The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs

What a fun hotel at a great price! I never would have thought to stay here, except we were recommended it by my brother-in-law. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside was a lovely surprise. There is plenty of space to sit and hang out downstairs. It's dimly lit in the evenings, which give it a great calm, relaxing vibe. The pool is indoor on the first level and there wasn't any off putting smells or otherwise. It was a decent temperature - though could be a smidge warmer. The room and beds were very comfortable! Breakfast was delicious - especially the omelet station! Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Would absolutely stay again!

This hotel feels luxurious , really feels like a resort hotel. But make sure you watch your bank account when you go out to eat in there restaurant. They help themselves to a tip without permission. Our bill was 62 something they charged us 80, My fiancée and I made a reservation for 3 days, paid just under $300 , we went swimming this morning (on our second day) just to come back to our room to be told we have to check out or pay for another night. When we made the reservation, the nightly rate was 81 today they charged us 145 for 1 night!!! The staff here is also rude and inconsiderate of there guests. I've stayed at many hotels and I've never felt this way on any of them. Because this has never happened, I am highly disappointed.

Great room. Great price. Great location. No complaints about cleanliness or service. The included breakfast is a huge perk and this hotel ended up being one of the nicer places we stayed while in town.

This was a very nice hotel. Everyone was polite and courteous. I was greeted upon arrival and quickly shown the way to my room. As I walked to my room. The ambience and decore was so great. I love the fact they have the pool centered dead in the center of the hotel.The breakfast was awesome. I was grateful for the fresh made to order egg white omelet, French toast , ham and sausage were on point.The cooks and hostesses were so polite and chilled. The sweet tea was just right no complaints here. They had so many options to choose from so you definitely had variety.We will definitely be back. I would recommend them to family and friends.

The staff and hotel are great. Older hotel but feels modern. Room is clean and comfortable. Near the free way but not to close and accessible to different shopping areas.

This was a very nice experience for me and my family. A total of 8 of us stayed in this hotel. We checked in late on a Wednesday evening. The lady that checked us in was super nice. As we walked in through the front doors we all were surprised to see how beautiful it was inside. We had a room on the 4th floor. My other family members had rooms on the 2nd floor which confused them a bit because they had to take the stairs found on the opposite side of the hotel to where the elevators were. The rooms were clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom's decor was modern and sleek, however left little sink area for your stuff. My favorite part of our stay was their complimentary breakfast. It's very organized as well. You get a blue breakfast ticket per person, per stay. They had an omelette station, waffle station, fruit, bacon, sausage, biscuits, eggs, gravy, cereal, toast, and of course, juice and coffee. Everything was delicious! They had an inside pool. Initially, we thought how weird because it was in the middle of the lobby, but thankfully no one was inside both nights we were there. My son and hubby played ping pong and foosball near the pool. There was an outside patio area right next to all this. My guys loved having it all to themselves. It's location is great because it's in the middle of everything. To be honest, I'm a bit confused to why other reviews were so bad when we had a great time here. Can't wait to go back!

Have been to this hotel multiple times. Always a great stay. Clean rooms, attentive staff, and great breakfast selection. Great value, love the fireplace in the lobby, and would highly recommend.

Humid room but A.C. Amazing breakfast Amazing pool especially during night Amazing customer service at falcons bar & grill buffet I had a great time

This is my home when in the Springs when visiting from downtown Dallas Tx. . I also own mountain forest property in this area so it makes sense to stay here. I've stayed here so many times, either you love it or hate it. I love it for the amazing service provided, generous breakfast buffet, and this hotel has a 80's vibe and decor. Very well maintained. The indoor has that Astro dome look and feel. Very active hotel at night, kinda romantic, and has a bar restaurant that is amazing. This is a Colorado gem!!! Enjoy your stay

My stay at this hotel has been mixed at times but when I had an issue, I sent an email to the general manager, Elizabeth, and recieved a prompt, kind reply, which I really appreciated. I am currently staying here and the place is very cool, although some of the amenities (pool and bar/grill) have had limited use while I have been here. I'm hoping our last evening and morning go well, and if they do, I'll come back and edit this. I would give this a soft recommendation, but it has definite potential and I would consider staying here again in the future if I come back this way.
