Fantastic experience all the way around. Kitschy enough, but not overdone. Small [only eight (8) rooms], quiet and a perfect place for anyone wanting to get a Route 66 experience. We arrived in the evening and the whole town was both quiet and peaceful. Its directly across the street from Angel Delgadillo's Barber Shop and his brother's famous Snow Cap Cafe. Cool mural's and 'interesting' common room called the "Creative Space". Rooms are sparse, but clean and with just enough room for couples. If back in the area we'd stay again. read more

Stopped here overnight on an UTV trip. Great parking to pull up close to rooms. Very clean and owner is very nice and doing an exceptional job keeping up on the place. Cute common space with games and a sacked continental breakfast and coffee in morning. Comfy beds. Would stay here again. read more

Super basic, but spotlessly clean. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, AC worked great. Everything you need (except decaf coffee pods) and nothing you don't. The community space was nice, too. read more

Meticulously maintained and tastefully decorated. The owners are from Holland and have done an incredible job of making this one of the best motels experiences I have ever had. Highly recommended!! read more

Great place to spend the night. Room was clean, pillows comfy. Room was cold as they have room heaters and no central heat but it warmed up fast enough. It was a good value for the money. read more

This is not a paid review. But I'm sitting in the creative space painting watercolors (art supplies included from the hotel) listening to a killer jazz playlist and this motel in the middle of nowhere is one of the most magical places I've ever been. Service great? Check. (Sebastian, the owner, is almost always around) comfy beds, good water pressure etc etc... but really this place has someone's heart and soul in it and you can tell. I'm coming back just to stay here. Absolute love. read more

Aztec Motel and Gift Shop - A shot out at Route 66 from the hotels creative space - Hotels Near Me - Seligman, Arizona

This place is great. I've stayed at a couple of other hotels in Seligman, one bad, one okay, but when I stayed here I made it my regular spot. I'm there about every other week and have become friendly with the owners, very nice people. Comfortable clean rooms and a common area for morning breakfast. Nothing fancy, but good. And it's cool to sit at the table and chat with travelers from all over. Great atmosphere. read more

Stayed one night here last night, extremely comfortable bed and linen. The attention to detail within the room and overall property is outstanding . Some dated and remodeled motels can miss the mark, the (Route 66) Aztec is a Hit for me. It's got a "gramma's house" feel, but in the best possible way. The check in and service from staff is a 10. Ready to bolt bagged breakfast is healthy and well rounded. The breakfast/common room, is welcoming. read more

We were so pleased at the warm hospitality we received and the attention to detail that Sebastian has provided at his motel! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. read more

Aztec Motel and Gift Shop - Hotel front - Hotels Near Me - Seligman, Arizona

Our car broke down we were in the middle of nowhere but thankfully we were able to find this motel. Sebastian the owner of the motel helped us get back on the road. I recommend this motel to anyone who's coming into town! read more

This place is the BEST!! It's just so clean and the rooms are updated and affordable! We've been coming here since 2020 and we love it! There are so many fun things to do along historic Route 66! This time we enjoyed the nearby bedrock hangout, played every night in the creative space, painted portraits of each other and had so much fun. Frankie helps us to get our "kitty fix" while we're away! Again, Sebastian is so pleasant and helpful. This selection is the best the Mother road has to offer!! We'll be back!! read more

Seligman, AZ, has just upped to a Sedona like spot not to miss. The Aztec Motel was two years in the creating, according to owner, Sebastian. It has just six room/suites, so reserve early. Besides a patio, Sebastian adds an indoor "Creative Space" that offers a special place for breakfast, with board games, and fresh coffee nicely roasted locally. I can't wait to return. read more

Selingman tends to have some not-so-updated motels. Some are borderline scary..and we are no chickens. (Although we rejected the infamous clown motel in NV. Not because of the clowns, or the stories of ownership having cameras in the rooms, but because of the overflowing trailer of garbage parked next to the office). The Aztec is super cute. Squeaky clean. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are nice. The decor has a mid century vibe but you know the items were thrifted and not still here from the 50's. The room smells good when you walk in, like cleaner. Not bleach or Lysol, but more like mouthwash. I can't describe it any better. I liked the smell, my husband did not, but we travel with a small candle. There is a super cute common area with games and a lounge feel. I still want the pictures of the dead-eye children from the lobby. I will be back until I convince them to sell the pictures to me. lol. When in Selingman.. stay here!!! read more

