“Wonderful Boutique Historic Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2010

We enjoyed our stay at the St. Elmo! It's small--maybe eight rooms, but everything is historic. It's like traveling back in town.

Room are small, although well appointed. The bathroom is tiny, only a shower and toilet. Sink and mirror are actually at the far end of the room. Our room had two period sitting chairs with a small table in between.

The hotel is located at the south end of town. Short walks to restaurants and shops. Very nice complementary breakfast--juices, fruits, breads, a few hot items. Staff was quite friendly and helpful. There is an upscale Italian restaurant on site.

“Wonderful Retreat!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010

person found this review helpful

This place was beautiful. I admit I was nervous because my previous stay at another hotel in town was not a great one, however this totally surprised me! The fact that they were able to carry the Victorian theme throughout the whole Inn made it magical and very relaxing. St. Elmo's is located on Main Street and easy walk to anywhere in town. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Don't forget to check out the Bon Ton, it is a little pricey but so worth it!

“Charming B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2010

person found this review helpful

We recently stayed at this restored turn of the century inn, and were so delighted with this historic inn and town. It has been restored to its original victorian charm, and you feel like you stepped back in time from the moment you walk through the door. The inn was immaculate, the service was excellent, and the morning breakfasts were absolutely delicious! It was such a pleasant stay, we can't wait to go back. It was one of our favorite spots during our two week western adventure!

“Take Victorian Literally”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009

Clean, with an excellent breakfast. Close in downtown, easy walk to rest of Ouray. Bed left a lot to be desired, was not the pillow top mattress advertised. Friends room had wash basin in room, not in bathroom. Restaurant was too pricey for our budget although other friends said it was excellent. No TV's or phones in rooms.

“charming rooms and superb breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2009

We've found casually the hotel, and when we've entered in the room we realized it was a very good price for the value.
The rooms (#3) was charming and really well furnished. Absolute cleanliness over all, and the morning after we experienced a great breakfast with a very nice and courteous staff.
A very nice experience.
