What a cute hotel! We didn’t get to enjoy all of the amenities due to our short stay, however everything was wonderful. Sup r comfy bed and linens. Nice water pressure and clean room. The property felt super safe despite having a “motel” setup. Check-in was a breeze and the staff was super friendly. Location is convenient to the cute downtown area. Great value for the experience. Will definitely be back to enjoy a few nights.

Amazing place. I can't say enough good things about this place. Service and amenities are fantastic. Opted for the pool side king room, which was so wonderful. Suspect next time we will get the Cosmic cottage. The outdoor lounge areas were so lovely. Food was great... can't wait to come back.

Really great and relaxing experience. Sydney ( I believe that was her name) at the front desk was great, the check in process super simple, and she had an amenity delivered to our room for a birthday we were celebrating. Megan and Ashley at the bar were really kind and super helpful going through the options they had on tap. The Nordic spa was really a great experience as well. Overall highly recommend.

A great hotel to stay at while visiting Flagstaff! The outdoor seating area with a fire pit was a definite highlight—it added a cozy, romantic atmosphere to the experience. Our room was comfortable with nice beds, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. We also ordered a couple of drinks at the bar, and they were excellent—they made a great Old Fashioned. There were lots of games available for kids and families to enjoy, which made the hotel feel fun and family-friendly. The pool looked very nice too, but unfortunately, the weather was too cold for us to try it. Hopefully, we’ll be back when it’s warmer so we can enjoy it next time.

Absolutely loved the 60s vibe of this place and want to go back. We did the Nordic Spa, which was fun. I will say the staff that led us back to the spa was not clear on what we were supposed to do for the spa or how much time for each portion. We asked questions, but were still a bit confused. Still was a nice experience tho. Loved the pillows in the room, only thing we didn't like in the room was the shower got water everywhere no matter how we positioned the shower curtain. Still one of the nicer hotels I've stayed at.

A Hotel experience doesn’t get any better than this. This Hotel is a whole vibe. The rooms are clean and the soundproofing was impressive. We will return and stay more than just a night. Beds were incredibly comfortable and the signature scent in the rooms makes your stay so yummy. In the evening sit by the fire and enjoy a chill lounge area on the beautiful patio.

Cute little hotel. We stayed with some relatives here. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. I liked the cassettes included with the tape deck. The lounge/bar/market was very lively when we arrived. We chose dinner off property with my husband and I grabbing some wine/water for later. Our family went to the hot tub that night and enjoyed it. We also did the Nordic Experience. No instructions were given to us on when/where to check in, but they did allow us to change our time when we checked in. We had a new girl bring us over and she didn’t cover what time to be ready to go. As we were heading in to change, a bald man was upset that we were just changing and chastised us over our “lateness” although it was just hitting 9:50 am. He then told us that the girl who brought us over definitely told us about the time we needed to be done by. He left then came back nicer. Not sure if the lady running the desk let him know the trainee took us over. We did also have an issue with no shampoo, conditioner, or body wash & some dirty glasses in the room. I had my own toiletries and always assume the glasses are dirty, as they usually aren’t cleaned every time the room is, but still. Overall, I’d go again but definitely not for the price we paid.

I’m completely mystified how people can rave about this motel. I’m guessing they just don’t travel much or when they do, they usually rough it. I booked our room based on the reviews and the photographs, which are very deceiving, giving the impression that the lodge is in a secluded wooded area rather than on a busy street with a lot of traffic and near the railroad line with trains going by regularly. Yes the common areas are great. However, the rooms are horrible! Aside from youth hostels this was truly the worst accommodation I’ve ever stayed in, and I have traveled pretty extensively, including Europe, Africa and Egypt. This is a dilapidated motel that was thrown up with cheap materials 60 years ago, and now in need of serious updating. The rooms are quite depressing with ceilings of painted plywood, walls of thick mottled plaster painted in a sad shade of deep forest green, and the lighting is horrible—so dim, it’s almost impossible to read in bed much less find anything in your luggage, which you have to rummage through because there’s no furniture to unpack your belongings.There is no storage other than a clothing rack with a bench—a version of the rolling racks that hotels use to bring your luggage up to your room, with room enough for only one bag to be open and accessible. All other bags have to stay on the floor with your clothes hung on hooks or the few hangers that are provided, which really doesn’t work for a lot of clothing.The shower/toilet is a tiny room the size of a closet-no exaggeration. Adjacent to that is a single sink with a tiny counter cluttered with an electric kettle and a tray with glasses and coffee fixings. Above that is a narrow shelf for your toiletries, but, again, very small, particularly if you are not traveling alone. Worst of all, if you need privacy, you won’t find it here. I was traveling with my adult son and the shower area is so small with no place for your clothing, so it’s very difficult to change your clothes. Yes, there are two hooks on the wall so you put your wet towel on one of them and basically have to stack your change of clothes on top of the toilet.The adjacent sink area is an open area at the end of the bedroom with no door so your only option is to get dressed in the tiny toilet area.On top of all that, the air conditioning unit is so loud and rattly when the compressor turns on it will wake you from a sound sleep. On the other hand, it drowns out conversations from your next-door neighbors and people walking in the room above you which are a constant irritation due to the thin walls. Last, the beds are so soft and droopy you can’t sit on the edge of them because you’ll slide off—literally—that actually happened to me! Adding Insult to injury, the $182 per night rental fee is completely unjustified. $110 is more in line with the accommodations. Yes, the staff were all very friendly and helpful so in short, I would recommend renting a room elsewhere and visiting the lodge in the evening if you’re looking for a nice lounge/bar and game room to hang out in.

