It was fine, except that they really need a visible sign to locate the office. I wasn't the only one walking around searching for it. Also, there was a ceiling fan in the room that did not work. There was a remote for it (unlabeled), but it didn't function. It would have been nice on a warm night. Third thing, the (incorrect) clock on the microwave had a bright blue light that I had to cover up.
If you dont need AC, and a ceiling fan will do, you can be right on the Frying Pan River! You can sit at table & chairs outside your room and enjoy your coffee, or go right down to the river and sit on benches or go wading! Other buildings in the complex do have AC. There's also a riverside restaurant next door, a bus stop for a nice bus to either Aspen or Glenwood, and a walkable old town Basalt. Loved it here!
We love staying here. It's so beautiful and so scenic and the river is just beautiful to sleep right by

When looking at pictures of property, looked charming next to river and quiet. Reality is there are 3 buildings that make up property and we were in the one building located in the strip mall parking next to construction site, as of June 2025. We were disappointed not to be next to river. Bed was old, creaky and uncomfortable.
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.
We stayed in building "B", and I am leaving this review to share a funny (and somewhat problematic) story. I think there have been some fairly recent updates, including some new ceiling fans. Long story short- the fans have RF remotes, and at least some of them are sharing a frequency. I woke up at 1am- my fan was off, and the light was on. In fixing it- with my remote, I am pretty sure that I also toggled one of my neighbors lights on, and reset his fan. And so the battle of the fans began. In retrospect, it's humorous- not so much when you're trying to get to sleep in the middle of the night.
Hotel is in a great area, rooms were clean and well kept.
Rooms are a little old fashioned and the A/C is not adjustable. Shower had terrible pressure - needs to be improved!!
Overall was OK value in a beautiful town.
What i love most about this property is the proximity to the river -- it was so relaxing to walk from the room to the riverside and sit in tranquility. I loved it so much that i extended my stay -- just for the ZEN
