Fave Aspen, Colorado lodging when skiing not a consideration?
 

Looking for recommendations.

Staying on a weeknight in early October,
so expect to find availability/choices
*unlike* w/Boulder on a wknd. (where I've found *nothing*!)

So...that being the case...
am open & eager for suggestions!!
Just hubby & me...so don't require a kitchen, etc. A little romantic/sweet spot is just fine. Any nice bed & breakfast style place?

Or, can go for history/grandness, but am guessing the Hotel Jerome will be too expensive. (but will check) Price-wise...
can splurge a bit if you think it really worth it! On the *other* hand, we think we might get up at dawn, to try & catch the Maroon Bells w/morning light...
so in that case, would only having a short stay, alas. (like w/Boulder)
So, perhaps splurging makes zero sense, yet again.

Thanks for any faves you might send our way! :-)

The Gant is a nice condo complex that often has very good deals in the fall.

Mountain Chalet Aspen was a fantastic place for my husband and me a few summers ago. Excellent location, right next to the St. Regis in downtown, clean and comfortable lodging, excellent breakfast included, all at a very reasonable price. Check it out: http://www.mountainchaletaspen.com/

Thanks, will look into both of these
now that I can look at Aspen lodging.

Other places I've heard about, but am not sure about, so would welcome reviews on are: The Hotel Durant...
perhaps a fireplace suite, Hotel Lenado - a Smuggler Room w/woodstove, Sardy House & Hotel Jerome (only if a deal could be had w/these!) ;-)
and L'Auberge d'Aspen which some say are cute cabins right in town...others say, it's downright awful. (via Tripadvisor)

If anyone has stayed at any of these, too, please share! :-) Thanks so much!

Anything new to add to these suggestions?
