The Motor Lodge is such a fun and unique lodging experience! We love visiting Motor Courts and The Motor Lodge has a fun eclectic style and unbeatable location to historic downtown Prescott. Staying at this motor court felt like a step back in time with modern amenities.
The highlights were the decor, perfectly comfortable Tuft & Needle Mattresses, Kitchen with Refrigerator, cute front porch areas off the room, as well as a TV with lots of channels & Roku for streaming.
The cons of The Motor Lodge were the fact that pets aren't allowed, noise of the traffic (though expected because it's a motor lodge), and the shower which was a tight space even for an average sized person paired with a strange shower head that made showering difficult. Additionally, the fireplace wasn't working during our stay, we let their team know and they blamed it on it being old and didn't offer any compensation or fix until it was too late which was a bit of a bummer.
Overall, worth visiting but at the price point it is a bit high for the experience we had!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We're glad you enjoyed your visit to The Motor Lodge! As a 1937 motor court, most of the rooms have bathrooms are on the small side--back in the day they made the kitchen areas bigger since there weren't as many restaurants and most motor travelers cooked where they stayed. We do have several rooms with larger bathrooms including two with tubs. You may choose a bathroom with your preference of amenities. We tried allowing pets early on, but as a small property it puts us in tight spot if a room is damaged or exceptionally soiled by a pet. We do allow service animals. I apologize for the fireplace not cooperating. The thermostat was on the fritz and it is now replaced. Thanks again for supporting small and groovy motor courts like us and we hope to see you again down the road. . . stay groovy!

We love staying in this funky, vintage motor lodge. The rooms are clean, spacious and well appointed. Each room has a unique decor and floor plan.
The staff are very friendly and attentive. Dallas was very helpful during our stay.
Our favorite part of our stay is sitting on our room's patio and enjoying the scenery and beautiful weather.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jeffrey S.Tucson, AZ993723Jul 28, 2023

We really enjoyed our stay, we added the romance package which included everything pictured on the tray and two bath robes to lounge in. The staff was so friendly. We will definitely be back.

You know the rare times you wish there was a six-star option? Yeah, well this is one of those times! The Motor Lodge was such an awesome place to stay, and I wish we had more than one night in town. This place was renovated sometime in the last ten years or so and made into a hip, unique, funky boutique motel. Total retro vibes and very well-kept.
We arrived mid-afternoon and popped into the check-in area. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. You could tell how much they enjoyed working for this motel and chatting with all of the travelers passing through. We were offered a beer/wine for our arrival and given a personal tour of the rooms, as well as the common areas outside that include bonfire pits to enjoy.
Among the five of us, we had three units booked. Not to brag or anything, but I think my husband and I definitely got the coolest one (#06)! Pictures don't even go it justice. They're all totally individual and distinctive in their own way. It was a classic room with a California king size bed (SO comfortable), fireplace, and wonderfully updated bathroom area. There's also a designated parking spot for each unit and a nice little front porch.
Highly recommend this place to everyone passing through Prescott! You'll no doubt have an enjoyable stay, and will leave with a bag of homemade chocolate chip cookies.Helpful 12Thanks 0Love this 13Oh no 0 - Jack S.Danville, CA2958156Jun 8, 2022
A true gem! Service was what you would expect in a small town like Prescott. Kind, prompt and the lost art of just being super friendly.
The room itself is truly amazing. Don't let the "vintage" feel fool you, the rooms are meticulously clean and perfectly stated. Even my 9 year old loves this place even though he had no idea what the contraption on the table was. Rotary phone! That made for a fun discussion that left him co fused and me feeling old but oddly satisfied of my youth.
I'll definitely be staying here again!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us at The Motor Lodge! It's always fun to meet new guests and introduce some of our younger guests to old contraptions like rotary phones and radios. We look forward to your next visit and wish you safe travels on your overlanding adventures!

I would go back. I only wish they had told me beforehand that my room would not be in the motor court, but outside on the street. It's the only room there that's apart from everything else. This room also has no parking-I had to leave my car on the street in front of the convenience store with its foot traffic walking past my car all night. My room had both blackout blinds and blackout curtains on the window for privacy, but it did make the room very dark. What they describe as a private patio has zero privacy, being on the street with the foot traffic only a few feet away. My patio's view of the convenience store, convenience store customers, big trash dumpster and one recent convenience store customer behind the big trash dumpster enjoying his beverage of choice from a brown paper bag---was less than relaxing, and not what I was expecting from the description on their website.
And yet the staff are nice, the room design is charming, and it's only a 10 minute walk to downtown. I just suggest you call directly to book a room that's inside the motor court.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Queenny C.Santa Ana, CA211521053Sep 20, 2020
The lodge is super cute, very well kept, clean and with great smell (big plus for me).
It's pretty smart the way they built it, each unit by itself, separating from next unit so we don't hear our neighbor, besides we have our own large patio in front and our own parking spot on one side of our unit with 2 bicycles for us to use with no extra charge. Very clever setting.
Welcome us with many choices of either wine, beer, soft drink and goodbye with a bag of chocolate chips cookies.
Walking distance to Main Street and Whiskey Row for restaurants and 3 minutes drive to supermarket so it's super convenient.
King size bed, unfortunately it was soft and we like and used to the firm mattress so it took us one night to get use to.
We love this place so much so we didn't want to take a point from the rating.
Another plus point is the good size state of the art fridge for our drinks
Highly recommend to everyone who likes to stay in a place with nice, fun and positive characteristicHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kim A.Tucson, AZ492Jan 9, 2022
I love this hotel! Everyone is so nice and helpful. I was able to stay here for nearly a month during a family move and it was a treat! Along with the cool decor in each room and the little carports to keep the snow and ice off, there were gas fireplaces in every room. Fridges, big modern tvs, and a nice adult beverage in the evening whenever I asked. I will definitely stay there again!

Kim, It was our pleasure to be your home a way from home over the holidays and through this transition. I personally enjoyed your company in the evenings on a few occasions before I would close the office. Thank you for allowing us at the Motor Lodge to be your go-to place and until we see you again stay groovy Kim !

REALLY enjoyed my stay! The customer service was phenomenal! I received an email at confirmation of booking that they were looking forward to seeing me. The day of, I received a voice mail stating that my room was ready if I wanted to check in early. Upon arrival the lady at check in was very personable. She provided a complimentary glass of wine and walked the drinks up to our room and showed us around the room. Upon check out, there were some complementary cookies.
The ROOM: The room was in SUPER good shape and VERY clean. It even smelled clean. The furniture and accessories were well places and totally retro that fit with the theme of the whole place. The bed was comfy and soft. The bathroom was small but functional and VERY clean.
There was a nice patio and clean/comfy chairs to sit in. We sat outside late into the evening. It was great!
There is some road noise sitting outside but you can't hear anything inside the rooms. It is very quiet. The whole court was quiet even though all rooms appeared to be occupied.
Will definitely be back. The only drawback is that it is a pretty far walk to Whiskey Row (if you are out for the nightlife).Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We're glad you enjoyed your stay here at The Motor Lodge! The details of your review are excellent and will give future guests a good idea of what to expect. I would note that the "pretty far walk" to Whiskey Row is exactly three blocks...far for some guests, short for others--and we have bikes should a guest like to ride down. Thanks for the visit and we look forward to seeing you on down the road!
