We stayed at this hotel thinking it would be really cool to stay at an historic hotel and we are big into staying at family run smaller places and B&B's when we travel. So we thought hey this looks nice, mind you it was off season, January. We show up in the evening to a dark locked hotel, we called... More

This hotel is really nice! It is like travel to old times! It feels really authentic! We were the only guests and we got the king size bedroom with private bathroom! The only disappointing thing is that the bathtub was quite old and not heated enough. More

Loved this hotel....the staff was friendly and willing to help out with anything. Loved the old west feeling with no phone or TV in room. The claw bathtub was cool, too. More

Maintenance of the hotel needs improvement. The blinds were broken and fell out of the window, and the shower curtain was secured by a piece of plastic wrap. My biggest concern was the smoke alarm sitting on a shelf without a battery. This historical hotel has potential if more effort was placed into maintenance and restoration. More

I am staying here for one week and have two nights left. The owner and his family have been great, they are very willing to please. The only thing I would like is WIFI, there is access from down the street, but it can't be counted on. Next door, Switzerland of America, wouldn't give me access to theirs. Also, this... More

We stayed for a night in the Historic Western Hotel. The owner was very friendly, told us about the historic of the (120 year old) hotel and showed us the saloon. He also opened the bar and we could drink a beer. The hotel is great, becaue it is very authentic and most parts are original. Location - Ouray is... More

Enroute to San Diego from New Hampshire by motorcycle me and my wife found ourselves in Ouray, late in the afternoon, tired from the winding Rt550 and wanting to call it a day. Unfortunately Ouray was crowded for some reason and luckily there were no rooms available any wheres but the HWH. What a treat. We loved it and it... More

I am one all for history and that kind of thing and expected that from the Historic Western Hotel. I had come to the area because my friend was getting married and I was looking for an affordable place to stay and so I came across this place. The lobby was beautifully done, but I got a little worried when... More

There is only one shower per wing with five rooms and it had a pair of dirty underwear hanging in it all day and all night. The carpet was disgusting looking and musty smelling. The food in the restaurant was ok but the service was very slow. This would be a pretty neat place if the owner would just put... More

After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, I thought this hotel would be fun for our daughter and have more character than a chain motel. Unfortunately, the 'character' was just a dilapidated old building with the filthiest carpet i've ever seen. I did not want my kids to touch anything and seriously questioned whether or not we should even stay. Upon... More
