Location. Location. Location.
The location is supreme. Right in the heart of everything. Loading and navigating luggage is difficult. Parking is inconvenient. Breakfast is minimalistic. The staff worked hard to compensate. In our room (double beds), one bed was sunken in the middle for some reason. The room was cheerful with nice views.

The location is the best! The building is old but our apartment was spacious. We always enjoy the music festival and there is nightly music across the street.

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.

Perfect location. Short walk to Aspen and even shorter walk to the free shuttle bus to get to the other three mountains.
