This place is above average for a road trip stop, but does not quite reach very good, though with a little updating, it could definitely get there. The first surprise was that this "boutique hotel" is in an old motel and definitely retains some of that dated motel feel both in terms of the building decor and the outdated room we stayed in. The bedding was very clean (which to me is the most important thing), and the room was acceptably clean, with the exception of carpets that smelled kind of dirty (I don't know why any traveler's lodging even has carpet when there are so many other cleaner and lower-maintenance options available). We were on the 2nd floor, which meant lugging our luggage upstairs, so a ground floor room would have been a good thing to request. There was definitely some railroad noise, and I was glad to have brought earplugs, since I am a very light sleeper. The building in which breakfast is provided was very simple but cute, decorated with Route 66 memorabilia. The manager did a great job of making guests feel welcome and keeping the food stocked. There were waffles, cereal, fruit, sausages and scrambled eggs (which seemed like the powdered variety) and a variety of beverages. Although the food definitely won't win any culinary awards, it gave us some fuel for the next leg of our trip, was included in the stay and it saved us some time over finding somewhere else to eat, since Flagstaff was not our end destination on this road trip. All in all, a fine place to stay overnight on the way to somewhere else, or maybe for a weekend of hanging out in Flagstaff, but probably not somewhere I would spend an extended stay.

Every staff I encountered was friendly and helpful. Suite was spacious and clean. Convenient parking. Stores and restaurants nearby and bar right next door. Fresh hot breakfast-a super nice guy even made my waffles! Would for sure stay here if we travel to Arizona again!

First and foremost drove a long way and was able to check in a bit early. Had an issue with the first room so phoned down and talk to Amy, she asked me to come down and she would put me in another room. I got down there and she asked if I was okay with moving to an upstairs room? I said no because I was too lazy to lug everything upstairs. She advised me that her intent was to upgrade my room. I was not prepared for the room she put me in. Me and my 2 boys almost did not want to leave it to go play in the snow. Love the black out curtains that are in the rooms and the fact that there are heaters/air conditioners in each room. The room was spotless, the beds were sooooo comfy cozy. I was so pleased with the kitchen I could go on and on, on just that but then I couldn't talk about the Jacuzzi jets in both bathtubs or the fact that there are bathrooms in each bedroom. The free breakfast was awesome. If you want bang for your buck and only a few bucks it was, this is the place to stay. I will stay there whenever I visit up north.

When we first saw the motel, I thought uh oh...old & run down - not the "boutique hotel" I was expecting. However, once inside - I was really impressed - really. Front desk was professional and friendly.

Our room needed a little upgrading - the couch was older, some tiles were cracked in the kitchen area. The bathroom looked like it had recently been upgraded, but the pedestal sink left nowhere to put toiletries. The shower...omgosh - huge rain showerhead, LOVED it. Made up for everything else.

Breakfast and happy hour were included in the price. The cafe manager - I wish I would have gotten his name - was wonderful. He made us feel like old friends, attentive without hovering. That guy should get a raise. Happy hour including grilled burgers and hot dogs - a nice surprise after a long drive.

Internet was super fast.
