Kimpton Armory Hotel

We stayed for two nights, arriving on Sunday and leaving on Tuesday. Perhaps the experience is different Wednesday through Saturday, but only the rooftop bar was open for dining on the nights we were there. It is a nice bar with great views, but limited food offerings. The basement bar and main dining restaurant were both closed. You really can't be a 5-star hotel and not offer dinner service. We ultimately had dinner at the Carlisle, which is located in a hotel down the street, and had an excellent meal there. There is no practical alternative to Valet parking, which is $40/day plus tips. To make matters worse, the messaging system to initiate the return of your car doesn't work, so you have to go through the operator to reach the valet service. The bottom line is that the valet service is expensive and inconvenient. There is a $35/night amenity fee, which pays for the limited amenities they provide. The only real amenity we found was a guest reception from 5:00 to 6:00, during which they provide wine and premade Old Fashions. However, the night we were able to visit the reception, the service didn't start until almost 5:30, but it still ended at 6:00. The room itself is small but has nice furnishings. Unfortunately, the limited space available is filled with a tray full of wine and alcohol they want you to purchase at inflated prices, a drawer full of snacks, and a refrigerator with beverages for sale. I usually don't mind having a mini bar in the room that I can choose to pay for, but when the space is so limited, maybe they could leave them out. Overall, the hotel is overpriced for what you get. Although Bozeman generally has very high hotel prices, the Amory is at the high end of the area and doesn't provide an experience that justifies the rate.

Gretchen , Josie at the front desk are wonderful. The valet attendant are always going above , and beyond for the guests. Gretchen is wonderful at giving directions. I like the idea of giving personal wake up calls as well very personal touch. The only thing is that my wake up call was 90 minutes late I asked for 330 am, and the call came at 500 am. When I checked out Monday morning the ladies working the overnight shift were very pleasant to deal with . Housekeeping staff is amazing. The room is wonderful but the phone should be next to the beds,. I never stayed in a hotel that had the phone on the desk perhaps having two phones in the room is something to look into. You need to have printed out directions on how to use the coffee maker. The screen thing on the night stand that shows you stuff about the hotel is a waste of time all it is trying to do is to get you to dine at the hotel restaurant which I'm sure is a great option but there are so many great restaurants within walking distance. You should place comments cards in the rooms for guests to fill out. I don't like the fact that you allow pets either. Pets should stay home where they belong. God Bless you ALWAYS AND FOREVER thanks for reading my review, and thanks so much for a great extended business trip recently.

I just spent the weekend in Bozeman and my stay at the Kimpton Armory Hotel was exceptional! This is the best place to stay in Bozeman. Walking distance to downtown is great! The top floor bar, pool, and outdoor area is awesome with spectacular views of the city and the mountains! The staff were great, accommodating, and provided over-the-top customer service! I will definitely stay here the next time I am in Bozeman.

Great place, rooftop bar/pool was unmatched after a day of skiing and we had restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The staff was helpful and willing to help. The food was outstanding at the hotel with convenient room service. I recommend checking out the armory the next time you visit Bozeman.

Very comfortable hotel, centrally located with excellent dining options on site. The staff was very friendly and responsive. The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The staff at the rooftop bar/restaurant were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again if we get back to Bozeman.
