We stayed here briefly for a wedding a couple days ago.

The room was adorable with an incredibly soft bed.  The shower was roomy and got nice and hot.  There is the cutest hotel cat named Oreo.  Another plus is the veggie/vegan friendly coffee shop right next door.  The location could not be beat.  The hotel was quiet and classic, with modern touches.

The only negatives are the tiny parking lot (there is an overflow lot a block away) and a joke of an air condtioner.   The parking lot holds about five cars and the a/c never got our room under 75 degrees.

All in all it was a solid deal.  We've paid a lot more for much worse places.

This hotel is absolutely adorable!  This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and it is growing on me every time!  This place has so much going for it!  The rooms are decorated in their own fashion with their super comfy beds and the wonderful soaps they provide!  They are also right next to Downtown Fort Collins and Mugz is right next door.  What more could you ask for?  Love the cat that sits on the front desk.  I will steal it!

What a wonderful gem of a hotel!
Here are some reasons why I love this hotel
-Great location
-Historic property
-Unique room decor
-Reasonable prices
-Fluffy towels
-Comfortable beds
-Hotel cat named Oreo
-Complimentary makeup removal towelettes
-Complimentary cruiser bikes to ride around Ft. Collins!!
-Complimentary board games
-Cool front desk people

A word to the ladies, bring your own hair dryer. The ones they provide are useless.

We escaped up to FoCo for a quick Colorado getaway, and we are so glad we picked the Armstrong. I wouldn't hesitate to return for another local vacation.

Whenever we need a getaway, Fort Collins it is.  And the Armstrong is where we stay.  Actually, The Armstrong is WHY we get away to FoCo.  Our first trip brought us to a bar, where we asked if there was any place to stay in downtown.  This was our only option.  We stumbled down the block, asked about their rates, and were pleasantly surprised.  If I remember right, it's about $100 per night.  

And that $100 goes a long way.  Let me start off with the beds.  They're amazing.  Feather comforters, PLENTY of feather pillows, and beyond-egyptian cotton.  Seriously, they're the softest sheets I've ever slept on.  They provide you with a small fridge, and sell beer via room service.  Excellent.  The coffee machine is a pleasant addition.  They offer wireless throughout the hotel.  Which, for me, means that I can lounge in the extra-comfy bed while Yelping to find a place to eat dinner.  And my boyfriend can watch TV on their big screens (no, not flat screens) while also lounging in the extra comfortable bed.  

And their bathrooms aren't too shabby, either.  They provide the typical amenities, but then also throw in a makeup remover cloth.  It has come in handy in the past.  Their soaps and stuff are quality, as well.  I like to judge hotels based on their bathroom items.  

Each room we've stayed in has been designed differently, painted pretty colors, and had a nice view.  I prefer room #303, which is smaller yet gives a great view and is painted warm colors.  The rooms on the back side of the hotel have their quirks too.  And the one morning I was awoken at 7AM by the front desk asking me to move my car (I had parked where I wasn't supposed to, and the garbage man was there...oops) they gave me a 10% refund on my stay.  

AND let's not forget their house cat.  Yep, they have a gray furry cat that runs around the place.  Talk about making it feel like home.

Awesome hotel. Loved getting to pick out which room I wanted online while I was planning a trip to Fort Collins. I'm always looking for a good deal, so when we got this cool of a room for only about $100 a night, I was verrrry pleased. Great bedding, cool decor, location couldn't be better.

I love this place! You can't beat the location. I used to live in old town in college and this really brings it all back.
These rooms beat out any other hotels in town and the price is great too. I work at a luxury hotel and while this isn't luxury it has a lot of charm. I like that you can pick which room you book on-line so you know what to expect.

The Armstrong has a great location if you are going to be in Fort Collins. Skip the big box places for this place's great location and charm.

There is included parking in the back. The decor is a bit homey. The walls are a tad thin, but it never really bothered me. They have a cool cat that hangs out downstairs. You can't beat it.

I have stayed at the Armstrong several times and always on my own as a business traveler. The location is awesome, right on College and in the middle of all the action. The rooms are all different and you're given an opportunity to choose on-line. I personally love room 312. Great size, great location in the hotel and great view of the street below. I love that it's "non-chain" and you can walk to several different places to eat. The hotel rates are very reasonable and again, you cannot beat the location. Whether traveling for business or you want to hang out and enjoy all Ft. Collins has to offer, this is a fabulous choice!

Not too bad a hotel for crashing after djing all night and staying up to catch the sunrise over Horsetooth Reservoir.  Nice towels and a decent shower.  The in-room a/c units were ok but a bit noisy.  Like I cared considering I'd just spent the previous 4 hours mixing records at high volume and all I wanted was sweet sweet coldness.  The Armstrong is conveniently located right in the middle of Old Town too.  Making all your towny excursions just a few steps away.  Great little coffee shop right next door.
