This hotel is between the road from the freeway to the center of town and a trailhead. It is a short walk to some shops and restaurants, but not easily accessible to the downtown or uptown areas without dealing with traffic. This said, it is a very decent basic place, well maintained, and with a nice pool area and a good restaurant on site. The views are very nice.

After bidding for days and being rejected on priceline for the Radisson Poco Diablo resort and Hilton, we finally gave up and found this hotel's rates cheaper and pictures even better than them. My most important features are cleanliness, nice bedding and newer bathroom. Great value. The hotel is still in motel structure but the rooms are nice, refrigerator available too.

We stayed in room 221 and our bathroom at granite countertops, a new shower head that is detachable and height adjustable, as well as a curtain rod that is round so that we don't have to touch the curtain while showering. Sink area separate from the shower/toilet which is convenient when sharing.

Beautiful view from our balcony of the Sedona landscape as well as the pool. The weather was perfect. You will need a sweater at night. Don't forget that Sedona is much cooler than Phoenix due to its higher elevation. Check out pictures.

Pet friendly hotel with non-refundable fee.

Definitely check out the restaurant Cafe Elote that's connected to the restaurants. I found great reviews and agreed with them. They are very busy and don't take reservations for parties less than 5. We put our name in at 7:30 and eventually got seated at 9pm. Good thing we were able to relax in our room while we waited.

The hotel is walking distance to Tlaquepaque Village but it was difficult for us to get there having to walk around all the construction going on.

A great location, hiking trails right behind the hotel. We stayed in a trailhead room which was very quiet and clean. They room size was very nice, larger than the standard hotel room.
Breakfast is horrible, plan on driving elsewhere for breakfast.
Elote restaurat, located in the hotel, was wonderful. Excellent service and amazing food. The hotel is centrally located to everything in the Sedona area. Most of the staff was very helppful and pleasant.

My wife and two kids (1 and 4 years olds) took a road trip to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon and Sedona. For the one evening we stayed in Sedona we ended up at the King's Ransom. Here are my thoughts:

POSITIVES:

1. Location: This is located right in the heart of Sedona and within walking distance of many of the awesome galleries (including the very cool collection of shops called Tlaquepaque.

2. Breakfast: A free continental breakfast is included with the price of the room. The breakfast had a nice selection of fruits, cereals, yogarts and patries. The cafeteria was nice and clean and had wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. An enjoyable place to start off the day.

3. Pool: The pool area was very nice (see picture).

NEUTRALS/NEGATIVES:

1. Room: This hotel is more like a motel with the ability to drive up and park right outside the door of your room. Our room was large and looked over the pool area but the furnishings were on the old side and cheap. The TV in the room was small. The bathroom needed some work, however, the shower had great water pressure. The room we stayed in could definately use have used some touch up (paint, moulding, etc.)

2. Price: I paid $130 directly through the hotel and this seemed reasonable given the prices of other lodging in the area.

3. Lobby: Very motel-ish and while the staff people were friendly they were not particularly helpful and getting information about the surrounding area.
