China Clipper Inn

We truly enjoyed our three nights here at the inn. The room was comfortable and the home is beautiful. Kristen, the innkeeper made sure we were comfortable and well cared for. The location is perfect and convenient, yet quiet. The breakfasts each day were different and delicious. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely stay here each time we visit in the future!

We recently stayed in Room 21 at the China Clipper Inn. After having a wonderful stay several years ago, we were disappointed with our return experience. The room was dirty and outdated, not at all what we expected. Despite booking for three people, the room was not properly set to accommodate us on arrival. To make matters worse, there were no cleaning services provided over our three night stay which only added to the discomfort. The only redeeming quality was the breakfast, but that is unfortunately not enough to make up for the high cost and low quality of room.

We just spent four nights at this wonderful B&B. We stayed in the Captain Quarters room, which was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Great location, just a short walk to shops and restaurants, yet away from the noise of being right on Main St. This inn is so fortunate to have such talented and dedicated employees. Kristin and Ansley know how to make their guests feel at home, as they graciously tend to every need and request. Not to mention the delicious cooked to order breakfasts each day! If you are visiting Ouray, this is where you want to stay! We look forward to returning next summer.

A welcoming place in winter Ouray. My schedule required leaving the sparsely occupied China Clipper well before the breakfast service so the staff took the time to prepare a very good breakfast for me individually. The place was quiet, elegant and comfortable, with a fireplace in our upstairs room and a well stocked library below. I would happily stay again.

This was a great find in a beautiful mountain town! The place is beautiful, quiet, clean and unique and the homemade breakfast was amazing! The owner is also kind and was a great host! We had a great stay and would highly recommend! We hope to be back!

While this property is being taken over by new owners, the on-site innkeeper, Kristen (and staff) will attend to your needs. Yes, the place could use a few TLC touchups here and there, but none of it is impactful to your stay. The place oozes character with antiques and so much more related to the China Clipper theme. The woodwork in the interior is very well done. Kristen makes breakfasts that are a work of art. Hot tub and garden area are wonderful. Lots of rooms and outdoor spaces across the inn to sit, relax. It is away from the main drag which is important, recommend parking in front. If you think this is expensive, we’ve come to Ouray for decades and there is such a thing as the prices during high summer, but we feel this to be reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend, but no dogs/pets/small children, which is fine by us. Thanks Kristen!

We loved staying at this charming Victorian B&B! The decor is beautiful. Our room was well appointed and had everything we needed. Kristin, the innkeeper, was personable and accommodating, willing and able to please. Her breakfasts were delicious! We spent the afternoons and evenings sitting on the front porch watching neighbors walk their dogs. We felt like we were at home. A very nice home! We will return.

China Clipper … My wife and I have been repeat lodgers here several times over the most recent 2.5 years. The Inn Keeper, Kristin, is excellent, and she is a major reason for staying at The Clipper being an excellent experience. The rooms we’ve stayed in were very comfortable, good bed, bathroom fine, breakfasts outstanding, and such. The location is only about 2 blocks from the Main Street. So, parking the car and leaving it works beautifully for walking to the shops and restaurants. Coffee and tea are always available. Last year, we stayed at The Clipper with our son and his wife, and the 4 of us had a wonderful stay. My wish is the The China Clipper remain for many years to come a fine BnB.

Ok I do not usually do dad reviews but the high rating must be based on previous owners as more recent reviews have suggested and they are right. We now have absentee owners. The price is a rip off for what is provided ie nothing Seriously give this place a miss we booked on what we now know is a past reputation.
