Nice room and attractive property. Unfortunately the “free breakfast “ is pretty bad. Coffee is just brown water. The rest is the same mediocre stuff found at motels we won’t stay at. The hotel needs to step up their game. If you don’t want to provide something worthwhile, just drop it. I would actually stay here again but not expect anything worthwhile in the morning. The picture is something I found humorous. Evidently the guests can’t operate a shower valve, and I suppose someone managed to rip one out of the wall. Things like this make me think humanity isn’t going to make it.
The room was very nice had everything. With the exception of a top lock it was broken.they said they would send someone to fix it. I feel it should have been good to go when i walk in. We needed some ice they brought it right away. You can text them 24/7 they will always respond. Alicia and Jessica help out the most with check in and text me with all the info I needed. Also it was my birthday and the upgraded me for free.
We are so happy to have booked our single overnight stay here. We received a warm, friendly greeting from a young gentleman, who answered all our questions and made sure all our needs were met. We had a double-queen bed room that was clean with appropriate amenities. The AC worked and wasn't excessively noisy. The place was full but not noisy and we had a very restful sleep on very comfortable beds. The continental breakfast was nothing to write home about but the coffee was good (not bitter) and that is all that matters when you think about it. Over all a pleasant stay that was appropriately priced.
GGlobal01695650485I was underwhelmed, and frankly would not recommend staying here. The mountain view was over a busy road and row of buildings, with cars, exhaust, and noise a plenty. Nearby restaurants were surprisingly weak, and the shops were filled mostly with junky tourist stuff. But what really messed me up was the way the heater turned on and off throughout the night. It was either too hot or too cold and I woke up constantly. We ended up leaving a day early, loosing the money for that night as I just couldn't take it. Our room was clean, but old and tired, and it was smaller than I expected. If there was a way to get ice, we did not find it, and of course since this motel is not staffed there was no one to ask. We ended up buying ice from the grocery store a few blocks down the street. There was a fridge in the room, and I believe a microwave as well, thought we didn't use it. The personless check-in worked fine. I got a text with the door code which worked fine the first try. No worries on that front. Bottom line: Skip this place and pay up for one of the nicer places with a pleasant view. Or just skip Sedona and try one of the other mountain towns. Could I redo our trip, I would have skipped Sedona and spend time in Prescott, which had way more going on and a really fun vibe.
Amara has a unique location, very near all of the Uptown activity but also right on Oak Creek with those red rocks visible from most places in the resort. It’s got a unique U- shaped room and lobby layout with restaurant, relaxing green area and pool/jacuzzi in the middle of the U, leading down to the far infinity pool edge directly overlooking Oak Creek. We found the services to be very attentive and the restaurant was very beautifully appointed with those red rock views and a very innovative Southwester/Mexican menu. Our room was nice size with a very comfy bed and nicely appointed bath. It’s a midsize boutique hotel and not cheap but given its location and quality, worth it!!
This does not look special upon arrival but, the staff was friendly and attentive. Check-in went off seamlessly. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. They seemed to have thought of everything, including additional rags to clean your shoes after a day of red rock hiking. The patio with views of the red rocks was really nice. It's location was excellent, within walking distance of restaurants, shopping. The Tlaquepaque Shopping Village is only a 5 minute walk from your room, providing many shops, galleries and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoys our stay here.
I have stayed at The Orchards Inn twice now, my parents on many occasions and it is just the most wonderful hotel. The rooms are so beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the beds are the comfiest I have ever slept in. The real highlight is the incredible views from the balcony of the red rock and landscape, just stunning early morning or evening and the stars are incredible. It is quiet and the most amazing location right in the heart of Sedona. I can't recommend this hotel enough from every perspective. The guy who works on the front desk from NZ is so helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Currently they are awaiting renovation to reinstall the pool, which is the only missing feature. You can use the facilities at The Auberge which is down by the river (bear in mind it has a Vegas vibe of loud music blaring out all day), but that hotel has nothing on Orchards Inn and has a very swanky vibe whereas Orchards Inn doesn't need all those fancy frills adding on, it is wonderful in its own charm and authenticity. It is quietly exquisite in every way and I really hope it doesn't go too upmarket like The Auberge and maintains its wonderful identity just as it is. It is a magical place for me and my family and we cannot wait to return again soon! Always feels like coming home.
