The Motor Lodge

Colorful, Retro Vibes in the Heart of Prescott

The Motor Lodge is a funky, boutique-style hotel nestled in downtown Prescott, Arizona. Just under a mile from the Sharlot Hall Museum and a short drive from lively entertainment spots, this cozy hideaway mixes vintage charm with modern comfort. Each room is uniquely decorated with retro flair, and all include free Wi-Fi, smart TVs with DirectTV, a refrigerator, coffee maker, and even a private patio.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can walk to several downtown music venues in minutes, making The Motor Lodge a perfect home base for catching a show without worrying about late-night transport. With check-in starting at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s just enough flexibility to sleep in after a loud night. Despite being centrally located, the hotel is known for its peaceful atmosphere, so you can wind down easily after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish, laid-back stay
- Solo travelers chasing a dream show
- Couples on a music-filled weekend escape
- Fans who want a quieter place to recover post-concert
- Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value and character

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, each room features a fridge and coffee maker, and you're steps away from walkable local eateries serving everything from casual bites to craft cocktails. Perfect for grabbing a bite before or after the show. Morning coffee in-room or out on your private patio is a bonus after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Downtown Prescott has a lively bar scene, and The Motor Lodge places you within walking distance of pubs, lounges, and venues offering everything from local bands to DJ sets. If you prefer something quieter, your private patio is a great spot for a nightcap under the stars.

What People Say

Guests rave about the quirky, welcoming vibe and the super friendly staff. Many love the motel’s retro charm, clean rooms, and the convenience of being close to everything downtown. The patios and thoughtful in-room touches (like real coffee mugs and cozy decor) make it feel more like a home than a hotel.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, and some guests mention that the property is small — think quaint, not sprawling. But most agree that the charm and location more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

The Motor Lodge is a colorful, comfortable downtown Prescott stay that hits the sweet spot between style, location, and post-concert relaxation.
