Mehhhh. Let me tell you a little about my experience. I am not one of those people that is hard to please by any means and it really does take a lot for me to write a bad review.
I booked this hotel through Orbitz, the only reason I chose this place was because it was $50-$100 cheaper than other places...would have rather paid more for a nicer place and no hassle. We arrived from our trek from Denver at 7:30PM, didn't receive any email with instructions etc. We get there and the door was locked with no front desk. I call the "24-hour" number, no answer after three tries. Luckily I took the initiative to walk around the building and found the common area that was unlocked. The other guests were very nice, and didn't really know where i should go to check in. I found a wooden box by the door with an envelope with my name on it. The room we got was a far cry from the room I was promised on Orbitz that was supposed to be two floors. I got the room pretty much felt like a basement right by the kitchen area. The room was VERY clean, I will give it that. The bathroom was seriously one of the smallest bathrooms I have ever been in. The shower was so small you hit your arms on the sides when you shampoo your hair. It had an overall feel of grandma's house (but not in a good way). Another weird thing is that you have to park across the creek and walk across a bridge with all your crap (no option for a cart or anything like that). The hotel was in a GREAT location, I will give it that too. It was right in town and a short walk from the gondola.
OK so we were disgruntled about the room, I was hoping that I might be able to speak with someone about this and either move rooms, or get reimbursed in some way (didn't seem unreasonable to me). We find this "elusive front desk" at another hotel in town. I show up there at 11AM and there is a sign saying "front desk closed daily from 11-4PM" Are you kidding me? How can a hotel operate like this? OK so we ski and go back at 4:30PM and talk to some guy who tells me he has nothing to do with the room assignments and pretty much cant help me in any way. He tells me we need to go to another location in town. I ask him if he can call them to make sure that they were open, and he really acted put out by this, claiming that "the land line phone was out". haha getting to be a joke at this point, we even ;aughed
My husband and me walk to the property management company and guess what they tell me, the Aspen Hotel is the one who deals with the room assignments. I explain to her that they sent me to her. She takes one look at my Orbitz confirmation email that I brought explaining that I booked a two floor room and tells me its not her problem and that I need to call Orbitz.
Horrible customer service, and management at this place. While it is cheaper and in a good location, I would rather pay more for a nicer, more well-ran place that doesn't care about it's customers. read more
