Hotels in Colorado SpringsAn older, family-friendly 3-star near the Air Force Academy
7.7/10
Good family value, but the inviting atrium outshines the uneven rooms.
The Academy is an older, independent 3-star in north Colorado Springs, strongest as a practical family base near the Air Force Academy. Its plant-filled atrium, heated indoor pool and included breakfast give it more personality than a basic roadside hotel. Expedia and Booking.com guests frequently praise friendly staff and comfortable beds. We'd consider it good value if those extras matter more than contemporary finishes.
The catch is consistency: recent Tripadvisor guests repeatedly describe worn bathrooms, maintenance problems and missed housekeeping, while newer Expedia reviews remain mostly positive. Breakfast still earns praise, but several guests report an extra charge for made-to-order omelets despite older advertising suggesting they're included. Expect a driving-based stay rather than a downtown walking holiday. We'd skip it if spotless upkeep, reliably polished service or freshly renovated rooms are priorities.

Expedia and Booking.com guests frequently praise friendly staff and comfortable beds. We'd consider it good value if those extras matter more than contemporary finishes.

Expect a driving-based stay rather than a downtown walking holiday. We'd skip it if spotless upkeep, reliably polished service or freshly renovated rooms are priorities.
Best for: families who want an indoor pool; Air Force Academy visitors; value-minded travelers with a car
Watch out for: dated rooms and uneven maintenance; housekeeping may need chasing; omelets may cost extra
Location: Convenient north-side base off I-25, with nearby shopping and dining; a car helps for sightseeing.
Rooms: Comfortable beds earn praise, but bathroom condition and maintenance vary noticeably.
Cleanliness: Generally positive aggregate ratings, tempered by repeated recent reports of housekeeping lapses.
Service: Many guests praise friendly staff; problem handling is less consistent.
Amenities: Heated indoor pool, breakfast buffet, fitness center, game room and Falcon's Bar & Grill.
Fees and surprises: Parking is free; expect a damage deposit, pet charges and potentially an omelet surcharge.
