This property is immaculately clean. I love the corner room with views and the deep soaking tub. Great at the end of a ski vacation. The restaurant, a branch of Aspen’s Ajax Tavern, lives up to the name. The entire staff is friendly and helpful.
Only a couple of downsides. Some things are showing a few signs of wear inside the room such as the desk and the shower grout. The management is great so I am sure they will fix it.
I choose to stay here for the great combination of convenience, comfort and style.

The hotel smelled really bad maybe from the restaurant? Almost like bad brócoli and staff wasn’t very friendly.
However the rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable and very beautiful.

The hotel is styled well and a great location. Rooms are large and well appointed. Check in staff is great. The restaurant/ bar definitely needs work in terms of service but they acknowledged and made it right by us - which is really all you can ask for when there is a problem.
