Booking a room in Sedona: where the hotels actually sit, the Uptown and West Sedona trade-off, resort fees, and the cheaper valley towns twenty minutes away.

The list runs from six-room inns and small motels up to large resorts and timeshare properties. Work out what you want the stay to feel like first. Sort by price after that.
Location is the decision that matters most. A lot of the addresses we hold sit on State Route 89A, and that road gives you two very different stays. Uptown puts you in walking distance of shops and restaurants, but it’s also the busiest stretch of road in town. West Sedona is quieter and closer to the trailheads on that side. You will drive to dinner. A few properties sit up Oak Creek Canyon or off the main roads entirely, which is the quietest choice and the longest drive.
Nearly every property here has a website and a phone number on record. Book direct if you want to ask a real question about a particular room. Ask whether a resort fee or amenity fee gets added on top of the nightly rate. Ask about parking. Ask how far the place really is from the part of town where you plan to spend your time, because people get that last one wrong all the time. “Sedona” covers a long stretch of highway.
Prices run high and they move with the season. Spring and fall weekends book out well ahead. If your trip is really about the wider valley, Cottonwood and Camp Verde are twenty to forty minutes out and cost less, and the Village of Oak Creek is closer than that.
Sedona sits across the line between Yavapai and Coconino counties, so a room’s taxes and its county services can differ by address.
