A small, spotless motel that overdelivers on Flagstaff's Route 66 strip
Castle Rock Hotel is a small, family-run motel in Flagstaff that consistently punches above its price range — a 4.6 rating from 243 reviews, with guests again and again calling out how clean the rooms are. It's the kind of place where the details are handled: fresh towels, a Folgers coffee pot in the room, and a staff that actually seems to care.
Reviewers describe crisp, modernized rooms with comfortable king beds, strong AC and heat, and the ability to cast to the in-room TV — small touches that stand out at this price point. Several guests specifically mention feeling safe and well taken care of by a small, attentive team, with more than one saying the place runs like a nicer hotel than its category suggests.
The hotel sits on South Milton Road, Flagstaff's main commercial strip, putting you within a short walk of restaurants — including a nearby tiki bar and grill guests flagged for good food and drinks — and roughly a 20-minute walk to downtown Flagstaff's Route 66 core.
Not a resort — a well-run, well-reviewed motel that consistently delivers more than its rate suggests.

Castle rock is hands down the cleanest motel/hotel I've ever been too in my entire life. The bed and pillows were super comfy, great quality. The towels are super clean. no stains, extra plush. The ac heater/fan works fast. You can cast to the TV from your phone. Which in my experience, is not common. Coffee pot in the room with folgers coffee was just like a cherry on top. I was just passing through, but this place makes me want to come back.

One night stay and we'll come back again! Pulling in you might be rethinking your decision, don't. Room was crisp, clean, and modernized. King bed was a bit soft for me but comfortable. The towels are large and super plush👍👍 Excellent value for a moderately priced room. Tiki Bar and Grill is a minute walk, great food and drinks in a super casual atmosphere.

Great location. Everything about the room was quality and cozy, from the bed and blankets to the shower and towels. The onsite manager is so charming and accommodating. If I’m coming back through Flagstaff, this is where I’ll stay!

Small family run business and you can tell they take great great pride in keeping a clean and welcoming place. Little details such as, the towels were all soft and smelled very clean and fresh, the toilet paper was a very soft, premium brand - this is an example of how the right management can run a 2 star hotel as a 4 star. Highly recommend.
