Kings House Motor Hotel

A clean, no-frills Route 66 stopover on the way to the canyon

Flagstaff, AZ

About

Kings House Motor Hotel is a straightforward roadside motel on Route 66 in Flagstaff, about 80 miles south of the South Rim — a practical stopover for anyone driving in or out of the canyon along I-40. It's earned a 4.3 rating from 129 Google reviews, with guests consistently calling out clean rooms, easy check-in, and friendly front-desk staff at a budget-friendly price.

What to expect

Rooms are simple but well-kept — typically two double beds, a separate shower/toilet, TV, desk, fridge and microwave. It's the kind of place built for a one-night road-trip stop rather than a destination stay, and reviewers repeatedly note it's a good value for the price. There's a coin-operated laundry machine on site, which past guests have used mid-trip.

Good to know

  • Location: 1560 E Route 66, Flagstaff — close to the airport (about an 8-minute drive) and the Amtrak station (about a 2-minute walk)
  • Trains: the rail line runs close by, and multiple reviewers mention hearing trains overnight — light sleepers should plan accordingly
  • Fees: guests have reported a separate incidental hold/charge at check-in worth confirming when you book

Not a luxury stay, but for a clean, affordable bed along the Route 66 corridor between Flagstaff and the canyon, it consistently delivers on the basics.

Adequate, but basic accomodations. The upsides: Affordable. Comfortable bed, working microwave and fridge, decent shower (no tub). Downsides, the room could have been cleaner, there was hair in the towels, on the floor, and in the shower. I had to kill a pretty sizeable bug in my room. The AC unit only has on and off modes so I had to get up multiple times in the night to turn it on or off. The lobby is only open during the daytime, so don't lock yourself out in the morning or evening like I did once. The rooms are pretty cramped. Other people have mentioned the train so I'll weigh in. It's across the street, but didn't bother me at all. However, I've never in my life seen a busier track. A 100 car train go past every 15 minutes, day and night. It's not like once or twice during the night, it's constant so if it would bother you, it'll be persistent. Overall, not sure if stay again. It was affordable, you definitely get what you pay for, or lack thereof. Maybe Ok for a one night stay on a tight budget.

Everything one needs in a budget motel! OK, it’s not a Hilton, it’s a budget motel. That said it is clean, the staff is friendly, the location is good and the parking is adequate. The rooms were as updated as older architecture would allow and my only suggestion is that rooms need a comfortable chair. Bathroom nicely updated, plenty of hot water with good pressure. Fridge and microwave, small TV. I was in town for a dog show and my 80Lb GSD didn’t raise any eyebrows. Lots of other dogs on property yet it was clean and everyone was respectful.

Perfectly decent hotel in Flagstaff. Rooms were clean, service was good, price was reasonable. Bathroom was really good for the price point. There are train tracks right next door, so it was a little loud, and some of my linens in the room were stained. Other than that, no complaints and would stay again for the price!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and this hotel has clearly had a recent refresh. Unfortunately when we checked in the bathroom was dirty. There were many hairs in the shower, there were dirty shoe prints on the floor, and finger prints and dirt all over the door and wall. The toilet had spots and needed to be scrubbed. We let the front desk know when we went to get dinner and they said they would send someone from housekeeping to clean it. When we got back, it was obvious that someone had just come in and turned the shower on to rinse most of the hairs away without cleaning the rest of the room. At this point we just needed to go to bed and so didn’t call the front desk again. There were still a few hairs and none of the rest was cleaned. The bedding seemed clean, and the location was easy to get to restaurants and a grocery store.

You really can't beat the deal. Room was very clean and accessible. Receptionist was very helpful and even gave us some forgotten supplies. Only complaint is the beds are super soft and weren't our preferred supportiveness. But that's just an opinion and no reflection to the hotel itself. Thank you and we will be back here if we come through Flagstaff again.
