I hesitate to review this little gem in the woods because I don't want it to get out how lovely, stylish, and comfortable Little America Hotel is.
I stayed here as part of a conference. When I walked into the hotel lobby, which is also the entrance to the conference area, I was pleasantly surprised! The foyer and lobby area is gorgeous, offset by a huge stone fireplace that adds a rustic warmth to the lobby. The gift shop has unique, interesting, and well-crafted items, many of which are locally made. The conference facility is beautiful and the staff was professional, pleasant, and helpful.
I experienced two meals offered as part of the conference: one was a buffet for a cocktail hour. I only tried a few items, deviled eggs and an asparagus bruschetta that was delicious! The bartenders were fun and friendly and fast! The breakfast was only average, but it hit the spot. The coffee was nice and hot and strong, which is not often the case at big events!
My room? The size of a one-bedroom apartment. According to one employee, this hotel took advantage of the lockdown during the pandemic and completely remodeled the entire place. And it shows. My room had unique, rustic furniture but yet was updated, modern, and very comfortable. Another one of those "don't want to leave" walk-in showers made up a good portion of the bathroom. Honestly, it felt like a suite to me. Features in-room included quality coffees and a Keurig machine and even a steam iron for those pesky travel wrinkles!
All of the lodge-like buildings are connected by a first-floor walkway that gets you back to the restaurant and lobby. You'll find a gym, and, I'm told, a hot tub, but I didn't think to bring a suit. I'm also told there is a nicely paved walking path throughout the property.
My only complaint was the light meal I purchased for dinner from the restaurant. Drawing on the delicious bit of bruschetta I had during happy hour, I ordered an appetizer of assorted bruschetta. It was nothing like what I've had in the past (nor nothing like what I had during that conference happy hour). I was so disappointed b/c I was hungry and too tired to walk back to the restaurant to get something different. BUT, I'm sure other offerings in the restaurant, which focused on American-style fare, would have been better than what I chose.
All in all? I'm putting this on my "must recommend" list for anyone visiting the Flagstaff area, and plan to come back, myself, for a longer stay.
