One of the United States' most popular natural wonders is the Grand Canyon. Approximately 5 million people visit this national park each year. For budget-minded travelers, the Valle, Ariz., area offers a variety of hotels that are conveniently located and friendly on the wallet.
Located on the outskirts of Valle, The Dumplin Patch Bed and Breakfast offers accommodations that are geared to be more homey than a traditional hotel. There are only three guest rooms, but the price is one of the best that travelers will find in the area. The Hopi Room has room for four to five guests. The Mariposa Room is well-suited for a couple or a family with a small child, with its queen bed and available extra cot. The Navajo Suite has two bedrooms, two televisions and its own fireplace. The Dumplin Patch offers guests a full breakfast made to order each morning, a hot tub to relax in after a day of sightseeing, and a large courtyard and outdoor fire pit, where the hosts roast marshmallows with the guests when the weather permits.
