Pros:

HVAC and Televisions both out last day. No communication by hotel staff. They gave only a $150.00 credit.

Pros:

Honestly, I have no idea how this hotel maintains a five-star rating. The property feels severely understaffed, particularly in the restaurant. Each time we tried to order food, it took over an hour to receive it — and this happened on three separate occasions. When the food finally arrived, the quality was disappointing; for example, the hamburger patties were burnt.

The hallways had a persistent, unpleasant odor throughout our stay. We reported this to the front desk twice, yet nothing was done to address the issue.

For the amount of money this hotel charges, every detail should be on point — from service speed to cleanliness to food quality. Unfortunately, this was far from the case. We left feeling extremely disappointed and will not be staying at this hotel again.

Pros:

Transportation to other mountains in Aspen by the staff was super convenient. Concierge staff made great dinner plans for us. Maid service was spot on and stocking of free snacks in mini bar and non-alcoholic drinks were just what was needed after a long day on the slopes.

10/10 don't miss
Pros:

Top shelf service in a lovely hotel property located directly next to the ski gondola. What more could you want? The room service was fantastic and fast arriving. The concierge was knowledgable about the area and suggested several great activities and even booked them in advance of our trip. It's cozy but modern. We actually ended up lounging in the room by the fireplace for much longer than intended just because it was so comfortable.
