An average at best motel in a great location. Property is dated and in need of updating. Stayed in a suite and appreciated the extra half bath, but couch in living room was not a pull out. My room was clean but furnishings are worn as is the property in general. Bed was pretty firm and somewhat uncomfortable. Hotel staff were friendly and pleasant. Stayed here because prices at the time around town were very high and this place offered a comparatively reasonable rate. Would stay here again under similar circumstance, but would much rather be at the Armstrong, Elizabeth or one of several other options in the Old Town/CSU area.

This best Western had absolutely no reason to be as good as it was. It's in a lovely tree lined street… Very easy parking. My room was gigantic and had an entire living room section. I never used. The folks at the front desk were incredibly helpful about all sorts of local things – there seems to be a cult following a Fort Collins. They knew we were all the good craft beer was and all the most delicious restaurants to visit. The room was immaculate and all the things worked. It couldn't have been more pleasant to stay at this best western in Fort Collins Colorado.

Stayed for a half marathon in town. Convenient location. Not the nicest place, but fit the bill. Bathroom was tiny. A/C didn’t cool as much as we wanted even set to 66. Other than that it was ok.

Staff was nice! Ice machine not working in the building we were in & we were told to go to another buildingif we wanted ice. No house keeping staff working so on our 2nd day our room was not refreshed. Indoor pool/hot tub area kinds gross. Another guest cleaned our pile of leaves from the filters hoping the greenness in the hot tub would go away. Pool was not heated so unusable & that was one of the reasons for staying at this location. Should not be charged a resort fee if one of the main items on the resort can't be used. The $15 parking fee per night was a surprise, as I didn't see that when I booked or maybe they just added it. The whole placed seemed run down & uncared for, and some what understandable knowing they been bought out & will be renovating. Very disappointed & I doubt I will return again, even after the name change & refurbishment.
