A prime location near I-29 and the stores and restaurants along 32nd Avenue makes the sleek and modern Holiday Inn Express & Suites Grand Forks, a AAA Three Diamond hotel, a perennial favorite with Grand Forks visitors. Fuel up with a complimentary breakfast and a hot cup of coffee or tea in your room before you shop ’til you drop at Columbia Mall and explore the boutiques, arts and antique shops downtown.

Warm up in the heated indoor pool and hot tub after enjoying the city’s sledding hills, ice rinks and cross-country skiing trails. (The hotel boasts a well-appointed fitness center, too.) Then, sink into the plush pillow-top bed to celebrate a day well spent.

AAA Inspector Notes: “This hotel is located near restaurants and shops including big box retailers. Up-to-date rooms feature ample USB ports, universal plugs and electrical outlets to power your mobile devices.”