Best little 9 room motel we've ever stayed at. Very cozy and comfortable. The beds were best we've ever slept on. The room had a Keurig coffee maker and a small refrigerator. Microwave available in the creative corner area which has games and a book nook and Continental breakfast in the morning... Rooms are nicely decorated. The owners run the motel themselves and are very friendly and accommodating. read more

The Aztec Motel was adorable, comfy, and super clean! Our room was spacious, the bed was really comfortable, and dog friendly. The property also has a great "creative space" with tables to work at, TV (there are also tvs in the rooms), games, books, snacks, and coffee. You can feel the love the owners put into this place! read more

My family and I were on a Route 66 road trip and had a 1 night stop in Seligman, we had an absolutely great stay at the Aztec. We were running behind and called for a late check in. Owner was courteous and helpful. Sent a text with all pertinent details to get into our room after normal hours. We arrived at the motel and had no issues getting in. The room was great size and had all we needed for a comfortable nights stay. To be honest the beds were amazing, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. Actually my entire family raved on and on about the comfy beds. Slept great, shower and bath were perfectly adequate. We were to depart in the morning, grabbed our to go bag breakfasts which were perfect for on the drive munching. Check out was easy and gift shop was adorable, loaded with lots of goodies. Highly recommend a stay at the Aztec. read more

A great place to stay for the night. Remodeled rooms that are thoughtfully renovated with mindfulness to use by travelers. Recreation Room is brilliant with a piano and board games. Definitely the best coffee in Seligman. Pleasant friendly staff and a cat makes our stay extremely comfortable. We look forward to returning. read more

This is a wonderful, family-run motel. The rooms are large and spotless. The motel is in the historic Rt. 66 fashion, but it has been completely updated with modern rooms and facilities. They have a large family game room and provide a brown bag breakfast that is just the right size. This is definitely the place to stay in Sel;igman Az. read more

Loved this quaint/retro motel! Great halfway spot for us going from Showlow AZ to Las Vegas for a concert. (We would like to add that we liked this motel better than the Luxor that we stayed at for the concert.!!!) Owners are loverly and available! Comfy bed! My husband loved the shower! Easy check-in! breakfast was perfect! Nice gift shop that tries to support local economy. We will definitely be back and have already recommended to friends! read more

Such a delightful surprise! On our trek home from Santa Fe, NM to Pasadena, CA we found Seligman and opted for the Aztec Motel for their great location across from a Route 66 icon, Delgadillo's Snow Cap. The motel is clean, comfortable and has a welcoming lounge/creative space with books, nostalgic games, and an outdoor seating area. The well-traveled, friendly and personable owners, Anna Marie and Sebastiaan have an amazing story about how they became motel owners and hospitality hosts...a story of survival, spontaneity and perseverance. My Dad (now 90) was one of 6 inspectors of hotels and restaurants for the AAA in the US for over 30 years and I'm sure he would have given this motel a good rating. We left our car in the parking lot after check out and walked into every business in Seligman for a couple of hours. The friendliness didn't stop at the motel. We learned so much about the town, the history and enjoyed the international tourists coming through. So much more than I expected out of this tiny town. This was an overnight stop on Route 66 on our way home, but certainly an unexpected highlight. read more

If you want a fun RT66 experience in clean welcoming place this is it. Stayed overnight here before the RT66 140 mile Ultra Run and highly recommend staying here. R66 as it was in its heyday! read more

Cute motel in a small hotel. We met family here from NM. About 5 1/2 hours from LA. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The multi use room was a great idea. We would stay here again. Very friendly staff. read more

