Canyon Plaza Resort

Despite the word “resort” in the name, the Canyon Plaza’s setting is none too pretty, behind the IMAX theater and surrounded by parking lots. Guest rooms are large and comfortable, however, with balconies or patios. The hotel is built around two enclosed skylit courtyards, one of which houses a restaurant and the other a bar and whirlpool. Families should opt for a suite, with its separate small living room. Unfortunately, the hotel is very popular with tour groups and can often feel crowded.