High County Motor Lodge was just the place I needed when doing a staycation in Flagstaff. I had no idea it was here but having a nice hotel close to downtown was needed. I loved the cozy and clean feel, as well as the great food and drinks. The fire pits were lovely and everyone was so kind. The rooms were cozy and nice, aside from the fact that the shower floods a little, one cup was dirty still in the kitchenette, and the cassette player didn't work. I did love, however, the shampoo and conditioner, as well as the lotion provided. It smelled so good and was luxurious. I got a sandwich at the hotel for dinner twice and it was delicious each time. I would love to see more dairy-free options in the future, but the kitchen was able to adjust for the allergy (didn't affect the star rating at all, just a note). Overall, this getaway was so nice and lovely. I will be coming back again.

Was super excited to stay here but was definitely disappointed. The front desk person was not welcoming or kind he seemed very bothered. The room itself was not great at all, as we were approaching our room there was a group of college kids screaming and shouting profanities with their door wide open. The room was a basic motel room with an uncomfy/creaky bed, the room did not feel super clean, we also had a broken full length mirror and cassette player. As others mentioned the walls were incredibly thin. At night I had to turn on white noise on full volume just to block out some of the noise. The real star of this stay is the amenities we really enjoyed the Nordic spa experience, we also loved the game room area and enjoyed playing pool and other board games. Their food selection was definitely lacking and the rendition of pizza was not great and had no flavor it felt like a waste of money. Based on the room and service I would not stay here again or recommend it to friends, I could however recommend coming for a drink at their bar and to hangout and play games.

I didn't stay at this hotel (though I wish I had!) so my review is for the Nordic sauna experience, which was lovely! You get your own personal sauna for 50 minutes along with access to a plunge pool (brrr!), a shared hot tub, and a private relaxation area outdoors next to a fire pit. It was kind of cold for me but you can relax in the room connected to the sauna which is room temperature. I wish the shower was an option because the cold plunge was freezing (yes those are sheets of ice), but the shower was out of order. Still it was refreshing and lovely. I like to use the sauna as a ritual, for prayers for the community, so having it solo was lovely. And $75 for 50 minutes is a great price for Arizona where most sauna access is far more expensive. Also beautiful scenery and there's a General Store with great food (breakfast pizza, anyone) to readjust after the experience. My only complaint is the music in the sauna; would've preferred a quiet experience but was able to tune it out pretty easily.

Unfortunately, I have to amend my previous review to a 1-star. I realized today I was charged $83 greater than my confirmed total without any notice or receipt of this. I called the hotel to ask and they told me I was charged for the sauna experience which was listed as a $0 enhancement when I booked my room. It distinctly said "$0.00/per order including all fees." There are also other enhancements offered that do have prices attached to them, like a pet guest stay and conjoining rooms. However, the sauna experience was listed as $0. When I spoke to someone on the phone today, the woman told me that by selecting this enhancement offered at $0, I was telling them that I wanted to book the sauna experience at full price. However, it didn't list that anywhere on the website. I also wasn't given this information via email, during check-in or when I was checking in for the sauna experience. The woman on the phone confirmed that it doesn't explicitly say this anywhere on the website. I was told a manager would call me back. I never received a call back from the manager but someone else called me back and couldn't explain why this enhancement was shown at $0 with no details or explanation of a further charge. He gave conflicting information, saying that he had no idea how we booked the enhancement for $0 because the website no longer offers that option (conveniently). He told me that when he spoke to the woman who checked us in, that she said she did tell us about the fee. I let him know that neither myself or my boyfriend were told this, as we would've canceled immediately. He didn't acknowledge this and continued to speak over me, telling me that the worker said they told us so they wouldn't offer any refund. The lack of customer service was appalling; I continued to emphasize that had we been told at any point during the booking point through the experience, we would've canceled, but he just said "the lady checking you in said she told you, so we won't refund you" I also never received any sort of receipt for this either, my card was charged automatically. This enhancement has since been taken off the website, so I am unable to provide a screenshot to my credit card to dispute this overcharge and am left with an $83 fraudulent charge. I would absolutely stay away from this hotel at all costs.

