This is located about a fifteen-minute walk from downtown Glenwood Springs, but it's also directly on the circular bus route around town! I was attending an event in Aspen, so it was just a quick visit. The hotel, though definitely older, was well maintained and very quiet. All in all a pleasant stay.

Not much to see from the outside (at least in the winter) and I'm not sure i want to wander around in a former military nuclear waste site.
