    A crowd pleaser all around. The rooms are comfortable for the whole family. The cocktail lounge and general store have just enough selection for everyone to have something they enjoy. The game room, pool, and grass area are fantastic places to play or relax. We will definitely be adding this stop to future trips!

    First and foremost, this a renovated Days Inn. I mention this because (atleast for us) it was evident from the website photos alone. We found out upon check-in. I say that with a lot of love, because the spot is so beautifully renovated, you would never know unless you've stayed in one of the rooms. If a renovated motel, and all that comes with it (paper thin walls, guests parking shining headlights into first floor rooms, no elevators etc) don't bother you, this is an amazing stay. To their credit, they've breathed a lot of life into this space! They try to keep it as interesting as possible with live fire pits, cabins, a pool and hottub, bar, gameroom and the only Nordic spa in Arizona! Rooms include cassette tapes to play and a mini fridge. Downtown and Humphrey Peak are a mere 5 minutes away. This is not my typical stay and although I'm unsure if I'd book again, it was cozy, the staff was super friendly, and overall I'm so happy we gave them a try! I know this would be the perfect find for someone else!

    TikTok Lied to Me -- The Truth About High Motor Country Lodge" Like many innocent travelers, I fell for the TikTok hype. Everyone was raving about High Motor Country Lodge -- "a hidden gem," they said. Well, if this is a gem, someone forgot to polish it since the early 2000s. Let's start with the small stuff (or as I call them, the Petits problems). There were exactly three electrical plugs in the entire room. I felt like I was competing in a charging Olympics -- phone in the corner, laptop by the window, toothbrush plugged in halfway across the room. Now, the bathroom... I opened the door and immediately wished I hadn't. The toilet had leftover artwork from the last guest (yes, that kind). And who designed this layout? The toilet is so close to the wall you have to sit sideways like you're driving a go-kart. Jesus, I'm all for maximizing space, but come on -- give me some breathing room for my morning business. The floor? Let's just say I could trace the previous guest's footprints like I was working a crime scene. Looked like someone mopped but forgot that drying was part of the process. Then came the grand finale: the bed. I was excited about a king-size -- until I realized it was more like a sunken ship. I laid down and immediately tilted backward; my head sank lower than my feet. After one night, my lower back was begging for a chiropractor and an apology. Now, to be fair, the aesthetic outside the room is stunning. The lobby, the fireplace, the lounging areas -- absolute perfection. If I could've slept by the fireplace, this review would be five stars. Unfortunately, I had to sleep in the actual room, and that's where this dream turned into a bad Airbnb sketch. In short: High Motor Country Lodge looks great in photos, but in person? It's giving "pretty lobby, tragic sleep." TikTok, you owe me a chiropractor visit and a night of real rest.

    OUTSTANDING We wrapped up a five-night camping road trip with a single night here and it was the perfect reset before heading home. Every staff interaction from check-in to the general store, the bar, checkout, and even room service was warm, helpful, and genuine. The team really makes this place shine. The lodge is completely unrecognizable from its former life. Hard to believe this was once a Days Inn. Now it's all retro-modern mountain lodge with a green and gold palette, cozy textures, and a vibe that balances mountain town rustic with boutique polish. Rooms are spacious, spotless, and dog friendly, with a surprisingly great selection of pillows. Most of the upgrades are cosmetic but at rates this fair in Flagstaff it's an unbeatable value. Exterior entry means no noisy hallways and there's ample parking right outside which makes coming and going simple. The bar and common spaces invite you to stay a while and the general store is stocked with thoughtful touches instead of the usual afterthoughts. One night wasn't enough. Next trip through Flagstaff this will be the first stop, not the last.

    An old friend of mine introduced me to this place. I drive to Flagstaff often to ski and hike. But I had never heard of this place until she told me about it. High Country Motor Lodge High is a boutique hotel located on Route 66. It is more than just a roadside motel. It has a general store, Nordic Spa and has great views of the sky at night from the courtyard pool area. The rooms are little cottages that are dog friendly. I didn't actually stay here, but met with my friend for drinks in their bar/dining room. We were here for some time and enjoyed reconnecting after many years. I liked the atmosphere and vibe of this place. The general store has a nice selection of gifts, snacks and beverages. I skied all day and was craving something light. So I grabbed a coffee drink and a snack in the store. The staff was really nice and we enjoyed having conversation with one of them. I will definitely keep this place in mind the next time I decide to stay in Flagstaff.

    It was Mother's Day and I just lost my beautiful daughter and best friend. I wanted to get away so I drove up from Phoenix to High Country Motor Lodge. It was the best decision I could've made. I sat outside on their beautiful patio, drank three tasty local beers, ordered the most delicious pizza, purchased a giant chocolate chip cookie, and slept in the most comfortable and energizing bed. The service was outstanding. Thank you for a great time in a difficult situation.

    Came here for a drink and absolutely love the environment. The bottom of this hotel has been redone into such a cute bar area. They have pool tables, lounge area, booths, a café, where you can purchase food and other snack items , and more. My parents actually came here for their wedding anniversary almost 35 years ago under prior ownership. Coming with them here was like walking down memory lane. The decor is classy and retro. We also ventured outside where they have wonderful fire pits and you can enjoy the starry night sky. Their drinks are a bit pricey. The ambience was fantastic. Would definitely look at this as an option if you are coming up from out of town and looking for a place in Flagstaff to stay with some amenities right on site.

