Frommer's Review

I was distraught when I heard the old Limelight was falling to the bulldozer in 2006, but a new one went up in the same quiet spot near downtown Aspen. Reopened in 2008, the property traded its mom-and-pop looks for a slick classic-meets-contemporary facade, sheathing larger rooms spread over four stories. Dale Paas, whose family has owned the motel since 1958, has committed to sustainable design, and the new Limelight is a model of green architecture and design.

Facilities:
Outdoor pool; 2 outdoor hot tubs; coin-op laundry

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