I haven't written a yelp review in I don't know how long, but I'm laying in bed (the most comfortable bed of my life by the way) at the High Country Motor Lodge writing this review only having been here a couple of hours so far because I'm already THAT obsessed. I might be a little biased because we just got married at Casa Loma Beach Hotel in May (one of their properties in California), but their properties just cannot be beat. The aesthetic is so beautiful and relaxing. And FINALLY a hotel that was made for people who are an adult height. I swear everywhere we go - hotels, airbnbs, even our own dang house, the sink is super low or the showers are cramped. Not here! The sink is the perfect height for teeth brushing and face washing. Such an underrated thing. Shower is big enough for my 6'2 body builder husband. Even the light switch in the bathroom is high up on the wall. Such a niche and random, but nice thing to have. We have had zero issue with hearing any neighbors or doors. Our room is the coziest temperature. And it has a mini fridge which is so nice for leftovers. The body wash smells incredible (although maybe a little drying for the skin I suppose, but they also have lotion). I did think I was stuck in the bathroom because I couldn't get the handle to turn to open the door, but my husband has had no issue with it so it seems to be user error haha. The bar and fire pits were so popular, but there was definitely still room for us if we wanted to join in on the fun. We are doing the spa experience in the morning, which I'm excited for! We will definitely be back here many, many times.

beautiful place. absolutely love the details and the vibe they are going for. definitely one of those newly updated hotels so i think theres still some quirks. ex: doors needed to be jiggled in order to lock so that felt a bit unsafe. other than that its a great location with an awesome cafe and bar.

Can't recommend in good faith to anyone with kids. "Restaurant" if you want to call it that has limited menu with nothing of substance for kids or a grown man. Management (Sonny) was incredibly rude and condescending. Sauna caught on fire while we were in it. Will not be returning.

Fantastic place to stay. Very different and fun. Great little "General Store" with cool items and snacks. Yes, this place is not "low price" but that was okay with us. Very nice atmosphere in the lobby/lounge area with families and couples having fun. They have Board Games and alot of people were playing. Food was great. Pizza and Sandwiches were top notch.

This place was super cute! Very trendy, very nice vibes! The fireplaces were great, when you can find one open, there just weren't that many. I know it is a pet friendly hotel, and the pets didn't make a lot of noise at night, but this is a very active hotel with kiddos and doggos, so rough for when you plan for a quiet stay, but made what we could work. Walls are also a little thin, so it all echoed throughout, many conversations heard lol

First off I would like to say that I did really enjoy my stay at the HCML. The aesthetic was really moody and so much more visually interesting than any chain hotel. With that said, there was an attention for detail missing throughout the experience. I suppose I perked up about it being a 4 star lodging, and may have idealized what that means, this is after all a converted motel, in a small college town. The price is reasonable where ever you book, considering the amenities* *The large pool is not heated!!! First thing I noticed is the staff is relatively young compared to other hotels, and definitely were aloof in their attitude, rather than super hospitable, but it was fine because they were all extremely competent. They have a lil general shop (merch, coffee, drinks, snacks), a bar, and dining options which you can order at either shop or bar. They have a bunch of cool, trendy beverages (alcoholic and non), and straightforward cocktails and beer at the bar. Lounge style seating throughout the space and game room (pool table, foosball, board games in a cabinet). Space would be better with two pool tables and no foosball imo. 2 Queen bed room was cheapest. Room had same cool and dark tone aesthetic, with moody earth tones. So this is where some of the issues came up for me... -AC unit was really caked in dust, definitely needed to be cleaned regularly and was not. -Bathroom had no ventilation, so it was always kinda humid -Not enough outlets in convenient locations -Bed frame bigger than mattress so always bumped my shins moving around -TV only had 40 channels, separate app to screen-cast to room TV Things I liked about the room (w/ caveats): Cassette tape radio/BT combo was really cool, except we had to ask for a replacement because there was some tape stuck in ours. Pillows and sheets were extremely comfortable and felt high quality. The absolute highlight tho, was the water pressure in the shower. Absolutely insane, so good! Great water quality, hair never been softer. The large pool, hot tub, and "nordic spa experience" were major draws for us. We visited in May and were not prepared for how cold it is in Flagstaff, as we live in a low altitude, coastal city. The hot tub was sizeable and really great touch, especially for night time star gazing, though I wish they dimmed the lights, as flagstaff is marketed as a certified dark sky city. The nordic spa experience left much to be desired. There's not much explaining done unless you explicitly ask questions. If you book it they don't tell you when to show up, with what to show up with, how the whole process is gonna go. The facilities themselves are cool, but have an issue with the details as well, that didn't make the experience feel relaxing. First off it's not very private. If you want to sit by the fire pit or cool off under the ice cold shower, the space is shared between two saunas/groups, additionally second floor rooms can see into the "private" space. So there is not enough privacy to be in the nude, as is normal for a spa experience. Lets talk about the sauna itself...Not super well insulated, there was music in the sauna (which could not be turned off), but we could also hear the music from the other side at the pool and hot tub. The sauna door was also difficult to open and close. Overall, if I ever come back to flagstaff, I would probably stay here again.

