<p>We’re considering a trip to Sedona this summer and would welcome input on accommodation there. We don’t want to spend a ton of money as we are discovering the area can be quite expensive. Would like a nice room for the 2 of us for about 4 nights. We don’t require lots of ‘bells and whistles’. Plan to hike and take in the sights. We’re actually on our way to the Grand Canyon and Zion. Might consider a B&B, although DH isn’t really a fan.</p>
<p>I cannot speak to the hotels in Sedona, we stayed in Flagstaff and took a day trip to Sedona. It was a fun outing, nice to walk around, see the shops, etc, but just for the one day. After that is was back to parks for us- Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Glen Canyon, etc</p>
<p>Skyranch Lodge. It’s a hidden gem, at least it was when I visited Sedona a few years ago. At the time it was so reasonably priced (around 2002, about $85). The complex sits on top of a mesa, where the small airport is (which you are not even aware of). On the road going up the mesa, there an outlook that’s popular with the locals who bring a glass of wine and a chair to watch the spectacular sunset.
Low slung Ranch style units with wonderful gardens. The mesa is also a known vortex, if you’re into that kind of thing. The little airport nearby has a great breakfast.
A place to visit (but not stay as it’s very expensive, but superb) is Enchantment Resort, in Boynton Canyon (which has fabulous hiking trails).</p>
<p>Beil1958: Do a CC search. There was a thread on suggestions for visiting/staying in the Sedona/Phoenix area not too long ago. I remember posting on it and people had many really good suggestions.</p>
<p>I was just there last week. We stayed at the Best Western Arroyo Roble…there are 5 of us, so we got the 2 bedroom cottage, but we got a great rate through the Entertainment Book. You need to decide if you want to be right on the “strip” (89A toward Flagstaff), further out, or in the town of Oak Creek (I think that’s the name of the town that you come to from 17 before Sedona.)</p>
<p>Sedona is really beautiful. The best meal we had was at the Barking Frog.</p>
<p>Missypie, is the Entertainment Book specific to Arizona? Would an east coast Entertainment Book have the same rate? Not too familiar with those books. Bought one from a neighbor kid a few years ago, forgot about and never used a single page!</p>
