    Hot Tub
    Sandra V.

    Great customer service Robert M... snowing like rip, easy check in, hot coffee & a great room

    Ricky S.

    Nice stay - Bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. Shower had a nice strong stream. Even the refrigerator worked :-) so the only negative i experienced from this stay was that a $5.00 parking fee was added to my bill. I have a normal sedan, so i am guessing all guests pay this fee.

    Again, we chose to stay at a Holiday Inn Express and are super happy with our choice! We all slept very well. The beds were comfy. We were able to do some laundry again. The room was nice and clean. The AC worked well to keep us cool from the desert heat! The view was nice. Ahh... blue skies and the mountains! My little one loved watching the trains go by! Although the highway was close by and in view, the road noise was minimal. IMO, it provided adequate white noise to help us sleep. Plus, my little guy enjoyed seeing and calling out the different vehicles driving by. This room was smaller than our last room, but was still comfortable and we had an adjoining room with my dad who is traveling with us. That was super fun and safe for my toddler to run around freely and go between rooms with ease! The bathroom was sufficient and clean. The tub/shower worked great for getting hot water and controlling the flow of water. This is the first hotel that still has this type of faucet. I prefer them because the super hard flow of water rushing out is intimidating to my little guy. He had fun in this tub and played as he usually does during his bathtime instead of trying to climb out. Stocked with enough towels for our family of 3 and a door that didn't close on its own saved my little one's fingers from getting caught. His fingers got smashed by the bathroom door at our last hotel room. We learned from that to just throw a towel over the door. Poor guy. The hotel is operating under Covid-19 restrictions, so no free breakfast buffet. So sad. I noticed another reviewer had a to-go breakfast and gave only a 1 star review for that. Ugh. Hello! We are still working through a world pandemic. I think I can be a little forgiving for no buffet. It was nice to get anything at all in a brown bag that I could grab on the way out. Water (1 bottle), banana, yogurt, granola bar, and free coffee (in room) ... we didn't leave hungry. Under normal circumstances, I think I would still give them a great rating. My family and I agree that we would stay here again, if in the area. We just might since we plan to travel again later than sooner! I recommend if you're looking for a good night's rest at $100 or less per night! Check online for discounted room rates!

    The staff is friendly, and the check-in is also smooth. So the lower rating is not because of the staff. It's more of the management of the hotel as there are several things that need to be fixed, updated, or just refurbished. The A/C unit is busted open (but still manages to work), the shower is cracked, the light switch is jammed so it's hard to turn on/off, and there is a stain on the light shade. I'm not expecting a 5-star resort, but at least fix these visible things so the room feels clean and maintained. The TV is an older model. There is a microwave and refrigerator in the room, which is nice. There is ample storage space too, which is also a plus. I feel bad for the staff since they are genuinely really friendly, but the management is neglecting to spend the money to fix things in the rooms. You can see what I'm talking about in the pictures.

    Watered down apple juice
    Jerry O.

    The mattresses in our room was exhausted and unsupportive. Had hip pain as a result all through the night. Tried breakfast - that was also a mistake. The Turkey sausage was flavorless, the apple juice was watered down. For the price you pay (we paid $250/nt) It is Not Worth it. I've been a rewards Member of HIE for 15 years. Lately the quality has gone down at a variety (not all) locations. I would think this is hurting their business. I hope they improve their quality. I plan to change brands...

    Hairs in the bed!

Yes, there is a utility surcharge fee 7.77 per night regardless of where you book, but after taxes and fees, it was still less than $100! This is a solid choice if you don't plan on spending your time at the inn. My bed was comfortable, the room was clean (even though it had the scent of yesteryear), the employees I interacted with were all helpful, the parking was ample, and yes... you can walk across the parking lot to Porky's to grab a pitcher. There's also a gas station mini mart that's close. And yes, there are a few not so glamorous aspects of staying here. The walls are thin, and you'll hear every loudmouth in the hallway, as well as every footstep of the behemoths staying above you. The shower pressure could be considered in the "spittle" family. The jacuzzi is located inside a small building to the back of the pool, and elicits smells of those childhood days spent at the YMCA. The pool is pretty nice if you find yourself there alone... but don't get too comfy, because a large troupe of teenagers with awkward social skills is heading your way. And so is that creepy old man who stares at you with a towel draped over his head, as if that really conceals his disturbingly unending gaze. And don't forget that young boy, who loves repeatedly jumping into the shallow end, with a splash that never seems to miss hitting you, where ever you may be. No Pets Allowed. Smoke free property

    Blue, the front desk associate, has some of the worst communication skills I've seen in customer…read moreservice. He is extremely hostile and quick to raise his voice to yell at customers. 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 staff when I arrived was nice and welcoming. Lee was working and she's absolutely wonderful. This being said- I switched rooms three times within the first 10 minutes. First room was cleanish but smelled of smoke and although it's listed as smoke free- the room next to it was cracked a foot and there was a man smoking in his doorway. The second rooms beds were made but the bedding was unusually wrinkled, I pulled both back and there was body fluids and tons of hair all over the sheets. 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. Phone had dirt all over it and was sticky, there was crumbs all over the floor (didn't realize it until I took my socks off and walked to the bathroom and then we put shoes on anytime we walked on the floors afterwards), there is dirt build up everywhere and in every nook and cranny of the room, it looks like at one point they painted or resealed bathtubs and they are all peeling, there is stuff wiped all over the walls, the elevator/stairs/everywhere that's a common area is 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.

