Hotel Durant

Hotel Durant is in that sweet spot for travelers. Close to everything Aspen has to offer, yet quiet enough to be relaxing. The staff is great too

This was a very anticipated trip, a rare splurge. The hotel was just as pictured and was tucked into between Condos and Timeshares in the quaint town of Aspen just a few blocks from Ruby Station and The Belly Up. On arrival I did loop the building/block too many times trying to find this free parking that was advertised with the hotels.com listing and it was non-existent. The hotel manager was waiting outside and had been watching me loop around and suggested that my friend park on the street where I had already parked. Was a bit confused but he was very friendly and welcoming to me and accommodating, check in was easy and there was no additional fees or deposits which was very joyous. All in all the property was beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and questioned if I should book another night. The furniture in the unit I stayed in (201) was a bit worn and needed to be addressed although it didn't bug me much I am sure a more up scaled guest would and it is an easy fix. Oh and the complementary breakfast was very good, felt as if you were at home and not a typical buffet or continental breakfast anywhere else.

At Check-In learned there was no Spa, no elevator, no Pool, and no restaurant. My immediate thought was “this is like a Motel”. The price is outrageous for what you get. Two initial positives were that they were serving complimentary Wine in the “Lobby” when I arrived. Also the parking was free but there were only 4 spots in front. They said there was an included breakfast served in the morning so I checked it out, and it was pretty much the caliber you would find at a motel. Very disappointing. To say some nice things, the bed was very comfortable, and I also liked the bathtub. The exposed wood beams in the room were very nice to look at, as well as the unique furnishings like the Edison bulb Lamp. I wish I had more nice things to say. Unfortunately, overall, this hotel wants to charge inflated rates, but doesn’t hold their end of the bargain for their guests. It’s Simple, either lower your prices or improve the quality of your accommodations. Please and Thank You.

It was amazing! I’ve never stayed in a place as clean as this. The staff were extremely helpful and very accomadating for anything we needed. I would recommend to anyone visiting Aspen.

Small, cramped rooms, very basic bathroom, lack of staff (no one even at the main desk for 15 minutes when arriving at the hotel), and the most disappointing breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. I only bothered to have it one morning, and then ate breakfast at a cafe down the road after that. Location is good, and is its only positive feature worth mentioning.
