Top Painted Desert Hotel Reviews

Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staffs. Spacious and clean room. Nice pool and hot tub. Very nice stay. Will be back."

Greentree Inn Holbrook

8/10 Good

"The connecting door to the next room was closed but we could hear everything they said. Also could hear people above us walking."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Holbrook Petrified Forest

10/10 Excellent

"New hotel. Everything still works! Clean. Quiet. Pets allowed. Easy access to the highway. Plenty of restaurants within 5 minutes. Hotel has hot breakfast typical of most hotels. The only negative is a minor one - I hate the "don't steal me" hangers, the ones that the hanger loop stays on the rod."

Little America Flagstaff

10/10 Excellent

Clarion Pointe Winslow I-40

Quality Inn Holbrook near Petrified Forest

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival I was greeted with a very friendly, polite and helpful Sergio! Thank you for making our check in a breeze. We had a very clean room. My only concern was a construction dumpster in the parking space outside our door. I realize those things are sometimes unavoidable, and considering everything in total…5*!!"

La Posada Hotel

8/10 Good

"Historic hotel with interesting nooks and crannies to explore. Room with a balcony was very nice but be aware the rooms don’t have refrigerators, safes, microwaves or coffee stations. There is no elevator but if luggage help is needed, staff is available. Trains ran all night long so if you’re a light sleeper, that may be a problem. The gardens were peaceful and well maintained. Overall, a beautiful place to stay while in Winslow, AZ."
