What guests think

At High Country Motor Lodge - Near NAU and Downtown, guests highlight a retro vibe, a lively bar and patio with fire pits, and family friendly amenities—pool, hot tub, sauna, and games—that create an easygoing, social atmosphere.

Beds are widely described as very comfortable, but many find rooms quite dark and noise from thin walls or passing trains can disrupt sleep. Facilities get strong marks—fire pits, game room, and well-kept pool area—but the sauna typically requires a paid booking, the gym is small, and the pool is often unheated; some dislike added amenity and pet fees. Food and coffee are popular though prices and selection feel limited for some; cleanliness is generally good with occasional lapses. Expect a stylish, social stay with great common spaces and some tradeoffs in room quiet and extra fees.

We loved our stay at the Motor Lodge. The room was comfortable and the grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon by the pool. There are fire pits, however they were popular so we didn't get a chance to sit by one in the evening. Next time, we will try the sauna.

Very aesthetic well kept property. Very trendy, great staff. Lots of guests around because it’s enjoyable and has everything you need- great deck with fire pits to have your morning coffee, food, snacks, craft cocktails, games, pool. Downsides: The walls are paper thin. If you’re a light sleeper you need to go elsewhere. Gym is very small. With two people it feels crowded. Everything is well kept and very clean, but the weights and bench are budget/rickety.

Decent hotel but the BS hidden /mandatory “amenity fees” have got to stop. They charged us EACH $20 extra “fee” for a bunch of things that we did NOT use or could not use. In-room Coffee - don’t drink coffee. Wifi - never used it. Pool - wasn’t open after 9 or before 9 when we left. Fitness center - a total joke size of a closet and never used it.

This hotel is not what I would consider a true 4-star property. While the lobby and hotel bar area are nicely done and give a good first impression, the rest of the property doesn’t measure up. Our room needed a thorough detail cleaning, especially along the baseboards and around the AC unit. The stairwells were dirty, and the exterior concrete areas looked neglected and poorly maintained. Definitely expected more for the rating.

Check in: Despite getting 2 confirmations from hotels.com on Tuesday, hotel could only see 2 cancellations (different reservation #s)? Front desk awesome and fixed it :) Cleanliness: Toilet was filled with leftover #2 (which we then flushed several times to clean out) so why the cleanliness score so low. Arrived in eve so haven’t seen or used the grounds, which looked great in photos. Room condition very average for the price ($234 all in on a Friday night). Very dated and stains on ceiling. First floor location very noisy until about 10 pm. Would not stay here again.

The shower could use a little TLC, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, which made us feel welcome right away. The on-site food was absolutely delicious but just a bit on the pricier side. The pool area was lovely, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Do note that it can get a little loud at times since the train passes right behind the hotel, but the location is super convenient and just a short drive to downtown. All in all, a very enjoyable stay and we’d definitely come back!

From what I understand this was supposed to be a “resort” but I think that’s stretching it a bit far. Our room was average for a motel, and the ceiling above the beds looked as if it had mold on it. The bathroom door was difficult to close and the strike plate on it fell off. The beds were comfortable, but if you’re a light sleeper you will hear the train going by several times during the night, as well as your neighbors if they’re noisy.

Great location. Quiet enough. Good parking. Beds were great with nice pillows. Some interior designer got loose and made some, let’s say questionable calls. An abyss of dark green paint and dim lighting. Challenging enough when blessed with good vision. My wife, legally blind wanted to club the fool. It could mostly be corrected with plainly higher wattage bulbs. Otherwise, it works.

Also a train coming so often that it felt like i was next to a rail yard

The overall resort was cool, very much a certain vibe that you better be into. The rooms felt very old with cosmetic updates only but were very clean and the bed was super comfy. One odd thing was there only a comforter, no top sheet so it was warm when sleeping. And the AC unit was VERY loud. It’s well located and none of these are big enough deals that I wouldn’t stay again.

We stayed when they first opened, and it was awesome.

Customer service needs a boost to give it an excellent rating again.

We reserved first floor rooms for our elderly parents on walkers and canes. We came to the hotel at noon day of check in to confirm first floor rooms and walk in showers. The front desk confirmed but said we couldn’t check in yet. We said we’d be back at 6 and they said that was fine, we were set. Upon arrival at 6, we were told there were no more first floor rooms. The desk said they couldn’t do anything. We were stuck helping handicapped parents up 15 stairs because there’s no elevator. The stair case had no wall rail. We could not go anywhere else because it’s graduation weekend and the town is sold out. They did nothing to make it right. Not to mention the obnoxious baseball kids that are randomly banging on doors to the point of making things fall off the wall. I’d like my money back. We will never stay again and will never recommend. Too bad; we are local and we were excited to have our family try out this hotel.

Even when the amenities and aesthetics of this hotel are pretty good. Customer Service is really bad: I booked a pool view room, tried to check in earlier (12:30pm) and the front desk lady said room wasn't ready until 4pm, we left and came back at 4pm, however, room wasn't still ready, waiting 30 min more and to my surprise I was given a WALL view room (picture attached) and just giving the explanation that the hotel was completely booked and didn't have any other room available, even when I explained I was there earlier, and they could at least advise me of the change of rooms, the front desk lady at the time just said: "she was taking the shift and didn't know anything about earlier". In a spite of the terrible service, we decided to stay because we had a whole itinerary planned for the weekend. And sadly, it just got worse, in the middle of the night the A/C wasn't working properly, making the room really hot and when I lower the temperature it started to make a horrible noise that didn't let us sleep the whole night. I contacted Hotels.com and got the pool view extra charge refunded and the hotel didn't a $20 fee they supposed to charge at the hotel, but the bad experience of having to go through all these issues when I only wanted to have a relaxed weekend with my family doesn't really worth the refund. I also advise of the AC malfunctioning in the morning and they just said they'll check on it, to got me thinking that that room wasn't really up to use in the first place

We booked 2 nights and all the roads to Flagstaff got closed down, after being in the car for half a day we had to turn around. The next day the roads opened and we went to go check in at the hotel, they said we couldn’t check in before 4pm without paying a fee & we would be charged a no show fee. The roads closing was completely out of our control! There was nothing we could do to prevent that. The receptionist was so unfriendly and cold, then one the managers came and was no help at all. Terrible customer service. We stay at this hotel multiple times a year and always enjoy it but the service we received was shocking.

As a result, food orders were not placed incorrectly for our table and others that we saw. Additionally the food that did come out, was not of the quality expected from description. Would return, but hope that management looks at these reviews and takes to heart training opportunities.
