Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, but the noise from the alley was a downside. The service was exceptional, but the location could be noisy at night due to nearby bars. The facilities were good overall, however, parking was highlighted as a problem.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room was well thought out with a super comfortable king bed and an updated bathroom with nice finishes. Although the room was a bit small, it was very spacious overall. The service I received was impeccable, with the staff being very helpful throughout my stay. The location was perfect, just across the street from the free transit system, making it convenient to explore the Aspen Snowmass area. The dining experience was more than adequate, offering a variety of options. The facilities were great, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and well-equipped with a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, making it very convenient. However, the room temperature was a bit warm in the 80s and stifling at times, which was slightly uncomfortable. The service was exceptional with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The location was perfect with easy access to the free transit system for exploring Aspen Snowmass, but navigating directions could be a bit tricky with the old school system in place. The dining options were minimal, starting later in the morning, which may not be ideal for early risers. Despite these minor issues, the hotel provided great value for money overall.
The hotel is beautifully decorated, with spacious rooms and a nice seating area which is great for a quick visit. The bathroom was very nice and the service was wonderful. The location is hard to beat, right in the middle of the action. The dining experience, while decent, was not outstanding. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel had beautifully decorated rooms and common areas, cozy and well-maintained. The location overlooking the alleyway of the club next door was lively but could get noisy. The service was friendly but not overly so, and the hotel offered convenient amenities like dry cleaning and tours. The dining experience was standard with a continental breakfast. A great spot in the heart of Aspen for those wanting to be in the middle of the action.
