This motel was two-sided. The grounds are nice and it has a beautiful location. I loved the Koi pond and the creek. The jacuzzi was nice and added a romantic feel. However, the rooms are tiny and need maintenance but are still adequate. Be careful with the fireplace. The smoke is not well directed outside and we still had some in the room the next day. Also, it was clear that some of the more expensive rooms were larger, more secluded, and had nicer landscaping. Overall it was a positive experience but not worth the price. My wife and I loved Sedona and it didn't matter much where we stayed but this was better than a typical motel, but not any hotels.

Ok, the rooms needed some serious maintenance like a fresh coat of paint, etc. However, the property was gorgeous, staff was very friendly, and it's the only place that I know of where you can bring your dog. We've been coming to Sedona for Memorial Day weekend for years, and this was our first time at Oak Creek Terrace. Our girls loved being so close to the creek, taking a walk across the street to check out the jewelry from the native american vendors, and our dog loved it too! We like a little luxury in our hotel stays, but what this place lacked in the rooms, was made up for with the rest of the property. In fact, we already booked a room for next year!

Oak Creek Terrace is delightful with a warm and welcoming staff. The rooms are a bit small but the king-sized bed was comfortable. The jacuzzi built for two was romantic and relaxing. The rooms are easy walking access to Oak Creek - great for dogs to play and splash. The Creek beach has hammocks, patio swings and chairs as well as easy walking paths. Tasteful and amusing art work and sculptures dot the property, which boasts several gazebos and barbecue pits. At night, thousands of tiny white holiday lights, strung along the Inn property, compete with the stars for pure romance. Oak Creek Terrace is an exceptional value in every way -- we wouldn't stay anywhere else. There is a one-time non-refundable $35.00 pet fee but no other restrictions (crating, size). We love it!

We called around in the Sedona area looking for places that would accept our dog and Oak Creek Terrace was the only one...so, our choice was limited, to say the least. After reading the AWFUL reviews on this site, I booked a room with a great deal of reservation.

We booked the two story room with the spiral staircase and we had a GREAT TIME. Sure the decor was a tad outdated, but we were looking for something a little rustic, a little anti-W, and a little pro nature...and we found it. Our dog did not like the spiral staircase (it was her first attempt at climbing stairs...we're from Tucson), but we had a great time and it was well worth the risk.

If you're looking for urban sophistication, this ain't it. If you're looking for a quaint place to get away from the city and get close to nature, I heartily recommend the Oak Creek Resort.

Nevermind the naysayers.
