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.

Overall excellent stay. Large, Updated room in old building. Comfortable bed, robes and towels provided for rooftop hot tub. Breakfast included fruit, bagels, toast, oatmeal packets, microwave burritos and Jimmy Dean sandwiches. Location in Aspen was central but parking included as website states does not mean you can park on site or nearby. The central area in Aspen you can’t park overnight except for motorcycles or scooters. We parked about a 5 minute walk away with a pass provided by the hotel. The room was great except for the fact there was little sound proofing- voices on street and street sweeping/construction at 6:30 am on a Monday morning were unexpected for a mountain getaway. The only con to the room was very small restroom with an awkward door configuration. Easy checkin and checkout, finding the entrance into the building is difficult to see from the street as shops occupied the lower floors. Enter on pedestrian court. Stairs going down into the building and then up once inside may pose difficulties for someone with mobility issues or unable to lift suit cases. Once in lobby nice elevator got us to our 3rd floor room.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The building could definitely use and upgrade and the unit I was in was oddly laid out and lacked a closet. It was also quite noisy through the windows. But the staff was friendly and helpful and the location is fantastic.

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.

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.

Staff is not there to help with check in after 5? No place to park your car and unload. Need to park in paid parking a block away to unload and then move your car to a far away area for overnight parking and check out you need to do the same. Not easy.

Being in downtown Aspen is a plus and a con. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Noisy parties happening at the restaurants and bars next to the hotel. Being a historic property, there is no soundproofing.

Charming spot and centrally located in downtown Aspen. As other reviewers have noted, parking is an issue, so for those who aren't particularly mobile and/or have lots of bags, you may want to bear that in mind if you book. But my room was lovely, and the location can't be beat. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, as well!

Good, small old hotel located downtown. Lobby and main entrance are located in basement with steep stairs. Difficult carrying roller luggage up and down stairs. No parking on property, street parking available several blocks outside of downtown area. Location is near bus station and near night club, very noisey especially on 2nd floor. I do not see the value, pricey rooms.

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!

Fantastic location! Old historic building snuggled at base of the mountain near the lifts with nicely renovated condo rooms for rent. The supplies in kitchen vary with each room. Ours had nothing but a couple of wine glasses, while another had fully equipped kitchen with silverware, plates, etc.

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.
