Aspen Hotels with Balcony

We just wrapped up a long weekend here during mud season. We had issue with the heat in our room which the staff quickly tried address and ended up moving up to the Roch suite. It was very generous and unexpected. From the time we arrived until we left the hospitality was top notch. The suite was fanastic and loved the fireplaces and balcony. The bed was a Bryte ‘smart’ which had variable firmess and interesting, soft rolling motion feature. Very comfortable ! Mini bar was stocked and all non- alcoholic beverages were complimentary. You can arrange for free airport transport. We ate Element 47 for breakfast (vegetable scramble was soooo good) and Ajax Tavern. Both were good. There is 24 room service, but the late night menu is light but nice to have the option. The hotel is within walking distance of everything, including the Rubey Transit location where you can catch a clean and free bus to Aspen Highlands Plaza to get the Maroon Bells shuttle. This hotel may not have the unique, location specific vibe of the Hotel Jerome ( our second choice and I recommend the J -Bar there), but we really wanted a fireplace and balcony and we loved our stay at the Little Nell. Thank you !

I reached out to the hotel with a query in advance but didn't hear back even with follow up and ended up escalating to my Marriott Ambassador to prompt an answer. The hard product is pretty nice and there are a few special touches which are especially appreciated in light of the hotel not charging a resort fee, however management should be accountable for the lack of training and quality control over the service levels. Upon check in I met with a gentleman who had very poor spoken English and the language barrier was substantial. I say this as someone who has lived in multiple countries with English as a second language and been an English tutor for years. The additional time spent trying to clearly enunciate was unlike anything I've seen over my extensive international travel. The St Regis butler service is known for two major things, packing/unpacking luggage and serving hot beverages. It was fortunate I didn't have need for the first service as that was never offered to me. The two times I called for hot beverages they wanted to charge me room service for them and had no idea that this was a butler offering. The butlers were also ill informed about the hours of afternoon tea as well as the need to reserve at least a day in advance to set expectations. They were however endlessly trying hard and it was clear that where their service fell short, it was not to do with their work ethic, but simply because they've not been adequately trained. The suite I had had stained sheets and a bathroom tv remote that didn't work. The elite breakfast used to cover the cost of two continental breakfasts excluding tax and tip. With the raised prices at breakfast, you can't even get the price of two continental breakfasts per room. When you spend $23k+ and 100 nights at a hotel chain to maintain Ambassador status and they can't even extend their own promised included continental breakfast, I'd be curious to understand how they expect guests to stay loyal. The spa was a continued theme of service disappointment. The spa is newly renovated and prices are steep. I was looking forward to taking advantage of the facilities and making a day of it to try to get bang for my buck. At dinner, the night before my treatment, I was called by the spa to be advised that there was no water at the spa and while my treatment could go ahead, the facilities would be unavailable. I expressed my disappointment and was offered a chance to re-book but as I was only there for one more day, that was the only opportunity. So I made new plans for the day. Lo and behold when I checked in shortly before my spa treatment was due to start, it transpired that the facilities were working well and despite knowing I wanted to make use of them, they did not call me to advise they got them working again. This left a really bad taste in my mouth. The hotel did not consider it warranted to contact me about the disappointments when I outlined them in the hotel survey so it's clear

Dear Janica, I would like to express my deep gratitude for the excellent service and hospitality you and your team provided during my stay in Aspen. Your attention to every detail, readiness to meet all my requests, and the special care you demonstrated were essential in making this moment perfect. The marriage proposal was a milestone in our lives, and your dedication and attentiveness made everything even more special. I am immensely grateful to you and the entire hotel team for all the assistance and support during this important moment. With my best regards, Henrique Colombo Cabrini

The hotel is super nice, the pizza is super delicious, next time I live!

The Mountain Chalet may have the best ski-in ski-out access in all of Snowmass. In addition to that convenience, the hotel, believe it or not, serves two meals a day: breakfast and lunch. The former is a full breakfast, and lunch consists of soup, rolls, and fruit. The original owners have recently purchased the hotel and are upgrading the rooms and other areas. The hotel is located one level down from the mall. Indoor parking is available for a fee.
