Days Hotel Flagstaff offers an attractive list of features for a budget hotel, including a nice heated indoor pool complex with a whirlpool
and saunas. The attached restaurant gets high marks for its food
and sports bar, and it even offers room service. The 100 guest rooms are clean and spacious and
were upgraded in 2015 with comfortable, pillow-top mattresses. Each room has a coffeemaker, mini-fridge, and microwave. But, there’s no escaping that this
motor court-style hotel is housed in an older building that shows its age in
places including the dark bathrooms. Rates and the convenient location are
attractive to both budget-conscious tourists and business travelers. But travelers could also consider La Quinta Inn & Suites Flagstaff, a value property with bright rooms and a lovely outdoor pool. .
Scene
Motor court-style hotel with a rustic lobby and stone fireplaces
Days Hotel Flagstaff is a motor court-style hotel housed in an older building painted green and beige with brown trim. The small lobby is cozy and decorated in Southwestern rust
and gold earth tones. There are potted tropical plants and a stone fireplace
with a dark marble hearth that matches the front desk. A dark wood-paneled wall
above the fireplace rises to the second floor. A sitting area includes red
upholstered sofas in front of another stone fireplace with a mounted elk’s head
above it. The grotto-style heated indoor pool, whirlpool, and saunas are popular
especially in winter months when skiers stay at the hotel and want to soak after days on the slopes. The attached restaurant gets high marks from guests for its
food and the ambiance in its sports bar-style lounge where several TVs await. It’s popular with guests and locals alike. In warmer
months, many guests can be seen sitting outside on their patios or balconies
enjoying the fresh, high-desert air.
Location
Just off Interstate 40, less than three miles east of downtown Flagstaff
The hotel is on a busy road just off Interstate 40, about
three miles east (a five- to 10-minute drive) to the heart of downtown
Flagstaff. The Amtrak station and Northern Arizona University’s campus are both about a seven-minute drive away. The city’s Pulliam Airport is about a
10-minute drive. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants and several other
hotels that are within a brief walk. A Walmart Supercenter is three minutes
away by car. The Grand Canyon Visitor Center at the south entrance is 90 minutes away, as is the drive to Petrified Forest National Park.
Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument is approximately 30 minutes away.
Heading south, Sedona’s airport is a 50- to 60-minute drive, and the Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport is about two hours away. Heading west, Winslow is
a 50-minute drive.
Rooms
Spacious and clean with mini-fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi
Days Hotel Flagstaff is an older property, but it revamped its rooms in 2015. The result is simple, pleasant, and unsurprising decor. Gold and red are the dominant colors visible in the light gold walls and red carpet and drapes with gold accents. All rooms are furnished in dark wood headboards, tables or desks, and dressers that holds 32-inch
flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and microwaves. Dark, exposed wood beams across the
ceilings lend a rustic touch. Each room includes a gold upholstered armchair and
matching ottoman or two gold upholstered dining chairs. Beds are outfitted with new pillow-top
mattresses that were added in 2015. The
bathrooms are where the rooms reveal their age the most with brown or beige tile floors and brown granite
vanities. The standard white
shower/tub combos are framed by light blue or beige tile. Rooms come in standard king or double-queen options, and
larger Business Class suites are available with 37-inch flat-screen TVs. Every
room includes a coffeemaker (with tea), electronic safe, free Wi-Fi, and either a small patio or
balcony with two chairs. Several past guests have reported that noise can be heard from
other guests through the rather thin walls. And while rooms are generally clean and well maintained, a few past guests reported minor housekeeping issues. Views are primarily of the parking lot
or busy street, but mountains can be seen from some rooms.
