⭐ Brutally Honest Review of The L Motel – Flagstaff, AZ
I knew we were booking a budget motel. We paid about $110 plus $10 for early check-in, roughly $120 total. I wasn't expecting the Ritz-Carlton. 😂
That said, The L Motel definitely has plenty of “character.” The room was extremely basic, with damaged/separating flooring, a broken bathroom cabinet, and a bathroom door and trim that clearly need maintenance.
My biggest concern was privacy. The bathroom window has no curtain or proper covering and faces an outside/back area where someone could potentially see in—or at least see a silhouette. Nothing says relaxation like wondering who's getting a free view while you're showering. 😂
The main room window also lacks adequate curtains, allowing plenty of daylight in and offering limited privacy.
To be fair, the AC worked, the beds were usable, and it provided a place to sleep. If you're passing through Flagstaff and only need a cheap room for 8–10 hours, the price may make sense.
But if you're traveling with your wife or family and want comfort, privacy, and reasonable maintenance, I'd spend a little more and stay somewhere else.
I'm not expecting luxury from a budget motel, but basic privacy, intact flooring, functioning cabinets, and a decent bathroom door shouldn't be luxury amenities. 😂
I'm including photos so you can judge for yourself.
Would I stay again? Maybe if I desperately needed the cheapest room for one night.
Would I bring my family back? No.
