Independence Square Lodge by Frias

Great location, hot tub on roof, great room, staff friendly

Much better than my hotel in Boulder

Great spot!

We were so happy staying here! our room was just perfact for the two of us! very nicely done and immaculate. Everyone was very nice, it was quiet, continental breakfast was good, location is awesome. The only issue was where to park, but we found a spot about 3 blocks away - maybe a 5-10 min walk. Really not a big deal. We would definately stay here again.

great hotel, great location

excellent location, probably the finest location in all of downtown Aspen, right on the mall. beautifully maintained. staff great. upstairs room a little noisy one night, only negative; continental breakfast adequate but not extensive. got a great deal off season. would love to stay there during ski season but suspect rates are much higher.

Outstanding hotel

We liked our stay in the hotel very much, it has convinient location, very friendly and helpful staf, cleand and comfortable rooms.... we definitelly come back. Alenka & Jerry

It's a B & B

Great value at an outstanding location. Yes, you'll hear the noise of pedestrians and buses, but you are steps away from everything that makes Aspen a vital little city. In-room attributes are limited, skip breakfast. Be sure to take some time on the roof.

Great location

All rooms have different owners (condo arrangement), so may vary in quality. Great location on the pedestrian mall, close to shops, restaurants and ski slope. Registration and elevator are down 17 steep stairs, so be prepared to carry our luggage. Hot tub on the roof was wonderful, great view of city and slope.

Great deal in Aspen

The hotel is in a wonderful location right in the heart of Aspen. The entrance of the hotel actually opens up to a pedestrian square - very cute. For the price, the hotel was great. The room was very simple, but nice. Parking was no big deal, we simply parked right around the corner. A community computer with internet was crucial for us, mid-trip. Breakfast was a little sparse. All in all, though, a good hotel room!

Excellent Location, Needs to Improve Service

The Hotel is very well located, in the Center of the Mall in Aspen. There is no parking provided and you must park on the street in the surrounding neighborhoods. The room was comfortable and adequate. The problem that we encountered is that even though our room was already paid for, they asked us to leave a blank voucher opened for "incidentals". For example, they told us that they charge $5 for each key that is not returned. At the time of checking out (11:00 a.m.), there was nobody at the Front Desk. We wanted to return our keys and make sure that they would either give us a final statement saying that we owed nothing (we did not consume anything from the refrigerator in our room), or the return of our blank voucher (all hotels return it if you do not charge any extras on it), but there was nobody to be found at the Front Desk. Finally, we went to the "breakfast room" where we found an attendant. She was not permitted to print a statement for us or to return the voucher. She said that the manager was out "running errands". So I ask, why was it that the only person that can provide the statement or give you back your voucher (the manager) chose to leave the Hotel at precisely check out time? We were frankly very annoyed as to the quality of the check out policy of the Hotel.

great spot in Aspen

Perfect hotel in a perfect location. the room was large and had a unique layout. the staff was great. the continental breakfast was everything you could expect. spotlessly clwan place.

Very impressed

Room was excellent, clean and tastefully decorated. Great view of downtown Aspen. Rooftop jacuzzi was a plus. Very good breakfast. Good value for the money. Parking a bit of a hassle, but it is in Aspen. Will return.
