Sedona Resorts: Below is my recommendations for staying in Sedona. For those preferring to be pampered and are okay with spending $300-$400 a night on accommodations, my choice is the L’Auberge de Sedona. A beautiful rustic setting down on the banks of Oak Creek in the heart of Sedona’s legendary Red Rock country lies this legendary oasis of tranquility and romance. The L’Auberge Restaurant on Oak Creek is an unforgettable setting where you can savor an award-winning cuisine along with their world class selection of wine. You can also renew both your body and spirit at the Spa at L'Auberge with a myriad of indulgent therapies, calming touches and fragrant aromas.
It all depends on what you are looking for and of course the dollars you are willing to spend or have for your lodging budget... There are also many commercial traditional hotels and motels in between... But you will not find anything, quite like the Cottonwood Hotel.
Cottonwood Hotel Guests Reviews
Lovely Sedona location with an authentic touch
Lovely Cottonwood is just a bit further along than Sedona town and it's well worth it to miss the tourist trap and enjoy an unspoilt bit of this lovely part of the country. The hotel owners are friendly and go out of their way to ensure your stay is enjoyable. If you're fed up with the chain hotels and want a more genuine US experience, this is the one for you. Old Cottonwood is a lovely little town with charming restaurants and cafe's and well located for visits to historical Jerome and Montazuma's Castle. Enjoy!

Away from the tourist traps - here is an original hotel with heart and style.
We stayed three nights in Cottonwood hotel - 2 more than originally planned. Karen is a wonderful hostess and gave us great advice about where to go for hiking, sightseeing and dining. The best thing about this hotel is that it is original and homey. If you want widescreen large plasma tv and king size beds then this is not the place for you. But if you want a real Arizona experience then try Cottonwood hotel.
