“...Genuine value for money in Aspen"
Jun 25, 2008: DrJimbob, Cambridge, MA
My wife and I stayed in the Tyrolean Lodge for a conference in mid June. We were quite pleased with what we had -- the standard rate of $135/night gets you a 2nd floor room, astonishingly spacious after years of cramped big-city digs, big clean bathroom with plenty of hot water and a frighteningly powerful flush mechanism, two full sized beds and one twin bed (though additional guests bring a modest extra charge), a kitchenette with some diningware and utensils, an electric stove with an oven(!) and a bar-sized refrigerator (which opens the possibility of saving some money on dining out), free WiFi, a TV with a generous selection of channels and very nice, helpful staff. The location was an easy walk to anything in downtown Aspen, and just a couple of blocks from the Music Tent and the Aspen Summer Music Festival, so it couldn't be beat for convenience.
Downsides? The view from the 2nd floor room is not particularly stunning (for an extra $15/night, you might do better on the 3rd floor). There is no ventilation in the bathroom, short of opening a window. I didn't see an air conditioning system either, and the room got awfully stuffy with the windows closed; the window had to be left open with the ceiling fan left on to make it comfortable at night. This, in turn created its own problems, as Main Street is one of the few fairly heavily trafficked streets in Aspen, so car noise is the price of cool comfort.
So, it's a less than perfect place (I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if that was an option). But considering that many of the other downtown Aspen hotels ask 3-4 times as much money, it's a solid consideration for the location.
Liked location, location, location; clean rooms; WiFi; full kitchenette; spacious

"Loved it"
May 25, 2007: ladinks, Valencia, CA
Stayed in Room 301 great size for two people. Two queen beds plus a twin bed for your luggage. Kitchenette, fire place and a great view of the on of the ski runs. 5 minute walk to town, grocery stores, hiking trails. Stayed May 16 -19 $75 plus tax. Some of the Aspen shops and restaurants were closed until June 1. For dining I recommend the Steak Pit, the Hickory House, and the Cantina Mexicana, for lunch the Bakery Cafe is also very good. Watch out for the Aspen gas prices though. $4.00 a gallon in Aspen but only $3.29 in Corbondale. Overall great location and great room.
This TripAdvisor Member:
Liked: Large room, fridge and microwave and fireplace, great location walk to town
Disliked: Did require full payment in advance for all three nights with strict cancellation policy

The Tyrolean Lodge is the best value in Aspen.
January 1, 2005: tufftiger440-aspen
The place was better than we had expected and we would definitely stay there again.
The Tyrolean Lodge is legendary and nostalgic. It has a wonderful history behind it. Just go to tyrolean Lodge website and read all about it. The rooms are a bit dated but this added to the charm of the place. The kitchenettes are definitely very 1950ish (probably original) and still working! This place is truly an Aspen Landmark. We loved the chrome Eagles. One eagle is on top of the building the other one is kind of hidden. It is on Main Street between the Tyrolean and their neighbor to the North.
The kitchenettes have 3 electric coil burners and there is a real oven. A microwave, a Braun drip coffee maker, and a wide-slotted bagel/bread toaster are also provided as well as other kitchen stuff like plates, utensils, cups etc.
I stayed at this hotel in:
December, 2004
I traveled to this hotel with: friends
I recommend this hotel for: couples and romantics, singles, gay and lesbian, seniors, students, budget travelers, active/adventure travelers, tourists
My visit was for: leisure |
Be sure to turn the fan on over the sink when you use the oven, the microwave, the toaster or the burners. If you don't, you might set the smoke-alarm off. The fan works very well.
The beds have very good comfortable mattresses. There are 2 queen sized beds and 1 twin bed in the room. The other furniture in the room is old and mismatched and the drawers seem to be broken (looks like garage sale stuff).
The carpet looked brand new and so did the tile in the bathroom.
There is a very small closet in the room with lots of wooden hangers. However, it might be a good idea to think about utilizing the area under the beds for storage.
The room looked very clean and smelled very clean.
The rooms have their own thermostats in them. So you can set the temp of your room yourself.
The bathroom in the room had liquid soap dispensers near the sink and in the shower/tub. That was a very nice feature. The towels are better than a lot of places offer. They are white, thick large towels (not thin). The water in the shower was hot and had very good pressure.
The location of the Tyrolean is the best. The FREE bus to all the mountains is right outside the door.
The rooms were also pretty soundproof.
The Tyrolean Lodge does not have any hot tubs or pools. If you desire a hot tub ask the front desk clerk about the Aspen Recreation Center.
The office is only open 8:30AM-6:30PM. So, if you plan to arrive late be sure to give the office a call so they can make arrangement for your late arrival. Parking at the Tyrolean is also limited. The place has 16 rooms but does not have 16 parking spaces. I did not have a problem finding a parking space even though we arrived at 2:00 AM.

"Great Value Hotel"
Sep 19, 2005: MrsPacker, Denver, Co.
There is no pool or hot tub but the prices are killer, the rooms are delightful and the hotel is clean, friendly and homey. We loved our room (with kitchenette) and the easy walk to town. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. It is such a find I am almost loathe to share it!

"Family Vacation"
March 31, 2004: A TripAdvisor Member, Katy, Texas
We love staying at the Tyrolean and have stayed there several times. It is the most affordable place to stay in Aspen and it has a little kitchen!!!! That is a huge feature for us because we travel on a budget and don't want all our money going towards eating out. The location in town is as perfect as can be, everything is in walking distance. The staff has always been polite. We don't pick lodging for it's glamour, we pick lodging for its practicality and in that you can't find better than the Tyrolean in Aspen.
