Why We’re Here
How It All Began
Our motor hotel was originally built in 1962, an era defined by its carefree spirit. Think The Jetsons meets Easy Rider. In fact, when that 1969 independent road classic was filming in and around Flagstaff, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and the rest of the crew stayed in and worked out of the Americana.
Though thoroughly reimagined, our 88-room retreat still channels the ease and optimism of that golden age of road travel with a playful dash of retro-futurism and an open embrace of our astounding natural wonders added for good measure.
Fun Design
With a custom redesign led by Andrew Alford, our hotel’s playful aesthetic pays homage to Flagstaff’s deep ties to astronomy, extraordinary natural surroundings, and our location right on iconic Route 66. A nostalgic vision of a future that once felt possible is brought to life through bold colors and vibrant geometric graphics that are equal parts vintage and modern. From the neon sign to the disco balls in the guest rooms and the shifting lobby color palette that echoes a vibrant Arizona sunset, this is a hotel designed with good times in mind.

Welcome Wags
Come with your fur babies and four-legged best friends. The hotel’s amenity fee covers their stay and use of the Barkyard, where hotel reviews are communicated in zoomies. It’s the perfect place to meet new friends, find the perfect place “to go,” and freshen up at the dog wash station.
Eco-Consciousness
It’s important we take care of this spaceship, Earth. Being in Flagstaff — the world’s first International Dark Sky City — we made sure our property’s lighting, paint, and signage reflect and emit as little light as possible, so we can all keep enjoying unspoiled starry nights. Down on the ground, we’ve planted drought-tolerant landscaping, swapped glass and plastic for aluminum cans, offer guests reusable water bottles upon check-in, use bio-friendly food packaging and flatware, and have two EV charging stations to get you fueled up and back on the road.
Command Center
Swing by our lobby, open 8 am to midnight daily. Comfortable couches, board games, and a TV make it more than just a place to check in. Whether you’re picking up a few items at our shop or just grabbing freshly brewed coffee in the morning, stop by the front desk. Our team knows its way around Flagstaff and can help with tips and suggestions.
Souvenirs & Sundries
Forgot something at home? Pop into the lobby and see if we’ve got what you need in our retail area. From must-have souvenirs, road-trip essentials, and sunscreen for the trails to drinks and snacks to have in your room, we’ve got you covered.

Lowell Observatory
Go from road-tripping to exploring space with tickets to the Lowell Observatory available here as part of our exclusive room package and at the front desk. It’s a fascinating place any day of the week, but the “meet an astronomer” event on Saturday evenings is a highlight that’s included with the ticket price. We can also help arrange for their astronomers to hold private star-gazing events at our hotel for groups with a room block.

We got you. Canned beverages are available in the lobby.
The Barkyard beckons. Your pet can take care of business safely — far from cars and prying eyes — in our fenced pet relief area located toward the back of the property. We ask that you please pick up after your pet and use the provided trash can.
We have dedicated areas in the Backyard for just this purpose. Borrow balls and bags from the front desk, and get to it.
Borrow a telescope from the front desk, and explore Flagstaff's dark skies from the Backyard.
Guests can borrow the bicycles available on site on a first-come, first-served basis; pick up a helmet, sign out a bike from the front desk, and hit the trails.
Cozy up at any of our gas fire pits in the backyard; they light up on demand using the dial on the side. We just ask that you wrap it up by 10 pm when quiet hours begin.
The pool is open 8 am to 9 pm daily. Use your room key to access the gate, and swim at your own risk. There’s no lifeguard on duty. Use your guest room robe to stay cozy on the way, but leave your towels in your room. The pool towels stocked by the pool can be used there.
Guest room A/C and heating are controlled by the thermostat on the wall, not the dials on the units themselves.
Our friends at Baja Mar food truck are here on weekends. The IHOP next door is open 24/7, and we’ve got snacks in the lobby from morning to midnight. We also encourage you to check out the local favorites.
