Bottom Line

This three-pearl Hampton Inn is geared toward people visiting the nearby Air Force Academy, a seven-minute drive away. With spacious and immaculately clean rooms, free breakfast and Wi-Fi, plus a large indoor pool and fitness center, the hotel is ideal for Air Force guests and families or business travelers who don’t mind short drives to get around the area. However, it's in a bit of a bland neighborhood (although there is a bowling alley and a cinema nearby) and takes 15 minutes by car to reach downtown Colorado Springs.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hampton Inn & Suites Air Force Academy

Scene

Clean and spacious chain hotel with attractive lobby and restaurant area

Situated off of the beaten path with no other buildings immediately surrounding it, this Hampton Inn is box-like and nearly indistinguishable from others in the chain. Inside, it has a classy, welcoming lobby with a gas fireplace and a couple of leather armchairs. The restaurant where the free breakfast buffet is served has attractive stacked stone pillars and chandelier lamps over both low and high bar tables. Most people who stay here choose the hotel because of its proximity to the nearby Air Force Academy.

Location

Near the Air Force Academy in an otherwise empty part of town

This Hampton Inn feels far away from everything, but it's located about a seven-minute drive from the United States Air Force Academy. It's surrounded by open space and empty roads, with a few commercial buildings on the horizon. The location is convenient to the Air Force Academy, but it's about a 15-minute drive to downtown Colorado Springs, and a 25- to 30-minute drive to Manitou Springs, the Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, the Cave of the Winds, and Colorado Springs Airport. A car is more or less required to get anywhere, and there is a movie theater, bowling alley, a handful of chain restaurants like P.F. Changs, a seven-minute drive down the road.

Rooms

Immaculate and well-equipped rooms with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers

Although all of the rooms and suites at the Hampton Inn are nearly identical, they are spacious and immaculately clean. All rooms and suites come with a large flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi access, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. Rooms have pale-teal accent walls. Headboards, dressers, desks and nightstands are made of attractive dark wood. Bathrooms have wooden accents and all come with shower/tub combos. Some rooms have views of the Air Force Academy campus or mountains in the distance.

Features

Free buffet breakfast with hot items, indoor pool, outdoor hot tub, and fitness center

A free continental breakfast buffet with eggs, waffles, cereal, yogurt, juice, and coffee is served daily and there's a large convenience store in the hotel that sells snacks and drinks throughout the day. Free coffee, tea, and hot cocoa are available in the lobby day and night. The indoor pool is large but with little room around the sides. The fitness center has a variety of new treadmills, bikes, and weight equipment. The outdoor hot tub, while overlooking the outdoor parking lot, is pleasant on cold evenings.

Other features include a small business center with computers and a large meeting room with several tables and chairs, plus presentation screen, TV and all necessary audio/video equipment. The hotel offers coin-operated laundry facilities and laundry services as well as free parking.
