Since 1970, this town-mainstay has been one of Aspen's more affordable lodging choices. Located on Main Street (you cannot miss the towering spread eagle sculpture perched on the roof), the lodge offers easy access to downtown, and the free ski shuttle stops just outside the front door. The rooms feature two queen beds and limited kitchen space, as well as wood paneled walls, fireplaces and work desks/dining tables. The rooms on the upper floors have balconies.
