Top hotels in West Aspen
The Inn at Aspen
The sheets on the bed had some stains on them. Called the front desk and they had someone come and change the sheets. The room was clean. Restaurant was good. The walls were thin in the rooms. Could hear the people next door. Overall the hotel was great.

Grateful for a nice, clean and friendly place to stay a few minutes from downtown Aspen. I will stay there again if I have the opportunity. My only wish is there was a filtered water bottle station or water provided at check in:)
