    Very dog friendly

    We stayed for 4 nights with our two beagles. The grounds are gorgeous Ouray is beautiful. River's Edge has such a nice area to walk your dog and there is a dog park right next door. Always busy though. The owners are so nice and I feel bad for them that some people didn't pick up after their dog! Nice grassy areas but poop here and there. The interiors were really outdated and need some TLC but we would stay there again because of the grounds and people. Beware of the stairs going to the rooms. We were on the 1st floor but there still are like 6 stairs. All a metal grate. Our dogs were afraid of them and we had to carry them up and down. I do think there little feet/legs could fall through.

    No laundry or hot tub

    One of the reasons we stayed here was we had been camping for a week and wanted to do laundry. The front desk person told us that there was laundry and two hot tubs. The washing machine had been broken over a month (said the sign on it) and there was only one hot tub with green suspicious water in it. The refrigerator didn't work, the bathroom fan was crazy loud, the breakfast is a packaged muffin in a plastic bag... you get it. It is a lodge that COULD be very nice but feels neglected and cheaply run. From what we paid for our two nights they could buy a brand new washing machine -- why not? On the other hand, it is next to the creek with a big lawn for our dog to run around on. That was nice. The woman at the front desk tried to help, she was very friendly. Overall, we would not come back here.

    Great Location

    On the river and walk to Main St. John & Laura are the owners and very accommodating. The bed was awesome. Woke up for the first time with no back ache.

    Friendly with amazing views!

    My room in this family-owned motel (#25) was very clean and comfortable. No musty smells and a very clean bathroom. It was small, but perfect for 1 person and my medium-sized dog. Upon check-in, the owner asked a lot of questions related to my dog, such as whether I brought a blanket to cover the bedspread and whether I had poop bags. I appreciated that because his vigilance meant that the place would be more likely to be clean. I also felt bad for him because it sounds like he's encountered some irresponsible dog owners.

    He and his daughter both warned me that the stairs to the second floor were grated, which many dogs have trouble with. My dog did -- it seems like she can't discern the stair part and just saw air. I didn't have a problem carrying her up and down, but that might be a problem for bigger dogs. But again, I was sufficiently warned before making the reservation. I slept through breakfast, but it sounded good (basic stuff like hard boiled eggs, yogurt, etc). It's on a side street, off the hustle of main street. And the setting is amazing with a spectacular view of the mountains and right on the edge of a flowing river (as the name suggests.) I didn't use the hot tubs (open 24 hours) or the patio (with a fire pit at night) except to walk through while my dog sniffed her way toward the dog park conveniently located right behind the motel. I'd stay again for sure.

    Best Dog Hotel In Ouray

    What a great spot right next to the river and a dog park around the corner. The owners are amazing and deserve your business. Plus, Ouray is gorgeous. Get to this place as soon as you can.

    Friendly welcome

    Situated along the river and next to a dog park, this hotel is perfectly located. Except for a couple of rooms, all others require steps to be climbed. The steps are metal grates, so this could be a challenge for some dogs. Rooms are pretty standard - could do with some upgrading but they were clean.

    Clean but small

    It is an old place, but that was expected. The room was small but clean. If the room had been bigger I would have extended my stay. I have a big dog.

    Clean with friendly staff

    Great location with a dog park located directly behind the motel, abundant nearby areas to walk "fido". Overall good experience would not hesitate to book this motel again.

    Great location

    Close to downtown Ouray. Clean, updated rooms. The walls were a bit thin however, and the stairs outside are made of metal and loud when used by other guests, so if you do stay, I’d recommend a top floor room if possible.

    Under Construction?

    If it wasn't, it should be. No special dog perks, but good location and the manager provided a good dog-friendly restaurant recommendation.

    Poor Customer Service

    Nice grassy areas for walking and potty breaks. Management was unresponsive to several service requests.
