The location is great. The bar across the street is loud at closing. Close to everything. Beds were average. This particular unit was very run down. Worn carpet, peeling “ leather” furniture, scratched table, lamp without a lamp shade. Really just stayed for the location

The location of the property was excellent. The worst part about room 213 were the beds they were terrible. They need to be replaced. They all sag into the middle. The bathrooms have cobwebs in them. The air conditioning was loud. I also noticed the certificate of inspection for the elevator was expired.

We loved this place. Incredibly convenient to catch the ski bus to all the mountains (Aspen's main bus stop is right outside the door). The rooftop hot tub is amazing. I'll be back.

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.

This is a very old hotel in the core of Aspen and you could not pay me to stay here again. Noisy , run down and lack of consistent hot water. I rarely complain about hotels but this place is a complete disaster and should be avoided!

Pro: Great location for walking in Town and one block to Little Nell. We had unit #250 which has a great bathroom. Con: The street noise was annoying facing Cooper Avenue. We had no dishes or flatware and just one wine glass, had to get some basics from the store. This is our second stay here and will come again.

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.
