VERY old / unrenovated room. Dark (inadequate lighting). AC loud & unable to close window as AC system had a thick rubber hose from unit to exterior of the building through the window. Lots of blue tape securing hose - Not a good look. Aside from noise unable to close shutter on window because of the hose, so afternoon sun streamed onto bed. TV sometimes had no picture or sound. Shower 1970’s. Cleanliness poor - Left over toothpaste cap in bathroom & something blue in the room under table (didn’t investigate). All a bit depressing - Stayed out longer to avoid room. Not a 4 star, at best low end 3 star. Great location.

This was a cute hotel but we had a couple of issues. Our air conditioner would run for less than 5 minutes and then make a banging sound and stop. I complained and I was told that someone would look into it. Our room was on the side of the bus station and between the banging air conditioner not working and the people talking loud at the bus station at all hours, we had 2 nights of terrible sleep and we only stayed there 2 nights. If the air conditioner would have worked properly, it would have drowned out the noise at the bus station. I complained again when we were leaving to the guy at the front desk.. the same guy that said he would have the air conditioner looked at by maintenance, and he told me “well u are paid in full, have a nice day”. I seriously could not believe that he didn’t offer any discount. My other complaint is that you have to walk at least 3 or 4 blocks to find parking which was absolutely nuts. Although that hotel was cute, the other problems ruined it for us.

Very unique accommodation experience. Absolutely loved room in eclectic design, comfort, shower power, and quiet. Impressed how all rooms are of different decor. Ease in access to town dining and activities. Disappointed and surprised in challenge of checkin with transporting luggage from afar and parking arrangements beyond hotel. Complimentary breakfast was very basic. Rooftop with beautiful views of mountains and city, though unclean and weathered stairway. I had higher expectations given Aspen and cost of stay.

Rooftop views, right next to paradise bakery with live music each evening, A/C, free breakfast items, super comfy bed, all awesome! Only thing we didn't absolutely love was the noise from people leaving the bar across the street, some nights as late as 1:30a.m. Most rooms are probably quiet though, and it was still totally worth it!

The location is excellent! The rest is not worth the price tag. The room was dusty, and the blinds were broken when we arrived. We had problems with the door’s lock, too, and the staff wasn't helpful, leaving us with the challenge of trying to lock and unlock the door. Many times, it took us over 5 minutes. Later, a super lovely lady came and helped us out! Maybe I had bad luck with who was there for the first half of my stay. I love Aspen, and I know it can be pricy, but I don't think this one is worth it. For this price I would stay at another property.

This property is in the center of Aspen, and the location could not be better! Close (2 blocks) to Aspen Mountain gondola, near to many restaurants and shops. The staff at the property were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lackluster and really can use improvement. Our room was decent, but very worn and should be updated. Note, that due to its location is is very noisy at night (people, trucks, etc.), so it is not for you if you are a light sleeper.

Very convenient location but no parking on site, so be aware if you drive you have to park 3-4 blocks away. There is also no one to help with bags up to or down from the room. The room was great, very comfortable. And the roof top hot tub and patio is great with an awesome view.
