Hotels, motels, and resorts across the Verde Valley

Hotels and motels across the Verde Valley, most in Sedona, with independents clustered in Cottonwood and Camp Verde. Also why we can't give a nightly rate.

We list hotels, motels, and resorts across the valley. Sedona has the most by a wide margin, which fits, since it’s the main tourist draw. Cottonwood and Camp Verde come next. Clarkdale, Jerome, and Verde Village each have a small handful, and Cornville and Village of Oak Creek have one apiece. If you’re here to see the whole valley and not just Sedona, look at the smaller towns. Old Town Cottonwood and Camp Verde both put you closer to Jerome, Clarkdale, and the Verde River.

Chains versus independent: A good number are names you’ll recognize. Best Western, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, Days Inn, Marriott’s Springhill Suites and Courtyard, Hilton, Super 8, and a few resort brands in Sedona. Most of the rest are independently run motels, inns, and resorts.

We don’t have rates. Only a few listings carry opening-hours-style data, and not one has a nightly rate on file. Prices and availability move too fast for a directory to keep up with, so every listing sends you to the property’s own site or phone number to book.

Worth knowing about: Cliff Castle Casino Hotel in Camp Verde is run by the Yavapai-Apache Nation, and there’s a good deal more to it than a bed. It has a concert venue, the Stargazer Pavilion, along with an event center, a 21-and-over nightclub, and an RV resort attached, Distant Drums. Outside Sedona proper, it’s one of the bigger draws in the valley.

A share of listings are marked dog-friendly on their own sites. Most say nothing either way, so check the listing before you count on it.
