Holiday Inn Express & Suites Muskegon - Grand Haven by IHG
Breakfast, a pool and pets all covered
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Muskegon - Grand Haven combines free breakfast, an indoor pool and hot tub, and pet-friendly rooms into one stay, a useful combination for a family traveling with a dog as well as kids who want a swim before or after Michigan's Adventure. Its walking distance to Independence @ Texas Roadhouse and Culver's covers dinner without needing the car again once everyone is tired from a day of slides. A fitness center and business center round out a stay that works equally well for a family trip or a quick overnight, and the property lists itself as accessible and smoke-free throughout, with free parking and Wi-Fi standard across every room. None of that requires a resort-level room rate, which is part of why families weighing several options near WildWater Adventure keep Holiday Inn Express & Suites Muskegon - Grand Haven by IHG on their shortlist each summer.
- Free breakfast
- Pet-friendly
- Indoor pool
- Walkable dining
Our take
This is one of the more complete chain-hotel picks on the list, covering breakfast, a pool and pets in one stay. Families wanting a lakefront setting or a downtown location should compare it against Shoreline Inn or Delta Hotels instead, since this property prioritizes convenience over a view. The trade-offs are worth weighing against the other picks here before booking, but for the right trip it earns its place.
- ✓Bring the dog along; the pet-friendly rooms pair easily with the free breakfast and indoor pool here.
- ✓Walk to Culver's or Texas Roadhouse for dinner rather than driving after a long day at WildWater Adventure.
- ✓Use the indoor pool and hot tub on an evening the family decides to skip a second park day.

Why guests love itWe picked this Holiday Inn Express specifically because it covered both the dog and the free breakfast in one booking, which simplified planning for our WildWater Adventure trip. The walk to Culver's for dinner meant we never had to load everyone back into the car after a tiring park day. Nothing about the stay felt like an afterthought, which mattered more than we expected after a long first day of slides.
