From the Western Hills Motel Website:
"Flagstaff’s Western Hills Motel just one mile East of Downtown. Located on Historic Route 66, nestled among cool Ponderosa pines. Relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air, visit with family and friends or have a warm weather BBQ. There is a terrific Mexican restaurant right on the property serving homemade Mexican food for lunch and dinner every day and we are only one and one half miles from Northern Arizona University and the World famous Lowell Observatory."
