Holiday Inn Express and Suites Page sits in the town of Page, the practical hub for everything around Lake Powell. It is the kind of hotel that does the basics reliably: a clean, modern room, a comfortable bed and a location that puts Horseshoe Bend, the Glen Canyon Dam and the Wahweap marina within a short drive. For visitors who plan to spend most of the day outdoors, that is exactly what matters. Many Antelope Canyon tours start early, and having a straightforward, well-run base with easy road access makes those departures less stressful. The hotel suits couples, families and small groups who value predictability over resort amenities, and it is a good fit for travelers who earn or like to use IHG loyalty benefits.
The strategy for staying in Page is to choose your base for the logistics. Page is small, and the major attractions are all a drive of a few minutes to about fifteen from town: Horseshoe Bend is south of town, the dam and bridge are to the west, Lake Powell's Wahweap marina is a short drive northwest, and the Antelope Canyon tour offices are clustered on and near the highway.
A mainstream hotel like this one lets you treat Page as a gateway, leaving early for a canyon, returning for lunch or a rest in the heat and heading out again for sunset. Dining options along the main road range from casual to sit-down, and the hotel can help with local tips.
Booking advice
Page fills up in spring and fall and over summer weekends, and slot canyon tours and rooms both sell out, so reserve the hotel when you reserve your tours. Ask for a room away from the road if you are a light sleeper, and confirm what is included with your rate, such as breakfast, parking and Wi-Fi, because details vary by date and rate plan.
Remember that the Navajo Nation observes daylight saving time and Arizona does not, so tour start times can differ from your hotel's clock for part of the year; allow a buffer on your first morning. Mornings are cool and afternoons can be hot, so pack layers.
Who it suits
Travelers who want an uncomplicated stay, a reliable room and an easy launch point for a Page itinerary. If you want a view of the lake, consider Lake Powell Resort or the hotels with lakeside rooms; if you want a luxury escape, look at Amangiri; if you want to be among the Navajo Nation's landscapes, look at the Shash Dine retreat.
For everyone else, a straightforward modern hotel in town is a sound, flexible choice. Compare rates for your dates, check cancellation terms and build in a spare day for weather, because canyon tours can be cancelled when storms threaten.