I've stayed here several times and loved it. I raved so much about it that all my family members came to visit. My most recent visit has sadly changed things for me. I found crusty used towels hanging behind the bathroom door and hairs all over the shower. Heavy weed smell from the guests next door who were moving furniture around. The staff member who checked us in and out was very prickly both times, and seemed visibly irritated at the request for a receipt. The receipt was never sent and then it took another two phone calls to finally obtain it. The vibe has gone downhill over the years it seems...

Cute boutique motel. Rooms are revamped and vintage style, it's cute, nice finishing touches. It's what I'd expect with a high traffic, mountain destination, college town hotel. The price was decent, can't complain. Plus their lobby, bar restaurant and lounge area is decorated nice and pretty much has everything you need if you didn't want leave the premises. Coffee, cocktails, food. Plus it's within walking distance to many places. There were a couple minor tweaks that could be made- floor swept especially by bed and under bed, they provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash attached to the shower wall but our body wash was completely empty, neighbors played music until 2 am and we could hear it all night through our wall, and also smelled like they were smoking. But overall the motel itself was worth the value we paid. We also stayed Tuesday- Wednesday not weekend prices.

First of all, the Lobby is gorgeous as well as the bar! The room seemed clean as well. I'm giving 3 stars for a couple reasons, one being the $35 charge for checking in early is a bit much in my opinion. There also is an "amenity fee" but the pool and spa are both closed so that's a bit disappointing as well. While the room seemed to be clean, the toilet rocked whenever you would sit on it and make an audible sound as well. This place will charge you a fee anywhere they can it seems like, it was comfortable enough but a 4pm check in or a $35 fee just isn't reasonable to me.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Lodge. it's absolutely beautifu the rooms are very charming l and during the night i had the pleasure of chatting with the manager Sonny whom was so kind and welcoming. My only issue and the reason for only 3 stars is with the General Store. Both times I've come to this property I've gotten the same batista in the mornings after checking out. I believe her name is Grace I'm not entirely sure, but both times I've stayed she's been quite rude. now I understand no one wants to wake up early and make small talk with strangers but now both times I've come in at two entirely different times once at 7AM and another time at around 10AM i think and it's the same. Upon coming into the store she ignores us once I finally say some thing or start talking she'll finally get up and start helping us. I asked her about the coffee they serve just asking where it's from, she only shrugged than asked if i aas purchasing anything else . it feels very much like she doesn't want to be here and its offputting and disappointing. On the other hand the other girl that was working was so sweet. she talked with us and was extremely helpful with questions about the area. Just wished the environment felt more welcoming.

Really cool spot in Flagstaff. This is somewhat under the radar. Not sure when it opened but definitely one of the nicer places to stay in Flagstaff. The common areas are really nice. I loved the decor. They have a nice store where you can buy gifts. We really enjoyed hanging out at the bar. They also have a pool table and a big selection of table games. Outside there's multiple fire pits and a pool. They also have hot tub. The rooms were okay, not as nice as the common areas but we slept very comfortably. I loved the hot tea bags they had in the room. I would definitely come and stay again.

This hotel is fancy in its own way, but very appropriate for the area it's in. We snagged a room for 2 nights at just over $100/night, and I feel like that was well worth it. A few nights before was around $300/night, which is far too much for what you get (and don't get) staying here. Checking in set me off on the wrong foot because "early check in" -- despite the fact our room was beyond ready and it was 2:30pm -- cost an extra $35. It seems anything before 4pm is early and the charge applies. I got it taken off when I checked out, but good to be aware of. I was also surprised the saunas were extra...not sure why, but I didn't ask how much. Pool? Yes. Super cold. Did not go in. Hot tub? Yes. Glorious. This is an old motel turned fancy-ish motel, so the two floor setup remains but the rooms are generally updated and the bed was super comfortable. Just what we needed after a long day of hiking and driving. We did grab food twice, one breakfast and one lunch, and both were good. It's an order, grab a table, and eat there / take it to go kinda vibe, which works well here. There were fire pits at night but we missed out on this given our other plans. Super easy to get to, comfortable, and well priced if you plan it right. Just keep an eye on those extra charges.

