The town of Aspen

We spent the night in the town of Aspen. I booked the cheapest hotel in town through central reservations. It was $131 for a room with 2 double beds. The Mountain House Lodge where we stayed turned out to be very nice. Right after we checked in the lady behind the front desk informed us that there was wine and cheese down by the Jacuzzi. Now this is what I expected from Aspen. We went and chilled in the hot tub for a while before going out to get dinner. The town of Aspen is pretty nice. The downtown area is large with lots of shops and restaurants. There were tons of ritzy shops selling high fashion clothing, jewelry, fur coats etc. There were tons of restaurants to choose from as well. We had dinner at a pizza place on the recommendation of the hotel staff. It was only about 9:30 when we finished dinner so we went back to the hotel before going out for the night. Unfortunately we both fell asleep and I didn't wake up until about 1:00am, so we never made it back out. I would say the only downside of the entire trip was that we didn't get to experience the Aspen nightlife.
