Best Western Kiva Inn

This hotel is not close to the CSU campus or the downtown area, which can be a good thing if you are just traveling through. It is also not close to a lot of restaurants but is right next door to a great classic steak house, the Charco Broiler, which I have eaten at years ago. The area is pretty industrial with some mobile home parks. This is an older hotel that has been really nicely redone. The downside is that it doesn't have an elevator so if you want a second story room you need to haul your luggage up a set of stairs. I went into town to see how the campus had changed in the years since I graduated and found my old dorm is now the location of a parking lot. Oh well. less

Adequate accommodations but I think overrated on T.A. Bed OK, pillows could be better. Room has refrig. & micro. Cleanliness of room for 4 nights satisfactory. Towels could be better and more of them. You can request additional. Some guests seem to be long term, Kiva Inn has several different room types. Met some that had a BBQ and cooler and enjoyed their company. Working people, so no late nights, Mostly quiet surrounded by a restaurant, Hwy 14, industrial park and trailer park. Thus you are not here for the view. Need to drive to downtown. Comp. breakfast acceptable, staff enjoyable. less

Reason for visit not the most pleasant - evaluation of dog at CSU Vet School/Hospital for cancer treatment. Vagaries of treatment meant changing dates of stay, more than once. Staff very accommodating and understanding of need to make changes. Also, we do not typically travel with dog - room was well set up for that (end of hall, negligible carpet), which made things easier. They even have poop bags/bin for disposal in the yard. Hotel also has a variety of different types of rooms - standard, with small covered patio, etc. Very nice breakfast. Cheaper than "in town," but easy access into town. less

The Best Western Staff were very friendly, and helpful. I love the Kiva style building. It was Affordable and close to Ft. Collins Downtown. Easy to find and get around Ft. Collins. Thank you very much. I would stay here again. :) #1 less

We lived in Fort Collins for many years and are very familiar with the city and the lodging options and we stay (and will continue to stay) at the Kiva every time. The exterior of the property, as well as the common areas (breakfast area, hot tub / sauna, gym) are always clean and well maintained. This property also has a very nice outdoor pool and sitting area to take advantage of in the summer. Check in went smoothly. We always get a spa room and were assigned to Room 121. Upon entry to our room we realized that our room has (what we call) the “giant egg” spa tub. We prefer the other style of tub that they offer and requested to be moved to Room 123 and the girls at the front desk immediately switched us. NOTE: this move was simply due to personal preference. The hotel has to styles of spa tubs. The “giant egg” is bigger and does not have a bench. It has a lot of jets and takes longer to fill up. We prefer the regular style, the smaller tub with the bench. No matter which style you end up with, rest assured that the tubs are nice and always work properly. Breakfast this particular weekend was the best we’ve had during all our stays at the Kiva. The food is the standard fare of waffles, eggs, sausage, etc. but everything was really fresh, the breakfast attendant did a great job. Location of the property is great. Close to the interstate but if you take Link Ln to Lincoln you can be in Old Town within minutes. The Charco Broiler restaurant is right next door and there are other dining options close by. A special thanks to Alma and Katie who were great all weekend. As this was a spur of the moment trip we had forgotten our toiletry bag and the girls made sure we had toothbrushes and toothpaste. They gave us plates and silverware to eat our takeout, and as mentioned above, they were great about getting our roomed switched. My wife felt bad going to the desk multiple times for the different request but both girls at different times responded with, “that’s what we’re here for!” Thanks Kiva! We’ll see you again soon! less
