    We recently had the chance to visit Ouray on a quick trip from Las Vegas to Denver and were able to stay at the China Clipper for one night. Hans is very friendly and a very good cook. He is also very helpful with ideas for food and entertainment in Ouray. They completly understand the importance of customer satisfaction. We had a small hiccup during our stay, and Hans went above and beyond what was required to rectify the situation. We would definitetly recommend staying here if you get the oppurtunity.


    Return visit still great

    We first visited China Clipper Inn about 6 months after Hans and Ingrid bought the property. We found the Inn to be beautiful and well kept, the rooms each carefully decorated, and the amenities pleased us very much. 2 years later, Hans and Ingrid have continued their high level of service and friendliness. Spotless rooms, upgraded TVs, a new hot tub, and the best breakfast in town. Usual breakfast practice is a buffet of eggs, potatoes, and ham, with plentiful additional options. If you are fortunate to be there on a lighter occupancy day, Hans will prepare Eggs Benedict for you, and he excels at this. We highly recommend this establishment.


    We will be coming back again for sure!

    The stay was totally worth the money. China Clipper Inn is only a short walk away from anything you will need in town. The rooms were very nice and the hosts were extremely helpful when it came to giving their advice on things to do around town. We were both blown away by the very delicious full breakfast as well. Instead of paying $25 to $30 a day for a great start to the morning at a breakfast restaurant in town, put that money towards your stay at the China Clipper Inn. Nothing beats waking up, walking a few steps to a wonderful scenic dining area, grabbing some tasty coffee, and enjoying a fantastic breakfast with your loved one(s).

    Our wedding anniversary is December 31. Besides the fun atmosphere of New Year's Eve and the beauty of Ouray in the winter we love staying at the China Clipper to celebrate our anniversary because it is a beautiful house, clean, quiet, and friendly. This will be our 3rd time staying and we don't really want to stay any where else!