Totally overrated. They charged me a "resort fee". Gotta love the hidden costs. There is plenty of parking; the charge is completely predatory. Plus the pool is out of service for months. They ran out of pizza dough 7pm on a Friday night. Food menu was limited. Not much to choose from. Understaffed. Be prepared to serve yourself. Oh, but they will want a tip. And don't forget you already paid a resort fee. The rooms are unsightly. The AC goes on and off every 5-10 mins and sounds like an airplane landing. The walls are thin. I hear everything. Don't expect any sleep. Which is probably why I'm ranting as I wake up this morning wishing I chose another spot. The bed is comfy and the room has vintage touches (cassette player, kettle coffee, luggage rack). I'm sure youngsters, hipsters, and nonsensical individuals might enjoy this place. But if you are looking to get your monies worth, go somewhere else. Not worth the hype or vibe. It's an old run down motel with lipstick.

Really wonderful experience for me and my 12 year old daughter. The hotel is retro and rustic with a cozy but updated lounge. The grounds are pretty with a lot of outdoor space including fire pits that burn all day and night. The room was rustic and clean and comfortable... but definitely motel-style. We ate breakfast from the restaurant and it was really good, esp the breakfast pizza. The bar is cute and gets busy in the evenings with a lively atmosphere and really good cocktails. It snowed on our trip so we spent several hours reading in the lounge area which was cozy, beautiful, and had great music playing. We also did the Nordic sauna experience which was fantastic... invigorating and so much fun! I've read here that sometimes the service isn't great... not true for our 4-day stay. Everyone was really nice and accommodating. Overall HCML is an updated throwback that feels like home. Boutique for sure and definitely worth a visit if you're here to explore Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. Probably not the place for people who only like hotels, but that is because HCML is not a hotel. It harkens to the days of road tripping and offers a wonderful and unique experience! We'll definitely come back!

We loved it. It was so pretty inside and the amenities were nice. The cafe has a large selection and various goods, and there are lots of interesting books all over the lobby to peruse. The rooms are cozy and well equipped, there were even little instant Thai tea packets! I have never seen that before. I will stay again the next time we are in the area!

Noel O.

Yelp
Overall, I thought this lodge was pretty good! I have to admit, before I stepped inside, I regretted booking here. In other words, the place is not much to look at from outside. Once I got inside I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was recently renovated inside and looks great! The biggest perk of the hotel for me was the lobby. They offer a bar, a market place and a cool lounge that includes board games, a foosball table and pool table. Unfortunately, when we arrived the pool was closed for renovations, but the courtyard portion was great. The courtyard included a patio, fireplace and oversized games. It was really a comfortable environment. The rooms were renovated as well and were ok. Whoever did the interior design for this place deserves a good medal. At the end of the day, it is a renovated Days Inn, but the place has a lot to offer. I would recommend for a day or two, but not something you would want to stay at for an extended time.

This is a five star rating, not a five star hotel. It has a wonderful lobby gathering spot - bar, lounge, reception and general store. The pool and hot tub are the focal point of the hotel. They let you stay in past hours. The rooms have been updated and it gives swanky parlor vibes. Would highly recommend!

This place is SO cool. Guests all over enjoying the cozy communal areas, games, food, fire pits, live DJ, amazing cocktails, pool table, foosball, Nordic spa.....etc. Last night I asked the bartender for an espresso martini which was not on their curated menu and he accommodated in the most amazing show and presentation and it was the best I have had!

HCML is a super fun new-ish addition to Flagstaff... It's owned by Classic Hotels & Resorts, who own The Scott in addition to a handful of other hotels in AZ and CA. My family visited last night and dined at The General Store. We brought the dog and ate outside -- with drinks by the fire pit and then moved over to a table for our actual dinner... The kids enjoyed playing outside in the courtyard on the grassy area and then moved into the game room later on. As for The General Store / dining experience, it was mostly positive. It's worth noting that it's a fast casual kind of concept where you order your food inside and they bring it out to you after. You order drinks at the bar. The staff we encountered were a bit "off" in terms of customer service and it sounds like the fire pits have to all light up at once or not at all. We were asked if we minded if they put our fire on while the sun was still out and it was pretty hot... when we said that we'd prefer to wait, we were told that another guest wanted their's on, so we were not really given an option! Additionally, while this place is super dog friendly, I didn't see any dog bowls out for dogs to drink water. I'd suggest that the restaurant add some more protein options to the menu -- either solo or for the salads. The sandwiches and Pinsa-style pizzas were very good, however. One more recommendation would be to add a lemonade beverage for kids. Mine ended up with Jaritos and only had a few sips. I know that this place is fairly new, but they did a great job with the renovation... I am hoping they are working out some kinks with staff training and menu at the General Store, but I will definitely be back as it's a super fun vibe! I hope to experience staying the night, the sauna / pool / plunge and more in the future.

We had a great stay! Lots of friendly people, room was quiet and clean. Lobby and market were sooooo cute and the food looked great. Loved that it's a dog friendly hotel, so many cute pups! Room had everything you need and nothing you don't, with some cute vintage touches. One of the girls (when we checked in) was on her phone texting and didn't even look up to greet us, she just kept gossiping about someone. Kind of rude and inappropriate, but the other one was nice. The rest of the staff were young but nice, no complaints here!

