What it means for airline travelers

Good for Academy visits. The hotel works well for Air Force Academy graduations, parents’ weekends and football games, which tend to fill local hotels. Book early for those dates.
Picking an airport. Colorado Springs (COS) is the closer airport. Denver (DEN) has far more flights, which helps standby travelers, but it means a long drive south.
