The hotel is in a great location, but is pricy and in desperate need of a refurbishment. We had air out the room due to the strong odor of the deodorant/cleaner. The breakfast offerings were excellent.

We could go right outside our room and be on the Frying Pan River. The roar of the river met us each time we opened our room door, but didn't notice it when the door was closed. We were here many decades ago and it is still a great place to visit. We ate at the Tipsy Trout just next door and it was very good. We also recommend Heather's Savory Pies. We appreciated the complimentary breakfast. The room was good - no weird smells and the price was ok for the area (near Aspen, where prices are much higher). Beautiful area - especially liked seeing the aspen trees turn yellow!

Great stay - definitely recommend

We had a great stay at the ASPENALT! The room is a bit dated but exceptionally clean and a fantastic location, walking distance to everything in town. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus. Would definitely stay here again!

The Aspenalt is right near a river, so the soothing sounds of the water are pleasant and peaceful. The property is near some nice dining options (Heather's was great for dinner!) and the area is walkable. Very clean room and comfortable bed.

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.

The most unique about this propety is it's location on the river. The rooms are facing the river, you fall asleep to the sound of rushing waters.
