The hotel was in a great location, walkable to shops, restaurants, and bars. There was a bar next to the front of the lobby and an entrance to a karaoke bar in the back of the lobby. The hotel was built in the 1920's and seems not to have been renovated since. The bedding and pillows were lumpy, and the top cover was frayed at the bottom. The curtains were old and when you sat on one of the chairs, the cushion sank down. The bathroom shower curtain was sad.

Not very clean.. carpet looked 50 years old with 50 years worth of dirt. Found miscellaneous items under bed ,lots of debris, coins, the top of a pen , other things I couldn’t reach. You could tell under the bed has not been vacuumed for a while. I understand it’s old , but it could’ve been cleaner.
The bathroom sink drained very SLOW!
Didn’t use the shower for fear of slow draining.
Convenient location!
Probably wouldn’t go back.
The place is cute, but old. The shower had a rain shower head. Not great. Not easy to rinse your hair, not to mention feeling like you’re drowning the whole time. This location is loud. Especially on Saturday night. There was a rave in the hotel..the bed was comfortable.
The room has a sewage smell, dusty, dirty pillows, the bed sheets stinks too. The double lock is obviously broken. It’s beyond the cleaning staff ability if they don’t change the pillows when they need too. It has some dirty marks in it. Wall is thin as you can literally hear the sounds of everyone passing the room. We can’t have decent sleep and over Friday night it was extremely noisy because of the bar down stairs. Front desk staff were not friendly at all. We’ve got the vintage feel of staying in a 100+ year hotel. Their internet connection is extremely slow don’t expect to use it for work. You’ll be disappointed. They have locked internet and they wont let you use a more reliable internet connection which is exclusive for employee use only. (Maria, David’s wife)
Check in staff were very cut n dry but efficient and knowledgeable. The room had a musty smell maybe carpet and day 1 we had luck with parking but sat was terrible and we never got any guidance so we drove around a lot and weren't familiar with parking fees. All nite loud noises due to bar and street sounds was terrible and we are older guests so we will not be staying in the future. The room was cold even with heater and mattress lumpy and uneven.
Showed up at 3 for check in after calling ahead to confirm and was not able to get in until 4pm since it was being cleaned. Get to the room and the sheets were obviously used I ran to get a maid myself who admitted she rushed and forgot. I had them change the sheets. The girl up front was dismissive and gave no resolution or updates she said she didn’t know anything she was alone. The street noise has booming bass from the clubs on the first floor of the building that are going at 1am with no end in sight. I am young and traveling and reviews did not match this place.

The hotel is really badly aged. My room was carpeted, looked pretty nasty. Shower tile needed work and wasn’t good. I wouldn’t stay there again.

I think the mattress were original from 1926. There were no blackout drapes, but on the positive side it’s an awesome old hotel the great bar also the windows did not fit properly so you heard all the noise from the outside.

Excellent cocktail bar attached. At the heart of Flagstaff. Plenty of casual eating places within minutes. AVERY social scene every night
Wonderful old hotel with lots of charm. Clean rooms, comfortable beds. Lots of loud partying in downtown Flagstaff on weekend nights but the front desk provides earplugs on request.
No A/C in any room. Had large rave party in there large bar disco. People brought in their own large speakers. Nobody in motel could sleep till after 3am. Whole hotel loud music and thumping base music

Great location!
It’s an older hotel; but, it was fine! Saturday night noise from downstairs was pretty loud even being on the 4th floor. The location was great for exploring town. Parking is first come, first served and not much of it.
great area. terribly loud hotel. your bed is right by the door and it’s above a bar with open hallways and stairwells. people yelling all night.
plus the staff walks in on you an hour before checkout.
