Aspen Lodging: Procrastination Pays
Jan 13, 2009 · 03:43 PM · permalink
I'm the world's best procrastinator, and usually it bites me in the ass. But once in a while it pays off. In this case, we called Aspen central reservations on the morning of our arrival and ended up with a hotel room at 20% off plus lift tickets for 25% off. Last month we looked at the same hotel plus lift tickets, so I can definitively confirm that we saved money by waiting. We'll see if it works for Telluride, too.
We picked Independence Square, which is located one-and-a-half blocks from the Ajax Gondola and is surrounded by much more expensive accommodations--like the Little Nell. I have to say, Independence Square is totally decent. A little retro, but quiet, comfortable, friendly, and the location cannot be beat.

Jason,
Nice review. Can you tell me what your #1 pick was? I have been looking at light weight jackets/shells including the Free Thinker and am interested in what you found that you felt topped this one.
Thanks.
