    Banged up walls
    Paolo B.

    Upon arrival the water was shut off to the entire building. It did not come back on until 6 pm. The front desk refused to even provide bottled water for guests. How shortsighted and unaccommodating. No showers, flushing toilets, doing dishes, or drinking water. The rooms are quiet from street noise... BUT, the floors allow the transmission of noises from the units above. The ceiling squeaked loudly as the upstairs guest walked around. The sliding closet doors from above were noisy too. HINT: request a 4th floor room so you're on top of everyone. Rooms are slightly worn. Carpet pieces loose, walls dented and in need of touch up paint.

    Huge rooms, great beds and awesome bathrooms. Dog friendly and a great location. Stayed 1 night before going to Aspen. Hotel is steps from the whole foods.

    Inside of dishwasher - seems like it can be cleaner than this.

    My wife and I decided to take in 4 nights over Christmas. While it is a Bonvoy property, in my opinion it does not live up to the Marriott brand. This is a Westin property (owned by Marriott) and as a lifetime titanium member I guess I just expect a little better than what we had. First, the kitchen in the suite (unlike I thought the Marriott Residence Inn had) does not include an oven (I was told by the manager that there are no ovens in Residence Inn either due to safety). It has a small 2 burner cook top and a microwave. Yes, a full size fridge and dishwasher is included as well. There is also only a small counter top to eat at for 2 people. When we checked in, we discovered that there was only 1 small bowl among the dishes, and a pasta pot and small saucepan for cooking. No frying pan. I went to the front desk and asked for another bowl and frying pan, which were eventually brought up. The inside of the dishwasher was absolutely nasty (pictures provided).The room (king studio) was smaller than I like, and the traffic noise from our side of the building along the highway was brutal at times. We also had heavy foot walking noise from the room above us at all hours. The building does not appear to be well insulated between floors. Breakfast was included and consisted of cold cereal, juice, fruit, milk, and an attendant that would toast bagels or English muffins. They also had the standard pre-made and frozen eggs, sausage and omelette. We opted to go next door to get some groceries at the Natural Foods and make our own. The location is great, next to a brew pub, Natural Foods, and a few restaurants. While it was an acceptable stay, we won't be back. The value for what we got just wasn't there. We will stick with the Marriott properties.

    The view from our Studio King Suite was magical!

    I usually don't write reviews but this was something my boyfriend and I felt we wanted to share! We were on our anniversary trip as a little weekend getaway and this hotel honestly had some of the sweetest and most helpful people working there that made us feel welcome no matter what time of day. I wanted to recognize one particular person Karina. She was such an angel and treated my boyfriend and I with such care on our anniversary day making it that much better also taking pictures for us in our dressed up outfits from every angle even when we only asked for one (something little but definitely was something out of the kindness of her heart). The hotel itself was clean and convenient being surrounded by restaurants as well as a Whole Foods/liquor store which are both walking distance and not to mention the beautiful Mountain View we had from our room. Thank you so much Element Basalt for a wonderful stay and I cannot wait to be back again!

    Nice and clean with good styling. Staff is very nice and accommodating. The only complaint I have is that the beds good be better.

    Wow I have not slept in a worse bed in my entire life. Westin Hotels should be ashamed of the slab of bricks they are putting sheets on

    Beautiful new, modern hotel. Great gym and pool. My only complaint is the walls are paper thin and the sheets are scratchy.

    Our room had a kitchenette where we were able to make food (we got from the Whole Foods that is literally across the street!).

    From the moment we met Jenny, we knew we were in incredibly capable hands. She was the epitome of…read moreprofessionalism, yet she also felt like an old friend guiding us through the process. What truly set Jenny apart was her meticulous attention to detail - she thought of absolutely everything, showing her deep knowledge and expertise. Her experience working in the Roaring Fork Valley also allowed us to plan our wedding in a condensed timeline, connecting with vendors easily and moving through the steps more quickly than we would have on our own or with someone not local. She navigated the curveball of a late April Aspen snowstorm with ease and our guests haven't stopped talking about how our wedding was one of the most memorable (in the best way possible!) they've attended. She brought our vision of a relaxed yet elegant ceremony and reception to life and we are so grateful!

    Jenny is a true gem in the wedding industry. I cannot say enough good things about her and…read morerecommend to everyone that they hire a wedding planner. She was amazing to work with during every step involved in the planning process. From our very first meeting I instantly felt at ease and knew that we were in the best of hands. Jenny comes with an impressive background in event planning. She knows the in's and the out's of the industry and has amazing resources that aided in keeping us on track and organized. Just when I thought that Jenny couldn't get any better...she literally saved the day for our ceremony! Our DJ got stuck in traffic on his way to Vail and was unfortunately not able to make it to our wedding. We found out the news approximately two hours prior to our ceremony start time. Needless to say, I was panicking...but Jenny wasn't. She calmly approached me to fill me in on the situation. I very clearly remember her telling me "I've got this. Give me some time and I will find a replacement." Within FIVE MINUTES we had a new DJ hired. I cannot speak enough regarding the importance of hiring local vendors who know the area and have connections in the area. Jenny didn't stop assisting us once our wedding was over either as she assisted us in negotiations with the DJ for a reimbursement. I will never be able to thank Jenny enough. I went from being incredibly overwhelmed planning a destination wedding to feeling so at ease and confident with the professionals that I hired. It is an incredible thing seeing your vision come to life and I truly don't think my vision could have been executed without Jenny's help! Now that my dream wedding has come and gone I feel even more grateful to have made an amazing friend in the process.

    This is the best place I've eaten in a long time…read more We ordered: chicken empanada, stuffed mushrooms, chicken pot pie, house salad, and pistachio cake. Everything was amazing! The crusts were so good and the dressing on the salad was so fresh and zingy! And the cake.... I wish I would've bought an entire one to take home. They have a case of fresh desserts with too many options to count and everything looked amazing! The service was quick and straightforward. It was really a nice ambiance - perfect and intimate for a nice meal out while also feeling down to earth like a small mom/pop cafe. Upon leaving I felt so nourished - this place has true comfort food where you feel warm and cozy in your soul after!

So, we decided to check out Basalt. We were lucky to find Heather's. The place has a great cozy vibe. Our servers were very friendly and welcoming. The food was simply fantastic! We enjoyed everything we had. Starting with their delicious Wild Mushroom Soup, then a very fresh and tasty Garden Salad, next we split a Chicken Pot Pie and the Stuffed Pork Chop entrees! That stuffed pork chop had a wonderful mushroom risotto accompanying it and was stuffed with a delicious gruyere cheese and a nicely done asparagus. So good! I strongly recommend this wonderful establishment!