    What a great little hidden gem in Flag. I thought this was a charming little hotel and did not expect it to have this awesome sauna experience. It's about a 5 min drive from downtown and was very affordable. The property seems recently renovated and the pool and hot tub area is super clean and spacious. Rooms themselves could be cleaner and they were kind of noisy but it wasn't bad. Loved staying here and would again!

    If you do anything in Flagstaff, it should be to stay at least one or two nights at the high country motor Lodge. This place was absolutely phenomenal. Every detail was thought out. Down to the coffee and tea that are in your room as a part of the amenities. And this place has it all. Heated pool that you could use in the winter time. Sauna.. restaurant. Amazing cocktail lounge. Game room. Fire pits. We stayed during Christmas week because nothing else in town would be open and this was the perfect stay. Every drink that we got from the bar was incredible. All the food was made in house and so fresh and tasty. We utilized the game room and played foosball and they had a pool table. I would 1000% recommend staying here. All the Staff were friendly and you can tell they just really enjoy working here!

    We stayed here for a couple days on an adventure in Flagstaff to check out Snowbowl. The hotel was great even if the skiing was not (it ended up being slushy spring skiing). This hotel looks like a slice of Americana, like a renovated motor inn decorated in a mid-century modern style. The main reception/bar area is beautiful. There is plenty of parking outside, which goes all around the building. The hotel is in a main area that is close to downtown Flagstaff. The rooms are standard but nice. They seem a little dark. It would be helpful to have some overhead lighting in the rooms. The beds are comfy. I like the added touch of Copper cow coffee and tea drops in the rooms! The hotel has laundry rooms (super helpful!), a pool and hot tub, a gym, and a "general store" and bar/restaurant. All of the amenities were great. I also liked that they have a bumch of fire pits for sitting outdoors.

    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.

    Cocktail Lounge is nice! Just grabbing a drink Pool area looks really nice! Clean. Family atmosphere

    Sauna experience

    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 book the room in the morning and usually arrive late. I booked this room Oct 24, 2025 thru booking.com. I reserved a king room. I arrived around 11 p.m. to check in. The clerk stated that they didn't have any king rooms available, they shampooed the carperts and they are not dry, I have a double queen. I said I booked a king room, if you do not have it cancel my room and I'll find another place to stay. To my surprise she found a king room and stated that she would have to inconvience another guest (not my problem). She snatched up my card and charged it $128. I got to the room on the 3rd floor in the back no elevator. The windows and door was facing the wall in the breese way. there was a ramp going down to get into the room (the floor was lower to the door seal. I turned on the lights and this was horrible, a slight smell of mold, the ceiling had big stains and cracks from leaking, the entire paint job in the room was horrible (looks like someone tried to stretch a pint of paint for the entire room). This room was actually a suite with a kitchen. The refirgerator looks like it was sitting outside in the elements and put in the room complety filtly inside and outside. The cabinets looked like they were picked out of a dumpster, the stove had a red light on it showing the electrice burners were on, the oven was gross. The floors were not swepted or mopped. The walls had stains all over them drip markes to the floor. The double couch was gross, I moved it from the wass and there was enough dirt and dust to grow weeds. There were white shavings (powder) from sanding the walls all over the edges of the walls, The tile job on the floor lookes like a 6 year old did it, huge gaps all around the base boards. Every light swith was dirty and reused with different paint and stains, a light over the sink was out. You could not close the bathroom door from inside the bath room without standing in the tub, it was only about 6 to 8 inches between the door and toilet. The light above the mirror was a plug in type flurencent light bar that some stuffed into a box and covered it up. The tub was black and old, you could see where the shower mat had been removed, the caulking around the tub and tiile was horrible and over used, this included the baseboards around the toilet and next to the door by the tub. There was dust all over the head board that banged if you touched it, the same all over the one night stand. The drapes had water stains all over them from where it leaks inside. I took photos. When I checked out I asked for the manager and got the excuse that the manager is out and will not be in tell next week. I beleive that this is a family member that owns this hotel. There was a guy there that she was talking to also I believe a family member. Ramada this place is horrible and for you to allow them to use your name is embarrassing.

He seems mentally unbalanced and is not a good face for the business. I made a reservation online and arrived with a small camper in tow. Blue immediately assured me that it wouldn't be possible for me to park anywhere on the premises, though I'd already paid to stay the night. When I asked "surely you aren't that busy, the parking lot has many open spaces", he raised his voice to yell at me that as a policy they do not accept oversized vehicles and I needed to find somewhere else to stay. I am a young woman traveling alone and grown men yelling at me is scary, so I left the premises to find another hotel to stay at. I called the agency I booked the hotel through to cancel the reservation. Blue reassured them on the phone that he can't do a refund because one guest can only take up 2 parking spaces. My car and camper can detach and take up exactly 2 spaces. This detail would have been helpful to hear initially instead of being yelled at and shooed away so I could resolve the situation. Because I booked another hotel room at Blue's insistence, and then he refused me a refund. I returned to the hotel to clarify with Blue that I would have liked to know the bit about being able to take up 2 parking spots because I could have fixed the problem and stayed there instead of paying for 2 hotels, but he started raising his voice at me, telling me the blatant lie that he "was trying to tell me that, but I wouldn't listen", and continued to scream at me to get off his property. As long as this man is working here, I'd recommend staying far away from this business. I've added some photos of the space in the parking lot for reference.

The third room that we actually stayed in under the repeated phrase of "it's just one night and we don't have to shower", the linens were clean but it was gross.

The people diagonal under us were outside drinking and being loud until at least 2am. Never again. I already cancelled our two upcoming reservations we had there.