Made a reservation for Monday, 4/3/23 and man, am I glad I did. Horrible wind and dust storms on the 180 and 40 freeways made it a nightmare to drive. The co-owner told me the town was totally booked up -- people were driving off the freeway to wait out the storm. ANYWAY, it looks like the owners have taken over an old motel and totally fixed it up. All I care about after driving on the road is a CLEAN room with basic amenities and this place delivered in spades. Free wifi, heater/cooler in the room, good water pressure, not one complaint. A pretty basic place but that's all I needed. A very cool "Creative Space" where you can hang out, play the piano, play board games, etc but I was way too busy and tired to check it out. Walking distance (though it was so damn cold and windy I almost stopped) to the famous Black Cat bar down the street. Very kind owners who made sure everything was going well. Will definitely stop by again next time we take R66. Thanks! read more

Charming motel located perfectly in Seligman. We wanted to experience some of Rt.66's charm and The Aztec was a great place to start. An easy walk to gift shops, restaurants, and bars in Seligman. The Aztec was everything as advertised. Friendly and helpful owner with a great attention to detail. Very willing to point us in the right direction for anything we wanted. We weren't sure what to expect as we dropped onto Rt. 66 from our visit to the Grand Canyon, and this was the perfect place. Easy, clean, accommodating, and friendly, it delivers on all counts. read more

At first glance one might think this motel is the setting for a horror movie in a tiny town but the truth is, this motel and creative space is fantastic! All the rooms are clean and have updated features that every traveler needs with plugs next to each bed and a small fridge. It is just off the highway with easy access to get to the Grand Canyon or Sedona if you are heading that way. It's about two and a half hours to Vegas if you're heading the other way. The owners are warm and welcoming and community creative space allows you to spread out. The shared space has a table for business, a game area with games, piano, a small library, a jukebox and water/coffee. A thoughtful breakfast is included and ready for you to grab and go in the morning. I wasn't sure of what to expect but it was great. The small motel was at full capacity so I'm not the only one that has discovered this great find. You can walk on Route 66 and explore the stores and restaurants in Seligman easily. It is near a railroad track so you do hear that during the night but it wasn't disruptive. read more

If you want to step back into time and yet have the luxury of a world-class motel the Aztec Motel is for you. The owners' passion and attention to detail in remodeling one of the original Route 66 Motels greet every guest lucky enough to book a room. The motel is conveniently located on the Main Street making the shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. Come to Seligman and stay at the Aztec treasure. If you're like me, you won't want to leave. read more

I was on my way back to the West Coast from a motorcycle rally and when looking for a spot to stop for the night, found the Aztec Motel in Seligman. I booked it on line and arrived mid-afternoon. The only way find this cozy, clean, awesome place is to get off I-40 and onto Route 66. It is too easy to miss. The owners, Anna and Sebastiaan are very welcoming. They did everything to make sure I was comfortable and had whatever I needed. The room was spotless. Everything was bright and inviting. Sebastiaan and Anna have done most, if not all, the renovations themselves. I was very impressed with what they have done. When they heard I would be missing the breakfast, as I was to depart at 4AM, Sebastiaan showed up with a bag packed with energy bars, meat sticks, biscotti, chocolate filled crepe in a package, and an apple to take with me. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are ever in Seligman, AZ, the Aztec Motel and Creative Space is the place to be. Definitely deserving of 5 stars. read more

A fun little quirky stop. If you're going through the area and it's close to the time to stop, stop here.

Very clean and quiet. Thoughtful brown bag breakfast with healthy choices! Will definitely be back!

They told me they had no ice and I would need to go to the dollar store and buy it if I needed ice. They are also CASHLESS and failed to tell me that when I initially called. read more

Highly recommend! I just stayed there with a few friends for a short weekend getaway in Seligman. The owner Sebastian was very friendly and hospitable. He and his wife recently remodeled the hotel and did a great job making it a modern, fun and quirky place! Our room and beds were quite comfortable and it was a great value for the price. Breakfast was included in their creative community room, which had lots of games and stylish mid-century modern decorations. It was just 30 minutes from the Caverns in Peach Springs, which I also highly recommend checking out. Next time I am in Seligman, I will definitely stay again! read more

