We have stopped often at the Aspen Leaf Lodge over the past ten years. The rooms are always clean and warm. It is a great place to stop for a skiing holiday at Monarch Pass. The hot tub is always welcoming after a hard day on the slopes. The management has always been polite and responsive to any requests we have had. For a beautiful mountain town this is the best place to stay.

My family and I stayed at the Aspen Lodge over Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time. What it is, is a family-oriented loy-key place. The employees are so friendly and genuine that by the time you leave, you are calling them by their first names. The service is top-notch. What Aspen Leaf is NOT, is a place for richer people who are used to silver lined plates and roads paved with gold. This is a MOUNTIAN lodge, and it is a little run down, but not the point of repelling from all it has to offer. No, t.v. but plenty of entertianment: racketball court and game room, swimming pool and hottub, horsebackriding,scheduled events over the holidays, a cowboy band, bar with pool table... it all adds up to a very relaxing stay.

At 1:45 AM on our stay at the Aspen Leaf I was awakened by a loud noise that at first I thought was a new type siren. When I looked out the window, a huge tour bus was mauuevering back and forth to get backed up next to our room. The noise I was hearing was the reverse safety alarm.
But not just one, but four buses kept the noise level up till we were both wide awake and could not get back to sleep.
We complained next morning, only to hear, we can't control what time they will arrive.
You may want to take ear plugs on your next visit, because a good nights sleep, "IS NOT GURANTEED".
ALSO, don't expect a discount, none is given or offered, AAA, ARRP, ETC.

The owner gave me a reasonable rate and called today to cancel my room. The hotel was listed in a discount book that she said she would not honor as she did not know anything about it, but since she wanted to be nice she would let me have it for a higher rate of $50 and i agreed. She called today and told me she could get $89 for the room and would not honor her commitment. I will not recommend anybody who does business this way.
