Staying at this hotel was like a trip back in time with unique fishbowl decor on the walls, although the view of an air shaft wasn't ideal. The room itself was spacious, offering a comfortable stay overall.

7.4/10

The hotel is nestled in downtown Fort Collins, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the city's attractions on foot. The rooms, though small, provide a cozy ambiance with modern amenities that maintain a touch of history. The service was outstanding - the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel like a VIP during my stay. While the location offers convenience to nearby shops and restaurants, the noise from passing trains at night can be bothersome. The dining experience, though lacking in variety, was still a pleasant stop for morning coffee. Overall, a charming spot to spend a few days in FoCo!
