Here’s a news release from the Hualapai Lodge on Route 66 in Peach Springs, Ariz.:
The Hualapai Lodge, owned and operated by the Hualapai Nation at Grand Canyon West, has placed new premium beds in all 60 of its rooms. The rooms now feature Elite 1350, FR Plush Serta mattresses and premium Serta box springs.
“We placed one of the industry’s most comfortable beds in the Hualapai Lodge to provide our visitors with the most relaxed night before and after their day exploring the Grand Canyon,” said Nancy Echeverria, Manager of the Hualapai Lodge.
This is canny marketing. You always have a fair number of people who hike into the canyon, and would welcome a top-notch mattress on which to rest their weary bones.
And those who brave riding that primitive road to Grand Canyon Skywalk would probably love those Sertas after being jostled for 30 miles. 😉 But there are plans (finally) to start paving the road to Skywalk sometime this year, and it will be done, weather permitting, by 2010.
