Holiday Inn Express is the most kid-friendly hotel in the Grand Canyon area. It offers a continental breakfast with unforgettably scrumptious sweet rolls. A favorite amenity is their indoor swimming pool. Because the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas boast an elevation about 7,000 ft (2133.6 m) outdoor pools may not open until mid-June.
Here's what travelers typically experience:
- Convenience: It's very close to the Grand Canyon's South Rim entrance, making it a convenient starting point for exploring the canyon.
- Amenities: The hotel offers standard amenities for the Holiday Inn Express brand, including a complimentary hot breakfast, free wifi, an indoor pool and hot tub (sometimes crowded), and on-site laundry facilities. Some rooms also have microwaves and mini-fridges, which can be handy for park snacks and drinks.
- Cleanliness and Comfort: Guests generally report clean and comfortable rooms with standard amenities like a coffee maker and flat-screen TV.
- Budget-friendly: Compared to other lodging options near the Grand Canyon, the Holiday Inn Express offers a good value for price-conscious travelers.
- Limited amenities: This is a standard Holiday Inn Express, so don't expect extensive amenities or a luxurious feel.
- Location (for some): While close to the park entrance, it's not directly on the rim. This may not be a dealbreaker for most, but if you crave Canyon views from your room, this location won't provide them.
Overall:
The Holiday Inn Express is a solid choice for budget-minded travelers who prioritize convenience and a clean, comfortable stay near the Grand Canyon. It provides a good base for exploring the South Rim without breaking the bank.
