The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs
Amazing hotel! The ambiance with the warm fireplace, the restaurant food was delicious. The rooms were super clean and really nice. Friendly staff! The only flaw I’d say is the shower was really light pressure. But other than that, I’d want to stay here again!

The Antlers, a Wyndham Hotel
Tired/worn down hotel. Room needed an update. Not luxurious or felt special…just a room with a view. Lobby was nice, but everything else just looked run down.
