When visiting the Colorado Springs are, we are there to visit a cadet on base, as well as site see. I must say that the hotel ... was excellent, always clean, superb breakfast buffet, and the indoor pool was a nice touch. This has been by far the best hotel we have stayed in, the last hotel we were at was the Crown Plaza and that was an absolute nightmare. The Academy Hotel will be the hotel we plan to stay at for future visits. Keep up the good work.

Great location

MickNVAn May 31, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The location of the hotel was within minutes of where our son is attending school. It was easy to find, check-in was a ... breeze, the employees were pleasant and helpful. Although there were some renovation projects going on within the hotel lobby and dining areas, and the repaving of the parking lot, getting in and out of the hotel was not a problem. Everything ran smoothly without inconveniencing our stay. The morning staff at breakfast were always friendly. We would definitely stay there again.

My brother & I had a quick trip to Colorado Springs for our Uncle's funeral. With a hasty pick for our sleeping digs, we ... couldn't have picked better. The Academy was neat, nice, and the staff was great, including our breakfast hostess with the mostness by the nickname of [...]. She made our meal very comfortable and the food was very good. Would reccomend these lodgings to everyone. The price was right too! C.S.
