Disliked: Cleanliness
Spider nest and multiple spiders in the corner of the heater in the bathroom, they had been there a while. Lots of construction adjacent to the property. Obviously not their fault but better signage for the rear entrance would have been nice instead of having to drive through the construction zone. Beds were comfy and the shower was nice.

Great stay - definitely recommend

We had a great stay at the ASPENALT! The room is a bit dated but exceptionally clean and a fantastic location, walking distance to everything in town. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus. Would definitely stay here again!

Very minor quibbles but would stay again

It was fine, except that they really need a visible sign to locate the office. I wasn't the only one walking around searching for it. Also, there was a ceiling fan in the room that did not work. There was a remote for it (unlabeled), but it didn't function. It would have been nice on a warm night. Third thing, the (incorrect) clock on the microwave had a bright blue light that I had to cover up.

If you dont need AC, and a ceiling fan will do, you can be right on the Frying Pan River! You can sit at table & chairs outside your room and enjoy your coffee, or go right down to the river and sit on benches or go wading! Other buildings in the complex do have AC. There's also a riverside restaurant next door, a bus stop for a nice bus to either Aspen or Glenwood, and a walkable old town Basalt. Loved it here!

When looking at pictures of property, looked charming next to river and quiet. Reality is there are 3 buildings that make up property and we were in the one building located in the strip mall parking next to construction site, as of June 2025. We were disappointed not to be next to river. Bed was old, creaky and uncomfortable.

The location was perfect - out of the hustle and bustle of Glenwood Springs but close enough for the activities that we had planned. Room cleaned daily and parking was originally a concern since right next to the restaurants & shops but ended up being a non-concern. Nice healthy continental breakfast as well.

We stayed in building "B", and I am leaving this review to share a funny (and somewhat problematic) story. I think there have been some fairly recent updates, including some new ceiling fans. Long story short- the fans have RF remotes, and at least some of them are sharing a frequency. I woke up at 1am- my fan was off, and the light was on. In fixing it- with my remote, I am pretty sure that I also toggled one of my neighbors lights on, and reset his fan. And so the battle of the fans began. In retrospect, it's humorous- not so much when you're trying to get to sleep in the middle of the night. Hotel is in a great area, rooms were clean and well kept.
