Drury Inn & Suites Flagstaff
Stayed four nights: Great location - parking is odd, but we were able to find a spot near the hotel each day. Breakfast was not great one morning, but fine the rest of the days.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Flagstaff
Under construction but quite and comfortable. We’ve been staying at LQ across the US on our travels, this is a better one! Just left one in Albuquerque that was subpar at most.
