I have 3 Sedona reservations - please help me choose

I don't normally do this, but I don't know Sedona at all. I've never visited. I will be traveling with my college-bound daughter in a couple of weeks and we are traveling from Vegas to Sedona to Scottsdale to Tuscon via car. Apparently, this is an awfully expensive time of year to travel to this area.

I need to decide on a hotel in Sedona. Our interests are sightseeing, a little hiking (nothing cray), views, poolside lounging, good meals (she is vegetarian, I'm not), a little light shopping/boutiques.

I have 3 reseravtions:

1. L'Auberge - a spa cottage room at $480 nt (we'd have to sleep together in a king). This is so pricey and seems more romantic than anything else. It might not be right for a mom/daughter stay. But is it worth it for other reasons?

2. Amara - a studio suite for $439 nt (I cant tell if it is a suite or a studio - the description doesn't make sense) We like to sofa bed idea and like it even more if the sofa bed is in a separate room). Rooms like nice but the grounds? Eh? Pool?

3. Hilton poolview/golfview for $369 nt - I'm a pretty loyal Hilton memeber and have a small suite resrved...nothing fancy but it does give us two rooms (king +sofa bed). I can't tell how dated this hotel is. It looks a little dated in the photos.

Obviously, I'm not going for cheap...but I am not a millionaire and I always want to save a few $$, but also like to enjoy myself and stay well. We only have 2 nights in Sedona.

What would you suggest? Thanks so much!
