Stayed twice over the course of a week, 2 different rooms. Overall a great location right in the heart of Aspen, but the negative is that you will have some noise outside later in the evenings. Rooms are basic but quite clean and with some nice character. Breakfast is basic but appreciated, as everything in town is expensive.

Location is great, walk distance from the gondola, restaurants and shopping area. The hotel room was well maintained. Breakfast was bad(Motel 6 quality) for the price it was a shame, and no parking! Finding parking in Aspen downtown is painful. We were fined $100 for parking at Aspen St “near” a do-not-park sign, our car barely touched the no-parking zone.
Two issues:
Difficult to find enough plugs for my phone, laptop, electric tooth brush, hearing aids.
One already started roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. Fortunately there were kleenex.
Other than these issues, the staff was fantastic and the location great

Great location. Quite possibly the stiffest bed I’ve ever slept in.
Prime location , our room was small but workable for three people. Staff was pleasant and helpful, Check-in was a breeze. Breakfast was basic but hit the spot. Steps from transport hub and Ajax gondola , and very central within Aspen village , very short walk to many restaurants and shops. Overall great stay.
It was LOUD. Not sure if it was because it's summer and people outside, but the hotel is surrounded by restaurants and a music venue. Plus the alley way is next to hotel and could hear the garbage trucks early morning. Didn't sleep at all! Parking is terrible. Had to TRY to find parking along designated areas with a permit. Parked about five blocks away. The positive is it's an excellent location, walkable to everything.
Outstanding location and our room was updated to ‘very cool’ and comfortable.

Nice room with lots of closet space. Very clean. Excellent location in the downtown core. Staff is only there 9-5 which seems strange but worked out fine. The roof top has a hot tub and great view.
