From snow to green grass in an hour drive…

Residence Inn
1127 Oakridge Drive
Fort Collins, CO 80525

This Residence Inn sat back from all the main roads near a nice city park with a pond. We stayed for 2 nights.

Unlike the previous hotel, this Residence Inn had their suites inside one large building. The noise was a bit louder due to the location of our room being at the intersection of 2 halls. The rates were less and the dog fee was drastically cheaper than the Englewood Residence Inn.

The room was clean and nice. The biggest drawback, which usually happens, is that we were given a handicap accessible room, which includes the shower or lack there off. For some odd reason hotels think that because I am a dog owner I need to have low counters, a shower that just runs on the floor (no floor pan, no tub, etc) which floods the bathroom, and minimal amount of chairs. (i.e.: Lack of chairs in the room to accommodate a wheelchair).

This hotel was well maintained with easier parking than most. I felt secure and safe in this area.

Room was clean. Hotel was clean. The free breakfast was alright; better than most. The drawback was the room layout for my husband, me, and my dogs.
