Very poorly lit and some windows either lacked a screen or the screen was torn.

Historic hotel with cute room and fulfilling breakfast.

We have absolutely no dislikes. But, if you have issues physically climbing stairs you might have to pass. All rooms are on the second floor with only staircase access. FYI - We do not have any physical issues but our host David still insisted with helping us with our luggage. Very nice!

My wife and I loved the entire St. Elmo experience, both the hotel and restaurant/bar. It's an historic gem of a hotel, lovingly restored and cared for. David is an exceptional host. Very, very comfortable with just enough "modern" updates so as to not distract from the fantastic step back in time. The restaurant food, and service, is also excellent. For the budget conscious like my wife and I, our stay at St. Elmo was a real splurge, but we do not regret it and will always remember it fondly.

Bar área and restaurant will be better soon! Stairs, but There’s no elevator.

This historic hotel is under new ownership so, as nice as it is now, pretty soon it’ll be even better. Check in was easy and we received a free drink at the bar of Bon Ton, the hotel’s restaurant. Decor is charming. Courtesy breakfast was great-fluffy pancakes and eggs to order in the breakfast room. Nice experience all ‘round!

The new owners of the property are exceptional people. They did everything to make our stay a wonderful experience in a historic hotel. The room and furnishings were historically correct. We will stay there again. It is a small and intimate property.

Beautiful old hotel decorated very nicely to match the era of the early 1900's. The lobby was gorgeous with lots of stained glass accents. There are only 11 rooms so it's cozy. Our room was very comfortable with windows that actually open. It was like staying with family more than staying in a modern motel. Loved it.

Water running by outside the open window made for a great sleep. Breakfast was hearty and tasty.

The staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast eggs were cooked to order and the chef was very friendly and accommodating. We really liked the decor that fit the time. For the location. The location could not have been better for enjoying the hiking trails and surrounding area.

everything was amazing

Took a long time to get hot water for shower. Room was furthest from street, so presumed to be at end of hot water line. Instantaneous HW heater would reduce water use.

Great, made to order breakfast.

You can hear EVERYTHING in this hotel from the other rooms. Every door opening and closing was clear as day and any talking in other rooms. People were generally respectful and keeping to quiet hours, but if you have any sensitivity to sounds during sleep, please bring earplugs. Also would be nice if the front desk had some ear plugs as well. Same goes for light sensitivity - the long rectangle windows above each door do not block any of the hallway light, so that was beaming directly onto out bed all night and made it harder to sleep as well - bring a eye mask if you have light sensitivity.

Prime location on Main Street in Ouray - can walk to almost anything from the hotel. Very cute rooms, staff was very friendly, and the fresh made breakfast in the dining room was an awesome way it end the stay!
