Which area of Aspen is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
Finding cheap hotels in Aspen is quite challenging, as it's renowned as a luxury destination, but for budget-conscious solo travellers, the most affordable options are typically found slightly outside the immediate downtown core. While "cheap" is relative in Aspen, areas like the vicinity of the Aspen Business Centre or along the main roads leading into town offer what might be considered the best value.

The local RFTA bus system is free and efficient, connecting these outer areas with the town centre and the various ski mountains, making it a practical option for getting around without a car.
