Top hotels in Briargate
The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs
We love this hotel because it’s convenient, clean, comfortable and close to our family. It could use some renovation but looks like they are in the process of doing that.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Colorado Springs
The best part was the freshly made omelets, the other food was okay but it wasn't very hot in the chafing dishes. Some silverware was still dirty when it came out of the dishwasher and the plates were ice cold

Motel 6 Colorado Springs, CO - Air Force Academy
A bit rundown, but acceptable for a Motel 6.The layout is strange. Not bad for overnight, but I wouldn't have wanted to do more than a day.