This was two items they charged an extra $50 for. The "fan" was supposed to cool the room after 30 minutes but blew hot air out no matter what setting. This demonstrated lack of any oversight or care that a room in such deplorable conditions was even offered to a paying guest. I demanded my money back or that they make it right. We paid for a 6 night stay. The next room they moved us to was much better. The microwave was clean and the fridge worked. Turned on the "fan" and the room cooled to near freezing. We stayed our 6 nights. I believe this place has a long term stay area were there are sketchy people that I see holding signs on street corners. And I firmly believe they have substandard conditions there because they claimed their air conditioning was broken. Maybe in that one building but no fan will ever cool a room to near freezing. That's air conditioning. I believe they have a guest section where everything works and then a long term stay where they could care less that anything works. The location is convenient to a highway, Walmart, fast food and restaurants. Parking is plentiful. After a certain time you must speak to a kiosk with someone on video as the front desk is installed.

    We decided last minute on the Friday before the 4th of July that we indeed could not bare the heat…read moreany longer in Phoenix so my husband called Little America to see if they had any rooms, thankfully they did. We packed our bags and headed up to Flagstaff for some reprieve. A little nervous taking our 2 year old but based on the reviews, we took a chance. I'm beyond grateful we did. Our hotel room was exactly what we needed, two beds, plenty of space, updated, mini fridge, mini microwave, bathtub to bathe little, super comfy beds and blackout shades to get some well deserved rest (if you have kids - you know). We only checked out the restaurant for breakfast and it was okay - nothing amazing but also not bad. The waitstaff were very pleasant and timely. The amenities are what really stole the show. The park was actually perfect for our toddler to run around, get dirty and make some new friends. It's well designed to accommodate kids of all ages and actually entertained me as mom too. We met plenty of other parents there with their littles which made it that much better. We planned to check out the pool but our son was on explorer mode so the trails, basketball court and park took up his time. The only downside to our stay, was that our bathtub drain was clogged so our showers were so fun with standing water up to our ankles. We did call a few times but no one ever came to fix it (maintenance was tied up with the pool I later heard and it was a holiday weekend so maybe they were short staffed). I called and spoke with the front desk who offered us a comp toward our bill for the inconvenience which was appreciated. Overall we had a lovely stay and plan to return in the winter for their Christmas festivities.

    My overall rating for Little America Hotel Flagstaff is 3 stars…read more I want to start by saying that overall, many of the staff were kind, and I've stayed at this property multiple times before with good experiences. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the beds and pillows are amazing, and the views of the Coconino Forest are beautiful. I also really enjoy the heated pool, the walking trails, and how convenient the location is to nearby stores, gas stations, food, and the highway. However, this stay started off on a rough note during check-in and unfortunately impacted my overall experience. When I approached the front desk, the representative (I believe his name was Hudson) had just been warm and friendly with the guests ahead of me. But when it was my turn, his entire demeanor shifted. I greeted him politely, introduced myself, and asked how he was doing--he didn't acknowledge my greeting at all. He became very robotic, avoided eye contact, and rushed through the process in a way that felt uncomfortable and dismissive. The interaction continued to feel tense. He spoke quickly, made assumptions about my payment method, and presented documents to sign without explanation or engagement. The only time he made eye contact was when emphasizing rules about no smoking and no pets. I had previously called to confirm that I could bring my cat, who is an emotional support animal, and was told that would be allowed with documentation. When I explained this, he became agitated and insisted I must have spoken to a third party, implying the information I received wasn't valid. After requesting a manager, the situation shifted, and I was eventually allowed to proceed with a one-time fee instead of a nightly charge. However, the interaction felt unnecessarily difficult and uncomfortable. What made this experience more concerning was something I observed after checking in. When I connected to the TV system, I noticed that one of the device names visible on the network included a racial slur. Guests do not have the ability to rename these TVs--they are pre-programmed--so this is something that had to come from within the organization. That was extremely upsetting and unacceptable to see in a professional environment. It's 2026, and people are still out here using racial slurs, spreading hate instead of love and kindness. I'm not interested in being in environments that feel stuck in the past. I want to be around warm, welcoming, modern people who choose unity over division. This is the main reason I cannot rate this stay higher. While I understand that not everyone reflects this behavior, it raises serious concerns about oversight and accountability. Management should be more attentive to what is happening within their establishment, especially when it comes to creating a respectful and inclusive environment for all guests. It's disappointing because I've enjoyed staying here in the past. However, based on this experience, I don't feel comfortable returning and will choose to spend my money elsewhere moving forward.
