Any room facing the main street will be loud in the evenings on the weekends as the hotel is next to belly-up and the line forms right next to the hotel entrance. If you’re a light sleeper, probably not where you want to be. However, the views from the top floors are fantastic. Pick your poison. Other than that, great spot and highly recommend.

Underwhelming if well intentioneded.

Heat did not work properly during a severe cold snap. Had to get two space heaters in order to keep the room decently warm. Staff was helpful and sympathetic, but it was an issue to stay warm.also, the breakfast is particularly underwhelming. also one annoying thing was there was no bathrobe in my room so it was really freezing to go up on the roof and get in the hot tub and then make it back inside. Other people said they had bath robes, but there was not one in my room.

December Stay (2024)

The location is key, right in the middle of Downtown Aspen with shops and restaurants all around and with a 2 min walk to the gondola. The negatives are that the hotel is very outdated. The windows in our room had gaps between the frame and the building wall creating a draft at all times and making it loud from outside noises. The thermostat did not work (would not go up above 67 F). When taking a shower hot water would run out so I had to wash my hair with cold water =(

This is a wonderful non cookie cutter hotel. It is less than four minute walk to Aspen gondola and less than two minutes to free public bus for Snowmass. It simply could not be more convenient. There is no elevator from the entrance to the lobby so if you cannot manage stairs you will have a problem. The elevator works from lobby to the rooms.

The room was decorated very nicely and the furniture was comfortable. The staff was willing to help solve some initial issues we had immediately with our room, and their service was fantastic. The breakfast was okay. Mostly premade. We had the biggest issue with parking. The property’s description said it had off site parking, and it was actually 3 blocks away.

Overall excellent stay. Large, Updated room in old building. Comfortable bed, robes and towels provided for rooftop hot tub. Breakfast included fruit, bagels, toast, oatmeal packets, microwave burritos and Jimmy Dean sandwiches. Location in Aspen was central but parking included as website states does not mean you can park on site or nearby. The central area in Aspen you can’t park overnight except for motorcycles or scooters. We parked about a 5 minute walk away with a pass provided by the hotel. The room was great except for the fact there was little sound proofing- voices on street and street sweeping/construction at 6:30 am on a Monday morning were unexpected for a mountain getaway. The only con to the room was very small restroom with an awkward door configuration. Easy checkin and checkout, finding the entrance into the building is difficult to see from the street as shops occupied the lower floors. Enter on pedestrian court. Stairs going down into the building and then up once inside may pose difficulties for someone with mobility issues or unable to lift suit cases. Once in lobby nice elevator got us to our 3rd floor room.
