The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs
Outstanding service. Quick and easy check in. Rooms are spacious and very clean. The indoor pool was heated. The kids loved it and the game room. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant was excellent! I will be staying here any time we come to the Springs. The price was unbelievably great!
