Aspen Hotels with Shuttle Service

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!

I stayed here because of it's location next to Aspen mountain. I wanted a ski in / ski out location. My experience was fantastic. My flight into Aspen Airport was delayed. I contacted the hotel concierge to notify them and they said the would be tracking my flight in order to have someone there to pick me up when my flight landed. Sam was there waiting for me with a smile and was very friendly. Unfortunately my luggage did not make it on my flight and did not arrive until the next day. Jason at the front desk was very helpful in getting me as many toiletries as they had to help me make it through the night. The next day Brad took me back to the airport to pick up my luggage. My main reason for my trip was to ski. The Ski Concierge group was great. They walked me to the rental shop to get my skis, boots and poles and even carried them back to the Residence for me. Every morning they greeted me by name and even helped me put on my prewarmed boots. They even provided snacks and sun screen. They gondola is located just a few yards outside of the Residence door and they have your skis waiting for you on their private rack that is located just a few feet from the snow. They were also able to provide me with my lift ticket. The room was very nice. Breakfast in the mornings was provided in the Owners Lounge and was excellent. They had coffee and hot chocolate available throughout the day. The gym was large and had everything you could want. The heated pool and hot tub on the roof had an amazing view. My flight did not leave until 5:00pm, and they were very gracious enough to let me stay until 1;00pm before I needed to check out. Great experience. I would definitely stay there again.