Great place!! Friendly, helpful hosts, fun murals on the walls, period furnishings--it all fits with the Route 66 theme. On top of that, it was a very reasonable price for clean and comfortable rooms and beds. We highly recommend the Aztec and the town for an entertaining break from the 40!! We also recommend following the old Route 66 over the hill through Oatman rather than staying on the 40 Amazing scenery and fascinating history!! read more

Step back into time. This room was clean, quiet, comfy, spacious, oh did I mention clean? New bathroom, great water pressure Bed was perfect! Excellent nights sleep. Thank you Sebastiaan read more

beautiful, wonderful little hotel! Met the owners Sebastian and Anna and can tell by talking with them how much they care about their place. They spend alot of time making sure thier guest have what they need! Our room was clean, bed was comfortable and they passed the hot water shower test! Best place to stay in Sleigmen, AZ thank you! read more

I stopped here on a cross country trip from LA that included some camping at the Grand Canyon. It's a really excellent spot. Clean, quiet rooms with a nice little common outdoor area, and the creative space has fun vintage books, games, and an old piano which the owner was happy to record me playing on. Very helpful and welcoming staff who will tell you some interesting stories about the building and the area. I very much preferred Seligman to Williams, Seligman has some nice little route 66 shops and places to eat, but is much quieter and less traffic than Williams. If that sounds more like your cup of tea as well, you will be glad you stopped here. I will certainly be back! read more

Another example of where the Yelp reviews and ratings are spot on! Immaculate, friendly, and adorable. No internet, no problem! This place is a throwback to another simpler time. Enjoy the peace and solitude. Loved it. Perfect for an overnight stay on Route 66. read more

Needed a place to spend the night on our way to Sedona from our home in Chino Hills. Someone suggested we stop in the nostalgic little town of Seligman in the historic Route 66. Read the reviews here for the Aztec and decided to call. Marie (the owner) answered and set us up with a room. Upon arrival Marie greeted us with an open door, check in was smooth and she asked to go see the room with us to make sure it was to our liking. (I appreciated that). Room was very clean and served it purpose for a quick one night stay. You also can not beat the price. The next morning, Marie served coffee to us in the room. I would stay here again if passing through. Seligman is a great little town to stop. Lots of history. Be sure to watch the YouTube video of angel delgadillo and his contribution in keeping Seligman on the map. read more

Aztec Motel and Gift Shop - Hotels Near Me - Seligman, Arizona

The Aztec Motel and Gift Shop is the crown jewel of motels. Period. Nestled on the Mother Road in Seligman, the motel offers spotlessly clean rooms that capture the past while making you feel instantly at home. You will want to stay here for weeks, not days. The owner is very personable and takes the time to answer all your questions about Seligman. The town itself has done an excellent job in preserving the culture of US 66 (the home of Angel Delgadillo, the Guardian Angel of US 66 ) The town offers an eclectic mix of shops that will take you back in time and is a stone's throw from the Grand Canyon. Honestly, my only reluctance in writing this review is that the motel will be overrun with guests when people realize what a great value and incredible stay await them. read more

We were doing a quick road trip from Denver to LA. I wanted to find independently owned places to eat and stay along the way. We made a reservation for the Aztec Motel for my husband and me, and at the last moment, my 17yo decided to join us. I contacted them and they changed our reservation to a double without a hitch. When we arrived, we could tell that the Aztec Motel was an oasis on the Mother Road. The rooms were renovated beautifully-- not the "landlord special" of slapping a coat of paint over everything. It was squeaky clean, high quality beds and linens, and thoughtful touches like water bottles in the mini fridge and grey wash clothes to remove makeup. Everything was styled with a nod to the 50s (vintage bedside tables and lamps) but with modern touches - ac/heater controls AND a fan, for us folks that dig white noise, plugs next to each bed. We spent a restful night and woke up to find snow, to the delight of our CA kid. The owners happily loaned us a an ice scraper and reminded us to nab a breakfast box in the creative space - a box with a hard boiled egg, meat stick, hunk of cheese, yogurt, and other snacky things which were perfect to nosh on the rest of our road trip. The hosts were lovely and the Creative Space had me considering family reunions and retreats. We will make our way back to this welcoming and restful space again. read more