Our stay was pretty decent, but someone I was with left some pricy clothing items on accident as they got wet and were drying in the bathroom. They contacted within a few days of check out, and the hotel "never found them". I contacted weeks later - same thing. Seems dodgy. We were going to come back again and now we won't be.

Wow! Place is amazing! For the price and location, this will be my good to when visiting Flagstaff again. Heads up: This can be a con, however it's not a deal breaker. Housekeeping will come in on your third day for cleaning and linen replacement. That's fine, I'm guessing some adults are spoiled and can't take trash out on their own. But I'm out and about exploring the city by day that my trash can not being cleaned for me won't ruin my day. (Side note: it would be awesome to get a refill on the coffee bags tho it is perfect for waking up during cold season) Beds/Linen: My girlfriend was snoring harder here than home. They're comfortable and clean. Shower is clean and has plenty of warm water! It served it purpose in providing a warm, cozy, and safe place for the night. NOTE: City of flagstaff will not allow bright lights, it's reason so you can see the stars in the sky without the disruption of bright street/business lights.

The coziest "adult summer camp" Loved every inch of this place. The layout in the lobby, bar and game room is great esp with children. It's open and lots of seating everywhere. They have a lot of games available to play with. I loved their pisa (pizza) - we ordered the mushroom, requested just cheese for kids, and the kale Caesar salad. Their menu is a little limited for kids if they don't want pizza. However, they were able to make a grilled cheese with mozzarella which my son did enjoy. I will be back 100%

A+ concept with C- execution. I wanted to love this place so much mote than I did. Typical looks anazing on Instagram, not too far from my house, and had a reason to stay in Flaggstaff. 1. The price is too high. I paid almost $1300 for Fri to Sund in a "Cosmic Cottage" which was an extemely small shed located right in the middle of the hotel grounds next to a strip of parking spots. 2. The beds are small amd extremely uncomfortable. 3. Room cleaning comes once every three days apparently punishing you for staying multiple nights. Im all for saving water on not washing linens, but first you have to let the guest know ahead of time. I simply would not pay the price I paid to clean my own room. I would have stayed in an AirBnB with a private hot tub. Second I have a baby and babies make dirty diapers. Also the hotel touts being dog friendly which means other people have garbage that needs to be removed daily. When i asked the receptionist how to get the trash taken out she was literally completely confused. She said she would leave someone a note. When I asked where I bring the dirty trash when no one comes after a couple hours, she directed me to a dumster behind the hotel. Thankfully when I called Tina, the manager and explained she sent someone over. (Tina may have saved a star here) . The person from house cleaning brought me new towels and handed me a plastic trash bag. Please see item 1 above. 4. They have a beautiful bar with very skilled bartenders and an amazing cocktail program.... But you can only order from "afternoon" on ( no one knew what time afternoon was). So, sorry no mimosas on the beautiful deck facing a the expansive zen courtyard where you can find a mulitude of pampered pups walking about and some super cool yard games. 5. There is not very much in the way of food. The pizza flatbreads are great though. 6. If you are going to tout a dog friendly hotel where clearly everyone brings their dogs, dog amenities need to exist just to save your hotel people work. There should be bags just in case you walk out at 6 am and forget to grab one. There should be mats to put food and water on so i dont have to use a hotel towel if i didnt bring a mat. I really hope management/owners take note of the need to attend to details becasue i would love to see Flagstaff have a nice hotel on the map. We come to town because my daughter is in college. If they can work out the kinks and get enough staff to make sure they can provide the amenities for the price you pay then its going to be hard to find a vacancy.

This place is so cute. The rooms are nice and there's a lot of space. The lobby is beautiful. The staff was super helpful and kind. The only issues were that the lights flickered and the walls were a little thin.

The vibe was very chic . The hotel is lovely. The lobby has a bar and a game room. It's a happening place even on the weekdays!

Man I thought t this was such a cool unique spot and was raving about it to everyone. I think I even mentioned I'm not staying anywhere else when we come to Flag. However, I booked a sauna and cold plunge session at check in, the person confirmed my time for the evening session which I was excited for since part of booking this was for recovery for my marathon training. I went to go for my scheduled time and said they had a different guest which is fine mistakes happen but they were extremely rude about it no apologies and did not mention any other available times where I could maybe sneak a session in. Honestly wouldn't be mad about it if they were not blatantly rude about it. Really changed my opinion of the place after that experience

Cute spot, but pricey. The lobby, market, and bar make this place. Nice fire pits and open common area. The rooms are decent, basic. The noise doesn't stop until 10p.

Beautiful beautiful lodge. The food is impeccable we had the cosmos pizza and one of the sandwiches and it was insanely tasty. The cocktails were great also. The entire property is very beautiful and trendy/moody. Only thing I have to say is the a/c / heating is EXTREMELY loud it made it hard to sleep and I'm a heavy heavy sleeper and the people above us were loud and you could hear every footstep. Overall super clean and cozy we'll definitely be staying here again.

