Help picking a good hotel in Aspen?

Next winter I'm looking to be spending a week or two in Aspen when I'm off from university. I've been to Park City and Jackson Hole in previous years but I've never been to Aspen. I realize that it's an expensive ski town and, as a college student, I'm on a budget. I'm looking for a hotel with a room fit for 1-3 people around the $100 per night range. Along with some friends, I am definitely going to be snowboarding at the Aspen Snowmass mountains so I want a hotel near them because, as a young person, rental car companies aren't too keen on renting me one. I've checked out The Little Nell and The Limelight Lodge but they are way to expensive for me to stay there for more than a few days. Could I get some direction as to which hotel would be the most suitable? Thank you!
