Hotel Ski Lift Lodge & Cabins (Flagstaff, USA)

Reviewers appreciated the choice of hotel-style rooms and suites or bungalow cabins in the woods. Although the accommodation was reportedly straightforward, many travellers felt it was adequately comfy and clean. There was also praise for the kitchenettes and living areas in selected rooms. Budget-conscious visitors often remarked that they got decent value for money thanks to the affordable room rates.

With its direct access to US Route 180 this property in a rustic setting amid mountain scenery at the edge of a pine forest appealed to reviewers as it was a short drive from ski lifts at the Arizona Snowbowl plus historic downtown Flagstaff. Lovers of the great outdoors were delighted to be within easy reach of climbing, mountain biking and hiking country. The stunning Grand Canyon National Park was also located within moderate driving distance. The ample free parking also appealed.

Travellers sang the praises of the pleasant, helpful and professional employees who provided good customer service and often went the extra mile. Animal lovers welcomed the pet-friendly policy. The reasonably-priced meals served in the on-site restaurant-bar appealed to diners.

The free Wi-Fi service occasionally underperformed, according to several critics who claimed the speeds and signal strength were poor in some areas of the premises.

Critics in some parts of the property were disappointed by cleanliness and maintenance issues like dodgy plumbing, dated decor, tired-looking furniture, inadequately cleaned bathrooms and aging carpets. Some visitors also struggled to adjust the room temperature or disliked the small showers.

Although it was free and convenient, the continental breakfast lacked variety for some diners. However, there were additional hot items served at weekends.
