We absolutely loved our stay. We wish we had more time to spend but we had a great look around and saw the entire facility. Our son is at USAFA and it was so convenient to stay as close as possible. Look forward to another stay and hopefully get to see the visitors center completed.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the hotel to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The staff were very friendly and the facilities were immaculate. We got a couples massage at the spa after we checked out. The spa was on the level of a five star hotel. The massage was great and the spa’s facilities were outstanding. I definitely recommend this hotel and if possible visit the spa. I will return again

Beautiful new hotel with amazing amenities! We frequent CS driving back and forth from TX to MT and this was a great hotel for us. We have two small dogs, it is pet friendly. They gave us dog treats, a water bowl and a toy for the dogs. The lobby bar is great and we enjoyed dining at Pamela's. They were able to get us in last minute. The bed wasn't super comfortable but the room was cozy and it was a great price.

Long Awaited Polaris Hotel
We were very excited to stay in the new Polaris Hotel. The rooms were very nice and clean and new. We loved the decor in the room which reflected the various icons of the Air Force Academy. Every amenity and comfort have been well thought out, and it was first-class! We enjoyed our stay and plan to frequent the hotel again in the near future!

Limited menus and dining options. Pamela’s had a strange dinner menu, two sections were for shared items with your table, individual plate menu very limited. My husband got an individual plate, so I got a salad because the options weren’t great. They were out of hamburgers, so there were only a few choices, none sounding very good. Maybe they will expand the options after it’s been open longer.

Took my husband to hotel Polaris for his birthday. We only stayed one night but this place has our hearts. The staff was warm, friendly and accommodating and the room was beautiful. The restaurants were amazing and the decor was so cool! Bartenders at all the bars in hotel Polaris were incredible and we had a blast finishing our night off with Kenny at the bar downstairs next to Pamela’s. Will definitely be returning with the kids now that we know it’s a very family friendly and inviting establishment. 10/10 would recommend!

Beautiful hotel
Beautiful place in a beautiful location. However was given a very partial Mountain View room after booking and paying the price of a mountain room. Was really more of a city view. Very disappointed. Also the Elevator is not centrally located and had to walk the entire length of the hotel to get to our rooms and back. But overall the hotel was very nice with exceptional amenities.

Close but not quite there.
The property was beautiful and spotless. Beds very comfortable. Staff was friendly and halpful. However , water in bathroom was not hot. Padtries at coffee shop were stale and overpriced. Dinner at Pamelad was ok but should be better for the price. Food was not hot when delivered to table. None of the bars had coffee so no coffee drinks available.

What a fabulous property! The common areas are very well appointed to handle large groups for casually visiting. The rooms, although not large, have everything one needs and have wonderful linens and lighting. Only two areas of complaints and they are entirely personal. 1) The coffee pot in room only makes expresso, which was a disappointment to this coffee/tea drinker. 2) No restaurant or room service served food after 10:00, which was a disappointment when we were hungry after our late evening activities. This may be something they change as the season picks up. The highlight was the attentiveness of the staff. I have never received a text at other hotels inquiring when would be a good time to tend to my room when I had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door. Very classy. I must give a shout out to the staff at Pamela’s who accommodated our large and ever changing number in our party. They were very flexible and professional and provided a very memorable night for old friends. We can’t wait to return!

Very impressed.
Amazing stay. Everyone was so friendly and ready to help, right from the moment we came up to the door. The room was very comfortable, and definitely clean! The hotel is new, so everthing was definitely it excellent condition. The beds were very comfortable and the shower and bathroom very nice. I used the treadmills in the gym twice. Very good experience. They had apples and water, and clean towels. I saw a yoga area, and several other pieces of equipment. The view from the lobby and west facing rooms is so beautiful. A flawless view of the mountains. I saw a nice pool and cabanas and lounge chairs. They were all covered in a foot of snow during our stay, but it will be great in the warm weather. A cute teddybear sits on the bed, as well. I highly recommend this hotel.
