Independence Square Lodge by Frias

8/10 Good
"Stayed twice over the course of a week, 2 different rooms. Overall a great location right in the heart of Aspen, but the negative is that you will have some noise outside later in the evenings. Rooms are basic but quite clean and with some nice character. Breakfast is basic but appreciated, as everything in town is expensive."
