My husband and I stayed here from March 21-23, 2008 (Easter weekend). The hotel is located in Sedona, where as some of the hotels are out of Sedona. This made it nice to be close to things, and not such much in the "tourist trap" areas. The hotel is nice overall.
The room upon first glance was not what we expected. We stayed in a Trailhead room with two Queens (prefered King, but said they were sold out). I would definately recommend the Trailhead rooms if you want any sort of privacy. The courtyard rooms share a balcony and are quite close together. The room was clean. We stayed on the second floor and it the floor creaked alot, we kept wondering what the first floor was hearing. Also no elevators, just stairs and it gets kinda of dark at night. They have tried to update the bedding, and bathrooms. Tubs have jets, bath and body works toiletries, mini fridge, hairdryer, and the room was very spacious. Our room had a decent view (see pics attached), and overall was about a 3 star rating. For the price in Sedona on Easter weekend it was good. I don't think we would want to stay here for more than a weekend get away.
The pool was nice and new. They had great lounge chairs and a good set up. However, we went to the Hot Tub one night, and it was gross. There was black grime around the rim, and the water was luke warm. It was chilly at night say mid 40's F and to jump into water that is only 80 F was a shock. Go to the pool, skip the Hot Tub and use your tub in your room.
The "Elote Cafe" was again good. The food was good, but overpriced. The service was slow, but accurate. Good views of Sedona (especially to see the sunset), but only if you want to pay the price to eat there. You can go up to the Sedona airport and have an even better view (gets very crowed) for free. There is a grocery store, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Quiznoes, etc in town for quick eats, and many more restuarants to try out.
They did have a computer to use for free internet, charged .10 cents a page to print anything. We used several times to look for other restuarants, print plane tickets, and maps.
