Don't go! Just don't go.
We were the only people there:it's derelict.No guests & no staff.It's all run remotely and is moving away from being a hotel to being AirBnB.Expedia clearly do no due diligence and were not interested in my concerns about the place before or during our stay.
If you do still go there for it's good location beware:
1) They have hidden costs. The owners ignore the deal done with Expedia and charge an exorbitant deposit for which they then make a non refundable charge to you for taking!
2) They ignore your deal with Expedia - that is for check in at 3pm and out at 11am. The owners send you a new unilateral contract (they already have your money by now so this is under duress) demanding you don't arrive till 4pm and have to be out by 10am. Furthermore, if you exceed that they charge approx the room per hour - and of course they already have multiple times the cost of your stay in the deposit they unilaterally demand (I've never had to pay a deposit of twice the stay cost before!!)
3) They absolve themselves of all liability for anything. The contract they demand you sign 2 days before arrival or they will cancel the booking very clearly says they accept no liability for theft, damage, failure to deliver their service to you or lack of utilities (water, electricity, air conditioning etc)
Finally, since it is unattended and rooms require an entry code you better have access to your own mobile internet when you get there or you won't receive the entry code.

Great location and the room was nice. The check-in process was clumsy at best. They do not have a person on site. You were supposed to receive an email with your room number and door code but the email I received did not have either item. They did have a phone number to call on the front door, and eventually I was able to get the room and code. Everything else was good.

Person at the front desk was nice. Check in was at 3 but we weren't able to check in until almost 4.we were told after the fact that the hotel just changed hands and they are working out the kinks. Refrigerator was shut off when we got in the room and took a out two hours to get cool enough to put our food and drinks in. If you are a tall person, this isn't a place for you to sleep. Beds are a bit short and have end railings so your feet can't hang off. Bed and pillows were comfortable and the room was very clean. Plenty of shops and food to walk to.

I would definitely stay there again. The price was right, and it was an ideal location for us. There were restaurants we could walk to. The front desk is not attended after hours and was not open when we left so we left the key in the room as instructed when we checked in. We found the room neat had a good TV good heat, nice shower and all the other things that are typically provided in a hotel room. The room was a little dated, but it was perfect for us on this trip.

PROS: great location; walkable to many shops and restaurants. Clean room
CONS: More of a motel than a “boutique” hotel. Room needs updating. Torn carpet, broken mirror and the bathroom was tiny and very old. Outdoor chairs were very worn, some had torn cushions

Super bare bones. Old school door locks (no extra keys, etc.). No amenities (there was an ice machine and a vending machine but nothing else. The walls are not thick and you could hear the neighbors quite easy. Only a front window to the parking lot, so no views - all the rooms are the same on that. It is truly a budget motel. The room was clean, bathroom was super tight but clean. Old carpets, but the bed was decent. The location was great and the price was acceptable considering the costs of other places that weekend - but then you get what you pay for. Staff did not impress, but then there is only one at the desk if they were there. If you just need a place to lay down it is fine, but if you want some nice comforts, a really good bath/shower after hiking, then you may want to look elsewhere.

This hotel was very clean and the location cannot be beat! The beds and pillows were not the best and the sofa outside was clearly very aged. Most people didn't use them as they faced the street and were visible to everyone, but I understand it was a nice touch to have as they faced the beautiful red rocks scenery. Overall we had a great stay! I would definitely go back again.

The hotel location is great, but Sedona isn't that big, so anywhere in Sedona would be great. The mattress was very soft. We joked about needing a helping hand to pull us out of the mattress in the morning. The bathroom was very small, the inswing door covered almost all of the floor, but it was functional so no big deal for us.

This is an older hotel. It was clean and fine for one night. It is in a great location for walking around Sedona. The traffic with all the roundabouts is awful!!! This hotel is in walking distance to food and shopping. It isn't fancy, and the picture is deceiving. We weren't disappointed, but we had to walk to get good views of the landscape around us.

Rooms were updated and very clean. Conveniently located to everything in Sedona. By looking at the pictures you would have no idea this is more of a roadside motel right on the main rode that runs through Sedona. The traffic is constant from 6am to 11pm, generating lots of road noise that can be heard while in the room.

This is very well-situated in terms of being just off the center of the shopping - entirely walkable. The trade-off is there is some traffic noise, although quiet enough at night. Decent view of red rock bluffs although across the street. Notes: 1. room could use a comfy chair. 2. office was posted as closed for 15 minutes right at check-out time - a bit inconvenient. Otherwise very good indeed and will book there again.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights during the last week of February 2026. The location was close to the Tlaquepaque center and literally was a 5 minute walk to the Oak Creek Brewery Grill and other shops. We did have a little bit of a trek to the uptown Sedona area (~15 minutes each way) but the weather was great and the views were scenic. The rooms are somewhat updated and were large and comfortable, but the bed was a bit stiff and seemed like it was a memory foam mattress. The bathroom sink was a little low, but everything functioned well and the price was great. The only thing to keep in mind is there is no balcony so the “mountain view” is from the door where they do have a couch next to it so you can sit there to admire the view. There is also a balcony type area at the end of all the rooms where you can also sit and lounge too, but was not mentioned to us initially by the front desk person until we found it ourselves. The noise level was a bit much as we were off her main highway street that ran through and the walls were on the thinner side, so you could hear your neighbors and any large trucks driving by early in the morning. Overall, the price really can’t be beat and the location was great.

Room was in good condition, but carpet is a weird choice and not having a bathroom in the lobby is annoying. We checked out and on our way out, my wife had to use the restroom so she asked if she could use the lobby since we had just returned the key, but they informed us they don't have a restroom. All lobbies for hotels should have a restroom.

Everything is within walking distance, except for the red rocks, which you will have to drive to in order to feel their splendor. The room was neat, no frills. The television was standard, which means the sound is subpar without a sound bar; and I couldn’t find the instructions to access my streaming channels. Overall, a convenient, comfortable stay.