Cute refurbished hipster motel has all the nice amenities, including really good in-room coffee, and an old school tapedeck with mixed tapes of actual good vintage obscure music! Super clean and comfortable room. It snowed last night so no one was out enjoying the gas fire pits-lounge area, but they are beautiful to look at and are on at 6:55am for morning lounging! Pretty sweet. Big hot tub in the snow, extra bonus.

I highly recommend this hotel. Great accommodations, fabulous bar, delicious pizza, and fantastic service from the moment we walked in the door. Loved sitting on the lanai, warmed by the firepit, looking at the night sky with a delicious beverage in hand.

This place is AMAZE for a newly remodeled Motor Lodge in Flag! Charlie travels w/ us when we take road trips so we always look for easy In-N-Out access! The pool area is beautiful, they have individual saunas that you can reserve, grocery store with everything needed to hit the slopes, so many fire pits for outdoor relaxation, grass areas for Charlie! ‍ The rooms are retro poshy, bed & pillows were a dream, Vietnamese coffee and tea ready for the morning & they truly make everything an experience!! 5 If you are headed to Flagstaff, I would check this out..... or just pop by for an adult beverage!

EVERYTHING!! About this place is fantastic, well thought out, well designed, with a great peculiar vibe. Pop a cassette tape in, make a coffee, chill... the beds are super comfy, rooms are configured effectively. A true travelers delight, best travel lodge I've been to. We'll try the sauna & plunge next go round. American Sunset - Jack Adkins for the win.

If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Starting out they were fully booked, I called for an early check in coming from Texas and they explained they would do there best to get me in ASAP! I arrived at Noon and they went to work immediately. I was checked in by 1pm! I was on crutches and the two coworkers took it upon themselves to get me swapped to a first floor even though they had been fully booked! The bartender that night was great, she was very inviting and drinks/food were outstanding and quick! Now if you've made it this far you deserve this piece of information, THEIR SHOWER HEADS ARE AMAZING! I judge a hotel off many things, but there's nothing like having high quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and shower head! The beds are comfortable, soft, and all together had a great nights sleep! Definitely recommend for a couples night. They also have fus ball, billiards, board games, chess, swimming pool, corn hole (soon), and a very cute hangout outside on the deck looking towards the mountains!

I would return here next time I'm in town. The motel is beautiful and extremely well decorated. It smells incredible. I love that they have two vegan items on their breakfast menu. Their coffee is quite good and they sell some quality items in the gift shop. The bed was comfortable and the shower was bomb as hell. Excellent water pressure. Everything was beautifully designed and there were many nixes touches throughout. It wasn't too expensive, either. Areas for improvement- The room wasn't ready when we arrived, which was around an hour after check in time. That was a bummer after a long trip. There was only one tiny waste basket in the room. Also no recycling facilities apparent. The light switches or plates need to be a different color from the wall. It is impossible to tell where they are when the room is dark. The walls are thin- you *must* bring earplugs. We did the sauna and at $50 it wasn't worth it. Only the top shelf of the sauna was hot, I could feel the cold air flowing from under the door on the bottom shelf. The cold shower you're supposed to use was coated in like 2 feet of long frozen-over snow. It wouldn't have been possible to walk over to it, much less stand under it and use it. I wouldn't do the sauna again, as much as I love saunas. The experience left a lot to be desired.

Quirky place, but overall we had a positive experience. Room was clean, but clearly set up for skiers more than "regular" visitors ... vinyl floors, heavy duty hooks on the walls all over the place. Plus, a few peculiar things like no phones in the rooms, and a portable boom box instead of a clock radio ... it is what it is. Food was good ... pizza comes in a rectangular pan, and was hot and tasty. Kale salad, however, was dry and needed more dressing. Cocktails were excellent and service was friendly and efficient. It's not luxurious, but it's convenient and comfortable ... we will be back.

To start... THIS IS NOT A PET FRIENDLY PLACE. If you want to leave you're dog at the hotel to get breakfast/lunch/or dinner. Your dog better not bark at all or you will get bombarded with phone calls from the hotel to come back for your dog. The walls are paper thin. We didn't get to enjoy our New Years plans due to this not being a pet friendly hotel. When I asked what alternatives we had to try to solve this issue the receptionist suggestions were: 1.) leave your dog in the car (even if it is 18 degrees that night) 2.) leave the hotel 3.) Get charged an additional $100 for disturbing guest (this is on top of all ready paying the $125 pet fee) After speaking to a rude front desk receptionist (long blond hair), I asked to speak to manager at least three times before speaking to him. Thankfully the manager was friendly and understanding to our frustrations. We didn't get charged the $100 fee, but we couldn't leave the hotel without our dog which made it very difficult. Over all, this is a beautiful renovated hotel, but not if you have dogs (even if it's a tiny miniature dachshund.) It doesn't matter if they say quiet hours are after 8:30. They will call you at any hour if your dog is barking. But if you do have kids they are more than welcome to scream and run around at any time of day. I include a video of use returning to our room and our dog not barking, as well as photos of our dog freezing outside on New Years Eve.

