Holiday Inn Express

Project Description

One thing is certain, with record-setting attendance at events like the BNP Paribas Open and the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, there are plenty of visitors who welcomed the arrival of the valley’s newest hotel. As the local scene continues to expand well beyond these now-traditional tourist draws, there becomes a substantive need for durable budget-friendly accommodation that does not sacrifice quality for cost. The Holiday Inn Express in Indio provides guests with all the standard amenities and provides the key elements to a great stay: a great night’s sleep and the ability to get things done! Watkins Landmark Construction continued in the Holiday Inn tradition with rock-solid construction, effective project management, and timely delivery.

Challenges

The biggest challenge was framing a building in 120-degree heat. It was a safety hazard and we had to make sure all workers were cool and well hydrated.

Results

  • A hotel that fits the need of the ever-increasing amount of tourists visiting the Valley every year.
  • Filling the need for a budget-friendly accommodation that doesn't sacrifice quality for cost.
