This is a wonderful non cookie cutter hotel. It is less than four minute walk to Aspen gondola and less than two minutes to free public bus for Snowmass. It simply could not be more convenient.
There is no elevator from the entrance to the lobby so if you cannot manage stairs you will have a problem. The elevator works from lobby to the rooms.

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!

Underwhelming if well intentioneded.
Heat did not work properly during a severe cold snap. Had to get two space heaters in order to keep the room decently warm. Staff was helpful and sympathetic, but it was an issue to stay warm.also, the breakfast is particularly underwhelming. also one annoying thing was there was no bathrobe in my room so it was really freezing to go up on the roof and get in the hot tub and then make it back inside. Other people said they had bath robes, but there was not one in my room.
