A reliable mid-range choice in Flagstaff near downtown and Route 66, this Hampton Inn offers free hot breakfast, an indoor pool, and comfortable rooms — a solid base for Grand Canyon day trips (1.5 hours south) and Sedona excursions. Flagstaff's cooler climate is a bonus in summer months.
Hampton Inn Flagstaff occupies a location on South Beulah Boulevard near Interstate 40 and Historic Route 66 in Flagstaff, Arizona, about 1.5 miles from downtown Flagstaff's restaurant and brewery district and 80 miles by car from the Grand Canyon's South Rim. Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet elevation — the highest of any major Arizona city — giving it summer temperatures typically in the upper 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit while Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tucson endure triple-digit heat, making it a popular summer escape and a practical base for multi-day Arizona road trips combining the Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Route 66. The hotel offers 90 rooms across three floors, with standard king and double-queen configurations in the contemporary Hampton Inn design language. The free hot breakfast buffet is served daily and includes eggs, waffles, fresh fruit, and hot items — a meaningful cost offset in a tourist destination with limited budget dining options. The indoor pool and hot tub are available year-round, important given Flagstaff's genuine winters when outdoor swimming is impractical. A fitness center with cardio equipment and basic free weights occupies a dedicated ground-floor room. Free WiFi and free parking are both included in the nightly rate, useful cost advantages in a destination where event parking and connectivity surcharges accumulate at competing properties. The hotel is positioned within a 5-minute drive of Northern Arizona University's campus and Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG). Adjacent chain restaurants and a large grocery store make the property convenient for road-trippers stocking provisions before canyon visits or covering extended segments of Historic Route 66 westward.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hampton Inn Flagstaff a good base for Grand Canyon day trips?
Yes — Flagstaff is 80 miles from the Grand Canyon South Rim, about a 1.5-hour drive. It is the most practical affordable overnight base outside the canyon for visitors who could not secure El Tovar or Bright Angel Lodge rooms. An early 7 am departure is recommended to arrive before peak crowds.
How cold does Flagstaff get in winter?
Flagstaff regularly receives snow from November through March, with temperatures below freezing most winter nights. The indoor pool is heated year-round. Winter driving requires attention to road conditions on nearby mountain passes and canyon access routes.
Is the Hampton Inn Flagstaff near Historic Route 66?
South Beulah Boulevard runs parallel to Historic Route 66, and the hotel is within 1.5 miles of the original Route 66 corridor through downtown Flagstaff's preserved commercial district.
Does Flagstaff have its own airport?
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG) is approximately 4 miles from the hotel and offers daily service to Phoenix Sky Harbor on American Airlines regional partners. Flying into Phoenix and driving the 2.5-hour route is generally less expensive but adds travel time.
