The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs

The open feeling plants clean air..loved how they pool was so warm. Staff very professional and friendly.

When entering room had a stinky odder. The mattress was too hard for my liking..but the pillows were wonderful.

We appreciated our stay at this hotel. Our room was spacious and quiet. We love the big cozy sitting areas in the lobby and dining area. The breakfast buffet was fresh and delicious. Everything was good, however, the age of the hotel is really starting to show, esp in the room.

The bathroom was very cramped and small. The update sink bowl was not very functional bc it took up too much space on the sink, leaving no room around it. The water pressure in faucet was incredibly strong and would spray water all over the sink with barely a touch. The paint in the bathroom is peeling, the bathtub drain was clogged. All the furniture and decor in the room looks and feels worn and dated. Everything just had an old and dingy feel to it.

I found it to be a very restful experience. The inside court area is beautiful. It's a bit noisy when people are in the pool. I stayed twice - once on the way to my destination, and once on my way back home. The staff was friendly and efficient. The breakfast buffet is large, with staff on hand to make omelets or eggs to order, along with prepared items, baked goods, fruit, juice and coffee. I'm sure I've left some things out.

The only thing I found less than exemplary was the bed on my first stay - it was ok, but felt rather soft and had more "give" when sitting down than I like. But I like a firm mattress, which I had on my second stay.

The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs is a great hotel located at a traffic hub in Colorado Springs. We very much enjoyed the served breakfast. It was way better than other US hotels serve, it was a great start of the day. In addition, there are more than enough dinner or shopping locations in walking distance of the hotel. The area itself is not very interesting for a vacationing traveller, but it is located close to highways through the city so you will get to where you need to go without having to cross the city.

The hotel's interior is fairly old and could use an overhaul. Our AC was pretty loud so we asked the staff to unlock a window for opening. Opening the window wasn't much quieter due to the highway's traffic noise. If you are a light sleeper you might need to bring some ear covering. Other than that the hotel was a good and affordable choice and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Rooms and beds were super comfortable. The bathroom had a sink that section top of a console so limited space for 2 people at the sink but it was pretty in appearance if not functionality. This is our 4th time staying here as our grown daughter and her boys live nearby and we have always been 100% pleased. Only issue we had was someone had turned up the heat in the pool and it was 104 degrees so we couldn't let the little one's go into the pool for a day.

Pool temp was too hot one day so everyone had to stay out of the 104 degree pool.

Common areas were nice. The interior was very clean and well maintained. The included breakfast was among the best I’ve had.

It seems that they are partly through an update of the rooms. I paid for a “deluxe” room based on the pictures on booking.com showing an updated version only to get on of the not yet updated rooms. I was told by staff that deluxe gets better beds an a slightly larger room but not an updated room. I wish that was clear on booking. Also the grounds could use a good bit of weeding. We arrived after dark and my wife’s first comment was “I hope the inside is better than the outside”.

The outside looked very underwhelming, I didn’t know what to expect when I showed up. As soon as I walked through the doors I was absolutely blown away. The pool, game room, restaurant, and lounge all in the same open concept space. We got to our room and it was amazing; it was clean and modern and had all the accommodations. Very nice tv, large tidy bed, plenty of charging spaces as well. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was absolutely fantastic and reasonably priced, then swam in the pool (8 1/2’ deep at one end!) . after swimming we dried off and relaxed by the fire in the lounge room for almost 2 hours, then went to our room to sleep. We woke up in the morning and had breakfast, they had just about everything a hotel could have for breakfast, but they also had chefs cooking up omelettes per order (mind you this is free breakfast). You just walk up to the table and tell them what you want and they’ll whip it up for you. I never write reviews on basically anything but this was the cheapest hotel I had on my 5 day trip, and it was easily 2 or 3 times better than any of the others. Thanks for the mind blowing experience academy.

My only complaint was the hot tub was closed :(

The lobby and common area are very tropical resort style(?), it seems very relaxing. The room is nice and big, there's fridge and microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom is a bit small but clean and comfortable. The breakfast area is nice which located in the ground floor, hot meals choice like sausage, biscuit, French toast, tortilla, pancake, and the best customized egg products like omelette or sunny side up. The parking are is huge and easy to find space.

The shower head is the bathroom is somehow kind of broken, the water is leaking from the ''side'' of the head, and goes all the way to the shower curtain than to the floor. causing mini flood in the bathroom.

We have stayed at this hotel about 6 different times. Our son lives in Colorado Springs and we stay here when we visit him. The rooms and bath are always clean. Beds are just right. Sheets are crisp and bright.Breakfast is the greatest part about staying here. Made to order omelets,waffles are make your own. .Great service all around.

i really can't think of anything we didn't like.

I found it to be very clean but older in decorating. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet in the am, the pictures on the website don’t lie. Staff was friendly and efficient.

No elevator to over half of building. We were moved to a ground level room that was not great due to no elevator to our building. This may have been listed but not noticeable on the booking. We were staying a week and we’re not able to carry luggage up a flight of steps. I would really like to see the room we would have got if able to stay there. Our room had damaged walls, poor lighting, and damaged lamp shades. It was clean.
