Transportation to other mountains in Aspen by the staff was super convenient. Concierge staff made great dinner plans for us. Maid service was spot on and stocking of free snacks in mini bar and non-alcoholic drinks were just what was needed after a long day on the slopes.

Top shelf service in a lovely hotel property located directly next to the ski gondola. What more could you want? The room service was fantastic and fast arriving. The concierge was knowledgable about the area and suggested several great activities and even booked them in advance of our trip. It's cozy but modern. We actually ended up lounging in the room by the fireplace for much longer than intended just because it was so comfortable.

For the money, and the amount of times I have stayed, this was my least favorite visit to the property. The staff was amongst the enjoyable, and I rather place the money in their pocket. The mountain view room was a view of a wall, both times. The redone rooms are starting to feel a bit trendy and less expensive, the old rooms just look like they have been left to waste until the redo can happen. Not the 5 star experience I have come to know of the The Little Nell for.
