West - Sedona hotels

Last minute planning and in need of a hotel for 2 nights. We are 2 adults and a 13 year old. I looked at Trip Advisor and got sticker shock! I guess waiting until now to book for April 17 wasn't too bright but oh well, here I am.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? I've never been to Sedona before. Looking for around $200 (prefer a bit less) per night. My main priority would be a clean modern room not too far off the beaten path.

Thanks!

I see rooms for 2 at L'Auberge de Sedona for $225 a night. This is definitely one of the nicest properties in the area and the rate is about 1/2 of the usual rate - IMO it's well worth it if you can splurge a little.

Thanks. I looked into it and there's one room left. It's in the lodge with 1 king sized bed. Although we could all probably fit, we wouldn't get much sleep! :D

Anyone ever stayed at the Best Western Plus Arroyo Roble Hotel? I waiting until the last minute to book and there is not much available at a "reasonable" price in Sedona for April, Easter week. I was able to book a room in the main hotel for $220.99 a night. Thought it sounded like good deal. I;m open to suggestions about other places to stay within that same price range. Thanks!

Its a thin market and close to millions living in PHX, some of whom want to go there for Easter. Hence the volatile pricing driven by supply and demand. Great place to visit, and driving up for the day from PHX is an option. Jerome is a fun place to visit too (ghost town now filled with artists after the copper mine closed).

Perhaps staying in Flagstaff is an option? A relatively short (40 minute) drive down 89A, plus you get to come down this (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Flagstaff,+AZ&daddr=Sedona,+AZ&hl=en&geocode=FUghGQIdL4VY-SkxJi7a944thzEAs9vOoTwfjg%3BFewRFAIdoqlW-SkNsEL5MqEthzH9jmz6I8VIVQ&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.42297,111.796875&ie=UTF8&ll=35.0223,-111.734948&spn=0.029416,0.054588&t=h&z=15)...

I stayed in Flagstaff on my last trip to Sedona. At first I was skeptical about staying 45 minutes away, but it worked out fine. Route 89A was a pleasant drive. I didn't feel like the extra time spent in the car subtracted from my enjoyment. And, of course, I saved a lot of money compared to staying in Sedona.

I just spent a week in Sedona at a private home that I rented via VRBO. It was fantastic -- tons of space, a full kitchen, washer/dryer. I'll never stay in a hotel again. :)
