Holiday Inn Express & Suites El Paso - Sunland Park Area by IHG
Buffet breakfast before a full day of slides
About this hotel
A included buffet breakfast with fresh pastries and pancakes means the morning before a Wet N' Wild Waterworld day starts with everyone fed before the car even leaves the lot, and at 618 reviews and an 8.9 rating this property backs that up with real guest volume. The seasonal outdoor pool gives younger kids a lower-key splash option on an off day, while the fitness centre and business area cover the parents who need to keep something else going during the trip. It is 1.9 km from Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino and about 22 km from El Paso International Airport, with El Paso Museum of Art 10 km away for a rainy or too-hot afternoon. Free on-site parking and accessible-parking spaces complete the practical side. The strongest fact: a breakfast substantial enough that families skip a stop before an early park entry.

Our take
This suits a family that wants a full breakfast handled before an early Wet N' Wild Waterworld start, and that values a high, high-volume review score over a resort-style pool deck; the outdoor pool here is a bonus, not the main draw. Families specifically chasing an indoor pool for a rest day should look at a spa-wellness property instead, since this one's pool is seasonal and outdoors only.
- ✓Eat the included buffet breakfast before an early Wet N' Wild Waterworld start; it saves a stop and keeps kids fed before the heat sets in.
- ✓Book early during school-holiday weeks; an 8.9 rating from 618 reviews means this one fills up.
- ✓Use the free on-site parking and keep the short 1.9 km hop to Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino for an evening out.

Why guests love itThe buffet breakfast is what a family remembers here: fresh pastries and pancakes handled before anyone has to think about food, which matters on a morning when the goal is getting through the gates at Wet N' Wild Waterworld before the crowds and the heat build. The outdoor pool is a fine rainy-day fallback rather than a feature in itself, but between the breakfast, the high review volume, and the short hop to Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino, it reads as a well-run, dependable base for a family trip.
