The Monte Vista Hotel opened on New Year’s Day, January 1, 1927 and is the oldest operational hotel in Flagstaff. Stories of the hauntings of Hotel Monte Vista have been circulated for decades. Strange activity continues to be reported to this day.
This hotel has several ghosts, one of which is the phantom bell boy. Hotel guests have reported a knock at their door and in a muffled voice, someone announces “room service”. When guests open the door, they find that no one is there. Some guests however have seen the figure of a bellboy standing outside of room 210.
Room 305 is by far the most active room in the Hotel. Many guests and staff have reported seeing a woman in the rocking chair near the window and that same chair seemingly rocking by itself. There are also reports of a little boy running through the hallways and a baby crying in the basement.
