Flagstaff
This charming historic hotel in downtown Flagstaff opened its doors in 1900, and the rooms maintain a pared-down turn-of-the-20th-century authenticity. The three cheapest rooms with double beds have no air-con, TV or bathrooms, while the nicer queen and king rooms all have modern amenities. There's a lovely wraparound porch on the 3rd floor.
Note that the hotel hosts three bars and weekend live music. If you need quiet in the evening, consider staying elsewhere.
