I chose this hotel because it's nearly 100 years old and has a charm and character that modern hotels lack. My friend and I stayed in the Queen Suite which had a stellar view of downtown Flagstaff and two comfortable queen-size beds. The girl at the desk was very helpful when we checked in, and apologized for the lack of parking available for hotel guests (there are roughly 20 designated spots...if you park on the street this time of year be sure to move your vehicle before 3am, otherwise there is a public garage available which costs $35/day). The hotel has two wonderful bars that serve cocktails and incredible coffee drinks. One of the bars had a great live band performing that evening. The location is optimal - right in the middle of downtown Flagstaff. There are dozens and dozens of great restaurants, shops, and cafes within walking distance. The room was cozy and spacious and dated - but that's entirely the point of staying here. The television is a bit on the smaller side if you intend to watch sports, bit luckily there are many great places to watch a game in any direction. We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Monte Vista, and we would definitely stay here again.
