We were planning to go hiking in Flagstaff on this weekend, but they wanted 40,000 Marriott points for the Fairfield Inn there. I found this Marriott property that was only 15,000 points, despite the fact that it was the weekend of Tsunami on the Square, a big annual festival in downtown Prescott.
The hotel was excellent -- super-clean and very convenient, only a three-block walk to downtown. The staff is friendly, too, and recommended a couple of great restaurants. We enjoyed Bin 239 wine bar and pizzeria right across the street, and also loved Cattleman's steakhouse just a short drive up the road. The Tsunami was also a lot of fun -- some kooky people and entertaining acts. Whisky Row was hopping on a Saturday night, too, but we turned in early to go hiking.
Breakfast in the morning was above-average, with decent pre-made cheese omelets with very tasty, spicy salsa for topping, in addition to the usual pastries, make-your-own-waffles, yogurt, cereal, etc.
Rooms were quiet. My husband heard someone in the hall yelling at her kids late at night, but I didn't hear it. The suite rooms have a sitting area with a couch and chair, desk and sink/fridge right when you walk in, and beds are at the back of the room, so it provides a buffer zone for the noise.
Rooms are spacious, and I always appreciate the bathroom setup where the sink/mirror is outside instead of housed with the shower and toilet. Makes it easier to get ready without bumping into each other.
All in all, one of the best budget hotels I've ever stayed at. I highly recommend it.
