a very nice place to sleep in the summer time! With NO air conditioning and just one small fan to clear the hot daytime air, it takes some time to fall asleep! If ONLY there was an outlet under the bedroom window, it... More

Great front desk help, quiet room. The fan in the room helped to move the air around. Lots of parking, no problems. We enjoyed staying here for one night. The town was full of people for a jeep rally. When we went to the visitor information center, they told us that almost everything in town was full but they called... More

I saw the room and left. It was probably built in the early 1900's but the outside looks okay. Really nice lady at the front desk. But when I looked in the room, there was no vent fan or anything. If you want to have any air in the room, you have to open the front window and the curtains... More

Hi, don't know what happened in '09 but this summer this place was great. We were camping and got rained out (two nights of heavy rain was all my tent could take). We tried a number of hotels and being unwilling to spend $200+ for one night, ended up here. The people were great. They clearly live there. The rooms... More

Pros: The woman at the counter was polite, professional and helpful. The view is amazing. The place was very clean and the price was affordable for those traveling on the cheap. Cons: This place needs to be renovated. The beds and furniture are '70's vintage. There is no air conditioning in the rooms and the lack of ventilation is stifling... More

After reading the reviews posted on Tripadvisor I decided to book a room at the Matterhorn which referenced new management and a good place to stay. The manager was very helpful for me but the motel itself was a cause for concern for me. First, missing window screens meant anyone could just step through my window. Second, the bannister on...

After reading the poor reviews, I was hesitant to stay here but only had a few choices. I was very happy with the motel and the service. The area is gorgeous and the room was clean and comfy overall (we were glad that we had our own pillows though, since theirs were quite hard). The pool was cold but the... More

Stay away. I'm a musician who lives in motels 6 months out of the year. I've never stayed in a place that is so disrespectful of the guests. Can't say enough bad things about this place. More

The Matterhorn has new owners as of mid September. We were told by a guest that they had seen this review and almost did not stay here because of it but they were happy that they had decided to give us a try. We hope others will understand that this review was written prior to our ownership of the hotel... More

We needed a place to stay in Ouray for one night of our 3-week Colorado adventure, and picked the Matterhorn because the price was right ($89.00 for 2 Queens mid-week). It turned out to be one of the best motels we've ever stayed in! The rooms were immaculate and spacious, with spectacular views of the mountains in Ouray. Our little... More
