DONOVAN, Aspen

Well its current name isn't Charleston Tower, it's Best Western. Currently no gym, no pool, no ice, and only one elevator works. Breakfast apparently included, if you walk to a different hotel. Room is clean, and superficially updated, but it's clear corners were cut wherever possible. It's remodel but a rather superficial and at times sloppy one. Just kind a weird, to be honest. Doesn't seem like anyone is actually staying here, given the 8 cars in the parking lot.

I believe the property is still fixing up the hotel as it was formally Best Westrrn…still need to work on the elevator because it looked condemned…there was homeless people outside the hotel and they need to work on security on controlling how they let the homeless people come up to the door…felt a little unsafe…the room was nice and the customer arrive was good

Lower your expectations

Hotel was hard to find as Hotels.com lists it as the Charleston Tower, but the signage says Best Western. Went around in circles trying to find it. Hotel definitely shows its age and lack of building maintenance. Breakfast offered was one of the poorest we've encountered.

Hotel is dated and being worked on. The staff is amazing, Ms. Lawade is one of those people that not only took care of a mix up in reservation but made sure everything was good with our stay. She deserves 5 stars! The room was quiet very clean and the bed was comfortable. Enjoy your stay here.

Do you like ants crawling all over you? Then you'll love this infested hotel. Ants were all over my stuff in not just one but two different rooms (after room two I was DONE.) which considering I brought food with me is an absolute deal breaker. Now not only do I have to throw out all that food, I also was told I can't get a refund because I had technically stayed tonight (no, I came back to find ants all over and packed up at 1am. I'm still finding them crawling out of my stuff even at my new hotel.) Honestly the whole place looked like the kind of place you go to lay low while running from the cops (but they were still charging $100/night?!) - sinks that didn't drain, sketchy parking lot and surrounding area, doors and furniture that were more patch than original. At least I didn't get trapped in the one working elevator - the one with half the buttons taped over.

Everything was excellent except the parking lot which had dead trees, weeds in walkways and uncut grass. For very little money, you make a much better first impression.
