Where to Stay

Budget lodging in Flagstaff consists of motels, travelodges, cheap hotels and guest houses. Many of the most affordable hotels are located along East and West Santa Fe Avenue (previously known as Route 66), East Butler Avenue, Lucky Lane, North Kasper Avenue and to the south of Milton Road, towards the Interstate I-40. These include major chains, such as the Days Inn, Howard Johnson, Inn Suites Flagstaff, Rodeway Inn and the Super 8 Motel.

Flagstaff contains a busy railroad, which intersects the town center, and therefore light sleepers should be aware of this and look for accommodation elsewhere, such as the more peaceful southerly end of Milton Road.
