For this State Park hotel, a 2-night stay is required when booking rooms. Each guest reservation is given a Friday pm through Sunday am booking. This is what you will see when you go into our portal to book. While your booking will be for 2 nights regardless, you can plan to check in Saturday if you’d like. BUT- the party will be bumpin’ Friday night at Nolan’s (the hotel bar), so we encourage you to come hang with us! If you’d prefer to book at another hotel, no problem! We recommend the nearby: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Zion 1100 33rd St, Zion, IL 60099 Please note we do not have a wedding block of rooms at the Holiday Inn above. There will not be a shuttle available to this hotel.
