Travel tips
Being about a mile from I-70 makes this hotel a convenient stop for drivers exploring western Colorado, and it's roughly a 12-minute drive to Colorado National Monument, so plan a morning start to make the most of the park. Grand Junction Airport is about 6.1 miles away, making arrival and departure logistics straightforward. Guests visiting museums like the Museum of the West or Dinosaur Journey Museum should note driving distances vary from about 5 to 13 km, so a car is recommended for covering the area's spread-out attractions.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's location, friendly staff, and overall cleanliness, singling out spotless rooms, bathrooms, and even the elevator. The included breakfast bar is a recurring highlight, with several reviewers specifically mentioning a good food variety and the cinnamon rolls. Some guests staying in suites noted they were larger and more nicely decorated than other Holiday Inn Express properties they'd visited, with a more upscale color palette. A minor complaint mentioned in one review was that the air conditioning wasn't running upon arrival on a hot day, though it cooled the room quickly once activated.
