Our check in was great and staff was very friendly. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Lots of construction on site so the mornings were loud but I'd stay again.

Had no idea I would be waking up to a construction site at 7am. Equipment and workers were within feet of our door working. Nothing like waking up to generators and your walls shaking. We were not warned and our corner unit should not be even used - or at least given at a very discounted price. We checked out after one night.
Everything else was clean, beds were somewhat comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful as well.

We had an excellent experience at this small hotel. The breakfast was great, and the location is very convenient if you’re on a budget and plan to use the free bus at Brush Creek Park & Ride. Free parking made things even easier, and it was simple to travel to Aspen, Snowmass, and other nearby areas.
The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful, solving any issues quickly and easily. We didn’t travel with pets, so we didn’t need to worry about any pet fees, which was a plus for us. We would definitely stay here again when we visit Snowmass.

Room was clean and had everything we needed, bathroom was clean and updated, sheets nice and crisp. My only complaint would be the carpet while in good condition looks old and you gotta wonder how clean it is

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.

Best value accomodation in the Roaring Fork Valley. Easy driving to all local ski resorts and numerous good value dining options within walking distance.
