10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was adequate. Entryway and halls were very full of light and welcoming. Our room was comfortable and clean…except for the vent in the bathroom. (We let the front desk know so it could get cleaned.) We will definitely keep it in mind should we pass thru Flagstaff again! "
