This is NOT a 5 star hotel but in Basalt you wouldn't WANT one. The location of this small motel is right along the Frying Pan river and, when it's running, there's a lovely sound from the river. It's lovely to sit and watch it flow by, as well. While nothing fancy, the rooms are large with microwave, fridge and... More

Rooms were a little dark but had all necessary facilities and spotlessly clean. We had a room by the river which was well worth paying the extra as we could sit in the garden by the water and hear the river at night. More

The Aspenalt is a good hotel in the Aspen area (Aspen being about 25 minutes south) but nothing special. The rooms are clean and well appointed, the place is well-lit, parking is convenient, and the breakfast area is at or above average. Again, nothing special - hotel-wise. But it is right on the Fryng Pan river - 14 feet or... More

I have stayed once a year over about ten years for 3-7 days each at the Aspenalt and can say that it has stayed consistent over that period. It is quite comfortable albeit basic. The real pluses are two: being in Basalt and being right on the Fryingpan River. Most of the hotel's rooms are within 30 yards of the... More

This hotel is a great option if you're looking for a clean, convenient place to sleep. If you're looking for luxury, the Aspenalt will be a disappointment. I've stayed here countless times for business, and it's always been good. More

Based on the reviews I was a bit apprehensive about booking this motel. I was VERY pleasantly surprised. Our room overlooked the Frying Pan River (we were upgraded), clean, and the breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. More

If you rent a room by the river, you will not be disturbed. You can watch the magic of a small mountain town and feel safe and secure. Really enjoyed it More

We stayed at the Aspenalt Lodge for 6 nights in early May while visiting family in Basalt. We chose this lodge due to it's proximity to our family's home which we were visiting. We were greeted by the loveliest folks ever, Chris & Anetta; check - in was a breeze. Once in our room, we found it immaculate, very clean... More

The rate was good, although the Inn at Aspen was the same. The gal at the counter is the problem, and needs to be fired. Surly attitude when we checked in, and 20-minutes late opening when we wanted to check out. If you are on a schedule, or like good service, avoid the Aspenalt. More
