The Grand Living Bed & Breakfast

Great clothing optional location. Open to the public. Can be seen from the road. The common area is great for meeting other travelers, nude, and non nude guests. The outdoor space is clean and well landscaped. Has a gazebo area with an artificial turf space great for sunbathing

We stayed here because the price was right. It was better than paying over $250 a night at the Best Western, which is where we've always stayed before. The decor: Rustic cabin meets kind of updated Grandma's house. Wasn't a fan of the lace lampshades and curtains. Large bathroom with claw foot tub, if you're into that. Stayed here for 3 nights between Christmas and New Year, because they said there was a 3-night minimum. Other guests came while we were there but definitely didn't stay 3 nights though. Only one heat source, a gas fireplace with fake logs that you turned off and on with a remote. No thermostat to regulate it. Well-stocked Keurig in the common room outside so you had to go out there to make coffee or tea. Comfortable-enough bed, but only two pillows provided. Glad we brought our own after reading a review here. No maid service and no onsite staff, but that was okay. They provided enough towels and supplies for our stay. Except for tissue paper. They had a couple of boxes of those out in the common area. Would have liked to have one in the room. No breakfast provided, but that was okay too. Plenty of places in town to have breakfast. Our biggest issues: The noise and the lack of water pressure. There is a Lodge part of the hotel, and there is the Inn part of the hotel, which has four rooms on the ground floor. In the Lodge, I'm guessing there are rooms on the ground floor behind the common area of the Inn and that these rooms had kitchenettes. I say that because I could hear an entire conversation and pots and pans banging behind those doors when I was sitting in the common room. There were also rooms above us with families that I'm guessing were going to the Grand Canyon on the train and children stomping around at 6:30 in the morning as well as at night! There are also trains that go by but that really wasn't even an issue. Husband tried to take a shower in the morning and the water pressure was down to a trickle. Wasn't an issue for me since I take a shower at 10 or 11 pm. Also, for some reason, my tablet couldn't connect to the WiFi even though our phones could. It's not so bad if you just need a place to stay and don't want to pay an arm and a leg. When I saw that the hotel provides earplugs, I knew that couldn't be a good sign.

We stayed two nights at Quarter Horse. The check in process was really easy. There isn’t anyone on the grounds and the check in was by email. It does kind of stink not having maid service. We had to reuse our wash cloths and towels. Some really wonderful things and things that could use improvement. This is by an active train but that really wasn’t bad. I brought a small fan for white noise, which really helps to not hear people waking upstairs or outside. The bed was large and comfortable. Could use more comfortable pillows. The bathroom was clean. I’m tall so the claw foot tub was a challenge for showers. It would be nice to have some nice soaps and extra towels. The room is beautiful and definitely fits the area. The fireplace offers a lot of heat and was lovely. The ceiling fan needs balancing and couldn’t be turned on high. The main area had coffee and bagged snacks. It would be nice to have a book at the desk with restaurants and attractions in the area. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Was a great central location between the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff. The log home definitely fits the area and the out west feel.
