Rodeway Inn

The Parkside Inn is one of a number of little motels/inn in the charming town of Flagstaff, though it holds no particular charm itself. My friend and I arrived in the bright light of mid-morning, only to find our room only had one double-sized bed when we thought we paid for two. A misunderstanding perhaps, though the room was also very small with little walking space.

Luckily we found a more spacious room with a bigger bathroom right next to it with two beds that was vacant and only cost $20 more for the day. Both rooms had a small fridge, a microwave, and a television with cable. Those amenities proved useful once we found parking on the street nearby since our parking spot was taken for much of the time we stayed there.

Unique Quality: This was a cost-effective and utilitarian choice overall for setting up camp while exploring Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, and much more. The firm-yet-comfy beds were enough to make up for the rest and earn it kudos from this weary traveler.

Directions: 1-40 Exit 195, property 2 miles on left.
