This is a one Michelin 🗝️ Property and you can tell from the moment you walk in the door. We were greeted by Amanda. The automatic door opening was nice. It is a boutique hotel in the heart of Fort Collins near a yummy cafe. Our room was extremely large, clean, well maintained and stocked. The bed was topped with a lovely duvet and blanket. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

The hotel is cute but be aware that there are a lot of rooms that are above a restaurant that blasts loud music until late at night.  We were lying awake for 3 hours and talked to the front desk several times but they were not able to help.  These rooms also don't have natural sunlight (looking out on a building that is 6 feet away).  It was an extremely frustrating experience for us as this was supposed to be a much needed get-away!

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. However if you have any desire for peace and quiet in your room or any sleep at all, DO NOT STAY HERE. You can hear every step of the people above you, every word of those in adjacent rooms AND if that is not enough, there is a train that goes SCREAMING through at approximately 5 am and on from there. The walls and ceilings are paper thin. They provide ear plugs but they did almost nothing bc the noise is CONSTANT. such a shame bc the hotel is otherwise quite lovely. I would never stay here again.

The staff is our favorite, the rooms are fun and always clean. Beds are comfy and our room was on the backside so it was very quiet. This is one of our favorites places to go to get away even if it is for one night while driving through Fort Collins.

This was my second time staying at the Armstrong hotel. It is a very unique property to the area, not a hotel chain. It’s one of 11 Michelin star hotels. The building is older so what you lose in amenities, room size, and the classical design of the building, you gain in unique charm, friendly service, and a huge personality of a hotel. I love it! There’s not many hotels like this anymore so it’s always fun to stay somewhere that is a one-of-a-kind hotel. We enjoyed the basement bar and secret rooms that you can sit sit and relax in. The Front Desk staff is absolutely the best! I wish I had their names, but this hotel is lucky to have such great personalities run the Front Desk.
