Hotels in Flagstaff

Parents and students alike will find that staying at a Flagstaff hotel near NAU is much more convenient when visiting or moving onto campus. Parking at NAU is notorious for being cumbersome and parking tickets are given out like candy. Staying at a Flagstaff hotel near campus will allow you to either walk to campus, take a short shuttle or even ride your bike if that's your thing. Flagstaff is an incredibly bike-friendly city and you can get to downtown, grocery stores and most anything you need by bike if you're staying at a hotel near NAU. This is a great choice for students who arrive early in the semester but have limited access to a vehicle.

Even though Flagstaff, AZ is not very big, it's big enough that staying in a hotel within walking distance of downtown can make your visit more enjoyable if you're planning on spending a good amount of time downtown. During high-traffic weekends (which is more often than not year-round), there are plenty of events and activities that can make parking downtown quite the ordeal. Flagstaff's downtown is vibrant and full of good stuff. There's an impressive amount of good dining, places to have drinks or coffee, interesting shops, and all sorts of entertainment available all within walking distance. Once you're downtown, there's very little reason to have to get in your car unless you're headed out to enjoy the great outdoors, which are really great around Flagstaff. After a day of enjoying downtown and possibly having a couple of drinks, you'll be happy that your hotel is just down the street. If you're from the Phoenix area like many visitors are and you're visiting in the winter, a downtown hotel minimizes the amount of snow driving you'll have to do. Many vehicles that are great for driving the freeways in Phoenix don't always handle the best on snow. Overall, it's a more enjoyable and safer option.
