Where You'll Stay
2 NIGHTS
Location:
Flagstaff
La Quinta Inn & Suites Flagstaff is proud to show off its newly designed communal spaces and guest rooms to travelers passing through. Our new renovations include thoughtful updates and additions with our guest’s needs in mind. From a refreshed lobby with a welcoming "great-room" vibe to new touches and colors in every room, you’ll find a lot to enjoy at our hotel. Staying with us has never been as fun and convenient. Take advantage of all the new amenities and the designs meant to please every taste. Even if we look different, you will still always enjoy a free Bright Side Breakfast® every morning after a comfortable night in our expansive rooms and suites, which are equipped with lots of useful amenities including free high-speed Internet access and coffeemakers (select rooms also have a refrigerator and microwave). Stroll through the sprawling courtyard to a romantic gazebo; relax in the outdoor swimming pool and hot tub.
2 NIGHTS
Location:
Chinle
Located on the high desert of the Colorado Plateau, the Holiday Inn Chinle stands at the entrance to Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The canyon is the second largest in the USA. In huge hollows at the base of the canyon's vertical walls, ancient cliff dwellings of the Anasazi people stand well preserved since their construction more than 10 centuries ago. Petroglyphs both in and near the ruins clearly depict events of the canyon's early inhabitants. The remote location deep within the Navajo Nation removes it from the impact of the modern world and retains the canyon's sense of timelessness.
2 NIGHTS
Location:
Gallup
Smoke-free facility near the Navajo Nation, convenient to Chaco Culture Historic Park, El Morro National Monument, the Painted Desert, the Fire Rock Navajo Casino and the Pueblo of Zuni
