The 2007 trip to San Diego was back before I had a smart phone, and my GPS was a clunker Lowrance unit. I was driving alone with no Mrs Carrera to plan everything her way. I figured I could find a hotel in Flagstaff. I was wrong. I discovered the some large international bicycle thing was in town. No hotels had room. After calling several I asked the last one if there were places further south. There was some little area at the entrance to a big park. I found that number on the GPS and called. They were happy to have me.
It was fantastic. So many hotel in Flagstaff are next to the rail road or the airport and LOUD noises all night. This place was a mom and pop operated hotel. Surrounded by beautiful woods. I was assigned a room with a famous former guest, Buddy Hacket. Evidently some years before his car broke down in that area and he had to spend a few nights there while the car was fixed. It was yet another brush with greatness I have had in my travels.
The couple that runs it even sent me a post card with thanks for my stay.
Now it is easy with Booking.com on my cell phone to find a room.
