Here's a finca hotel one kilometer away from Parque del Cafe. I've stayed there many times. Check their website:

For hotels in Armenia area, I use Claudia at

They have a great selection and she is very helpful. Here's an article about the region:

As far as things to do in Manizales & Parque de los Nevados - try Peter's guide:

poorbuthappy.com/colombia/node/21616

Most of the excursions to Nevado Del Ruiz begin early from Manizales. Many of the hotels in Manizales offer this excursion and you can also try:

Stayed at the Hotel Fundadores in Manizales. (Really nice hotel in a really nice area, more of a upscale area)
1) Took a cab from the bus terminal to the hotel. Cost was 3000 pesos.
2) Cost
a. 85,000 con discount. Just ask for it. This is for one person. 50,000 for additional persons.
b. 118 regular price for one person.
c. 168 regular price for 2 beds. 50,000 for additional person.
3) Nice / clean little hotel. It is closer to a three star hotel. Rooms are nice. Warm water with little water pressure. TV with cable. Nice view to park, church.
4) Wifi is available, if you have computer with Wifi access. I had problems connecting from a room in the far back. Ask for a room closer to the front of the hotel and had no problems.
5) Restaurant is available. Breakfast is included. I did not try it; there are lots of other options.
