The room was disgusting. The sheets smelled like the last guest. The beds were hard. There were human hair all over the pillows. It felt like they didn't change the sheets from the previous guest. My 10 year old son who is not a picky kid was grossed out by this place. The pool was filthy and unkempt.
Positives: Leaving.
Negatives: Everything.

Good for short stays, or cheap business travels. Way too close to train tracks though, trains go all night. Not good for children or light sleepers (which we had both).
Positives: It was very comfortable.
Negatives: It was WAY to close to train tracks. Trains all night.

Ok, where to begin. 1) Loud bar next door2) Trains very close blowing the horns all the time, as I'm sure it was close to a crossing. The frequency of the trains is horrid. Every 5-10 minutes. Trains travel in both directions. 3) They have ear plugs at the counter. That has to tell you something. 4) Bathroom had leaks from the toilet and the bathtub/shower. I even had to go get a plunger for the toilet from the front desk. 5) Very busy street out front. Route 66, need I say more. 6) Wi-Fi nearly non existent. Oh, it's there, you just can't connect to it. Techie by trade. No wired networking. 7) Cramped quarters, even for a 1 star. 8) Beds are sub-par.
Positives: Air Conditioning worked.
Negatives: Loud bar next door, close trains every 5-10m, blaring the horns. They have ear plugs at the counter. Worst place ever. Beware.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 26 Mar 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
Very friendly staff and helpful.
Positives: Friendly staff members, very helpful.
Negatives: Right next to a bar with loud music, next to railroad tracks.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 19 Feb 2008 rated 4 out of 10.
It worked for us because we had a long drive and we were tired when we arrived at 11:20 p.m. Management was good and responsive but the room was really dated with old dirty carpet (not because it had not been vacuumed) and there was mold in the grout of the tile shower. Room was very cold when we arrived.
Positives: Located good for our final destination.
Negatives: Drafty, icy parking lot, near railroad tracks, old carpet, mold in shower.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 24 Jan 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
All in all it was a nice hotel could have been a little cleaner and the train runs every 30 min if you dont mind the sound.
Positives: Had joining rooms.
Negatives: Older hotel, we were upper level and had to watch walking on floor.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 02 Jan 2008 rated 2 out of 10.
Horribly. The staff was nice, but completely unhelpful. The bathroom was so disgusting, I refused to shower there.
Positives: There was a bed. Because I was tired.
Negatives: It was filthy. I wouldnt shower there because I felt like I would get dirtier.

Staff was friendly and helpful.
Positives: Efficient and clean.
Negatives: No hot water in the showers.

It was a great place to stay if you needs a place just to stay and don't mind the sound of the train. It was right on Route 66, and close to many attractions, but not so close to NAU that it was overpriced.
Positives: It was close to where I needed to be.
Negatives: It was very close to the train tracks.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 04 Sep 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
We have stayed in HJ hotels many times and found them to be a great place to stay, but not in Flagstaff. It was the worst night I have ever staying in a hotel. A train blasted its horn every hour all night long. There was pink slime in the bathtub (which is easily cleaned).
Positives: Nothing.
Negatives: A loud train passed by on the hour all night blasting it's horn.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 31 Aug 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
This hotel was located next to the train tracks. The train whistle blew loud and long every hour all night. I got no sleep! What a waste on money!
Positives: The bed.
Negatives: The never ending train horn!
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 30 Aug 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
This place is cheap, and for good reason. The Railroad runs right across the street all night long, whistle and all. The shower was downright dangerous - the temperature would become very hot very quickly and then become ice cold. I would advise against showering young children, disabled, elderly, or any person with slower reflexes- you will get burned.
Positives: Price.
Negatives: Its right next to the RR tracks - we didn't sleep through a night.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 13 Aug 2007 rated 5 out of 10.
The outside appearance was fine, but when entering the room, the furniture looked like it didn't belong were it was. Overall it was clean, but the bathroom shower fixture could use some repair. This room was on the lower side- even for an economy room.
Positives: Its in a good location despite being across the street from a railroad.
Negatives: Room was awkwardly arranged.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 03 Aug 2007 rated 4 out of 10.
Railway trains passing the hotel at all hours of the day and night usually blowing their whistles right by the hotel.
Positives: Convenient location.
Negatives: Railway trains.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 03 Aug 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
Do not stay here if you want to sleep; cheap and not worth the price! I would have spent twice as much just to get sleep!
Positives: Nothing.
Negatives: Next to the train tracks every hour on the hour the train went by blowing its whistle.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 30 May 2007 rated 5 out of 10.
Not great, but not horrible either.
Positives: Clean.
Negatives: Smelled of smoke, old looking.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 11 Apr 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
Would never stay their again. As a mother, I was disgusted that my teenage children were exposed to that environment and had to hear the language they heard that night at 2 am.
Positives: Friendly staff, good cable TV.
Negatives: Loud train, drunks, needs major renovation, unsafe.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 14 Jan 2007 rated 7 out of 10.
There is lot of negative ratings. But at this rate I can't expect better. Train horn is a problem but not for me. The adjacent restaurant is good.
Positives: Cheap and value for money.
Negatives: Train horn.
