Loved this place…amazing location in the heart of Aspen, steps away from the gondola. Staff was very friendly, we didn’t have a car so not sure about that aspect. We loved the hot tub on the roof and the complimentary breakfast was nice too!

Great place!

This was the PERFECT location to everything Aspen. You do not need a car for anything given the buses, shuttles, etc. which are all free are right outside your front door. If you are going to BellyUp, there is no better place to say. I know other reviews mentioned noise but it was super quiet from my condo. The stairs are VERY minimal so not sure what the other reviews are referencing. The front desk staff were kind and always available. The breakfast was just that...continental so you shouldn't expect more than that. In fact, they have more than I have seen at other continentals. Plus, you are just steps from sooooo many resteraunts so there are a plethora of options. The Independence Square is centrally located to all the shops as well. No car is necessary. Just take a car service from the Aspen Airport. Locals were amazing. The Aspen airport on the other hand...but that is a different review. I highly recommend Independence Square. This review is based on the condo I stayed in so choose wisely!! Actually view them and request the one you want.

Aspen X-Games & BellyUp

And helpful. In terms of hours worked, the staff was slammed via a surprise resignation. They were still always cheerful and helpful. They also put in extra time very early to ready the continental breakfast for those rugby tournament players in need of it at that time.

remarkably friendly

Lovely place, gracious staff, not high end but clean, well maintained and in a good location
Staff are very helpful and everything works in the room  easy to get to skiing, transportation, restaurants etc

CK review

This small hotel is in the heart of Aspen.  Be aware though that you have to go down two short flights of stairs to enter.  Not ideal for those who don't walk well.  No parking!  They give you a  hang tag for free parking in designated areas.  You may end up parking a quarter mile or more away.  Very challenging.  Room was clean.  Continental breakfast was okay too.

Excellent location

booked condominium 303 for 3 nights in prime holiday season as way of keeping the cost of a prime time trip down. The room was spacious with nice seating area...everything was clean and a comfy bed. Staff are minimal as you would expect...though very helpful...breakfast was a simple affair

Location is right by the bus station for the bus to other mountains....maybe a 3 minute walk from the silver queen gondola and centrally placed for shops and restaurants

the only slight issue was noise...from revellers in the street (its not too far from the bellyup club)....or worse was the snow cleaning crew starting at about 6am...so not a problem if it does not snow!

great location...good value in prime season

The Bad, I had to stay on the hide away couch which was broken and the couch pillow zippers were split.  After a second request they brought a roll-away.  When you enter from the street you have to go down a couple of sets of stairs to the lobby.  The continental breakfast is limited and starts at 7:30AM.  All that said the location is across the street from the free transit system that takes you anywhere in the Aspen Snowmass area.  Aspen Mountain gondola (Ajax to the locals) is 1 block from the front door.  The Hot tub is on the roof offering beautiful views.  Restaurants surround the hotel.  Super convenient!  The 4 stars are mainly for the location and convenience for skiing.

Location, Location, Little

I was greeted by a friendly person, but the lack of parking other than "on the street" is not ideal.  I had driven hours and didn't want to go figure out parking.  You need to fix this to go to the next level.  Room was excellent.  Updated. Good wifi.  But... tv didn't work correctly.  Great to have ac now!  Location is perfect.

Updated Rooms are very nice

After turning on the air conditioner in my room I noticed a foul smell. After opening it I saw that it hadn’t been cleaned for a very long time. The filters were caked with sediment and looked like a Petri dish. It was disgusting. I opened the windows to air out the room, but developed a headache. The front desk closed at 5 pm so I couldn’t change rooms (though I’m sure the AC in every room had the same problem). This is basic hygiene protocol - especially in the Covid-19 eras and  that this hotel messed up badly. I’ve never stayed in a hotel before that didn’t have an employee 15 hours a day. Definitely NOT recommended. 

Filthy air conditioner. No employee on site overnight.

If you intend to stay here and you have a car then good luck! 
They advertise “Free Parking” 
This place doesn’t have any car parking space. You have to hunt for a free parking spot on the street. Good luck with this!!!! Had to park almost 1.5miles away. 

Also, it’s not a hotel or B&B. They are privately owned condo’s which they rent per night etc... 

Book some where else as there are much better places available.
