Guess I need to call the hotel to find out for sure, although I'm sure that
they would tell me otherwise.
Check the following web sites for more Brins Fire information than the hotel or chamber of commerce will likely give you:

Judging from the following comment in today's incident report, I might look carefully at my vacation plans if I were going to Sedona in the next week.
"Residents and visitors in the Sedona and Verde Valley areas may continue to see large quantities of smoke over the next few days resulting from additional burnout operations. Emergency measures are in place to notify the public should there be any concerns for residents. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality continues to monitor air quality on a daily basis. Smoke-related inversions should lift around 9:00 am each day."