We stayed at HCML in the winter 2023. We found it to be clean and modern. Our favorite part of our stay was the lounge- which was fun and hip. Our dinner was really good! We got pizza and a salad. Both were great. The breakfast the next morning wasn't so great. The breakfast sandwich was just ok and the $8 yogurt parfait was something I could have gotten at McDonalds (even in a plastic cup). But given all of that I would consider staying here again- just for the lounge. They had a pool table and board games available. Plus a very inviting vibe. But the rooms are definitely motel-like. I would have given 5 stars if not for the price. This place is pricey for what you get. My room was about $45 more than I would have expected.

High Country Motor Lodge is the latest boutique concept brought to you by the same team as The Scott Resort and El Chorro Lodge. Think '1960s roadside culture', and alpine vibes. The back patio is open to the communal lawn, with views of the hilltops and pines. At night it's perfect for star gazing or lounging by the fire pits. The bar program ranges from boilermakers to 'The River Rat Society' whiskey cocktail - as well as light and refreshing citrus cocktails such as the 'Goddess of Glen Canyon' with grapefruit and Grand Canyon Vodka. The General store offers delicious "pinsas", salads, and sandwiches. Fresh pastries and coffee are on offer all day long. The game room is retro hip with board games, foosball, and pool. And we loved the vibe in the lounge with its alpine lodge meets vintage contemporary design with woods, leather, gold, and tweed mingled with thoughtfully placed plants against its dark blue walls. Standard rooms come with cassette players and tapes, high-end toiletries, and plush bedding. The cabins on the property feature a small sitting area and more space, especially in the bathroom. Not to be missed is the Nordic spa experience, at which you can reserve a private sauna cabin for an hour, complete with water, electrolytes, and essential oils. Outside of the cabin is the cold plunge and dive pool, as well as the welcoming hot tub after. Though they have only been open since May, this is fast becoming a popular destination for locals. To gather, recharge, stargaze, Imbibe and socialize. During winter season they are busy with snowboarders and skiers due to its close proximity to the Arizona Snow Bowl. From the retro music to the vintage black and white photographs of the west, it is truly a one of a kind destination.

Wow, what a treat this was?! We felt like we time-warped to a classy, 1970's lounge. You can tell that every space was thoughtfully curated. Our room even had a working cassette player!! Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. We're already thinking about the next time we want to come back!

We stayed this past Monday. I booked 2 rooms, paid extra for my dog, and opted to try the "Nordic spa" after seeing an influencer promote it on Instagram. They did nit honor the 20% code she gave me because "I should have given it to them at booking instead of checkout". The lobby and rooms were cute. I really enjoyed the novelty items in the general store, the games, and the outdoor fireplaces. My room's tape player didn't work but the pour-over coffee and creamer pouches made up for it. I am glad we had bags for the dog dirt because they don't have any bags or receptacles there - the trash cans were further away and overflowing the whole time. Someone even asked his breed how much my dog weighed when we were hanging out outside because they are strict about size. I told my son just to say he was a pure bred good boy and 75 the last time we checked, ha! The sauna itself was nice inside of it however there was sand inside because it's easy to track in dirt from outside. The water and cooler was nice to have but was missing an outdoor shower - you should rinse before and after sauna so you dont get the room or your clothes dirty. Calling the pool a cold plunge is misleading and a stretch. They should have just had a private stock tank for that. We opted to just sit at the private fireplace between rounds to cool down and that was nice enough (minus sand on the feet so bring flip flops). HCML if you read this, we have ideas to help make the spa way better on a budget! My first sauna was in Europe so I was lucky enough to have the experience For reference and there is definitely etiquette and sauna culture to draw inspiration from that would put it over the top. Cute little place for sure. I would stay again.

Fantastic, picturesque and quaint. Spent several nights there with friends celebrating a wedding. Everything was perfect! Great location for a day trip to Grand Canyon and the meteor crater. Highly recommend!

Everything. Service , room dirty, and pool sauna closed. So I feel like I got super ripped off. There no booking another stay. They said I can cancel and go somewhere else, but everywhere else is booked. So dealing with such disappointment and inconvenience. No phone to call to hotel . No ice machine. The only thing that nice is they're Libby but you have to pay for everything extra. Not worth it. Wish I never booked here. And the chair in our room is missing a seat cushion. Like really. I will never come here again. Very disappointing. I should have got informed that they didn't have all the amenities they claimed. Not worth it.
