Score breakdown
How the 62/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
70- “Even the robes and slippers were black in order to not clash with the aesthetic. I actually took pictures of the bathroom for inspiration since we're doing a redesign in one of our bathrooms at home.” 2
- “The bathroom was split with the shower and toilet with a door separated from the sink, which was great for our family.” 11
Food
89- “Now, let's get to the best part, the food and the fun. You can start every single morning the right way with a delicious complimentary breakfast. It is such a game-changer to wake up, grab a hot meal, and head out for the day without having to hunt for a cafe.” 31:46
- “The coffee was pre-ground and measured out for 2 people (so cute!), and the non-liquor minibar/snack items were complimentary (we very much wish we'd taken some of these to go since we paid $55 for drinks and snacks at the Enchantment market later).” 2
Location
83- “Thankfully, it's really close to many other great restaurant options (one positive for being right off the main ro” 2
- “The west Sedona locations of Days Inn and Hampton Inn are about 4 miles out from the uptown tourist area, are much more quiet, but are in good locations for restaurants and grocery shopping and most of all, close to the best condensed area for hiking (IMO) which is in west Sedona (trails off of Dry Creek rd. area).” 10
Noise
90- “Ambiente was right off a main road/highway in Sedona, and I was worried about the noise, but we didn't hear a thing and I forgot about it entirely (maybe this depends on the location of your casita, though).” 2
- “Ambiente was right off a main road/highway in Sedona, and I was worried about the noise, but we didn't hear a t” 2
Room
68- “We ended up getting an upgrade and staying in Room 32, which I believe is technically a Forest View room (thanks again @alex_travels), but because of its positioning, has a straight-on view of the creek, the trees, the pool, and the red rocks! I was so stoked about the view, and it was really fun doing the automatic blinds for sunrise in the morning to such a beautiful view.” 2
- “Overall, as we looked at the hotel from the lobby to the hotel room, we found it absolutely immaculate and clean (unlike our stay in Phoenix at the same Hilton chain).” 11

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The room had two pretty comfortable beds (I might be biased because we did some strenuous hikes during the day) each with four pillows.” 11
- “The living space had a pullout sofa which the kids absolutely loved.” 11
- “Overall, as we looked at the hotel from the lobby to the hotel room, we found it absolutely immaculate and clean (unlike our stay in Phoenix at the same Hilton chain).” 11
- “We ended up getting an upgrade and staying in Room 32, which I believe is technically a Forest View room (thanks again @alex_travels), but because of its positioning, has a straight-on view of the creek, the trees, the pool, and the red rocks! I was so stoked about the view, and it was really fun doing the automatic blinds for sunrise in the morning to such a beautiful view.” 2
- “The actual room itself is like if Restoration Hardware went to NYU for a year, and came back with a massive budget to back up the vision. It was moody, but offset by hints of plushness (and the beautiful copper fixtures everywhere; and the giant charcoal tub in every room!).” 2
- “The inside decor is old. Carpet, furniture all look old.” 1
- “Best Western Inn of Sedona is just south of 'town;' is reasonably priced (for Sedona); and has a fabulous view.” 10
- “Now, let's get to the best part, the food and the fun. You can start every single morning the right way with a delicious complimentary breakfast. It is such a game-changer to wake up, grab a hot meal, and head out for the day without having to hunt for a cafe.” On camera31:46
- “Morning breakfast was included. It has meat, egg, pastry and fruits. But the quality was not as good as most of the hotels we've been.” 1
- “The coffee in hotel lobby was stale and not very hot. It tasted bitter and I had to pour away.” 1
- “The coffee was pre-ground and measured out for 2 people (so cute!), and the non-liquor minibar/snack items were complimentary (we very much wish we'd taken some of these to go since we paid $55 for drinks and snacks at the Enchantment market later).” 2
- “Food: They have one restaurant (Forty1) that was delicious, but if I was staying longer, I think I would have gotten a little bored with the same menu.” 2
- “Room service does not actually bring food to your room. We had ordered 4 ice creams for the kids to the room, but we had to actually go downstairs and get it ourselves.” 11
- “I could have kicked myself for not bringing a drone for this place. They have one restaurant (Forty1) that was delicious, but if I was staying longer, I think I would have gotten a little bored with the same menu.” 2
- “Overall, it was pretty expensive for just a hotel.” 11
- “For our family of 4 kids and 2 adults, it turn out to be around $822 a night for two nights over spring break in April. This was quite high, considering that our hotel stay at Disney World for a villa suite was this price for four nights.” 11
- “I stayed at Wildflower once, was fine for what you are looking for. Trails close etc, price pretty good too.” 9
- “At 42,000 Hilton points, the total point value is about $210. For the service offered, this was not a really good value.” 1
- “La Quinta in Oak creek can be the ticket. Clean and great access to many things. Surprisingly cheap sometimes.” 9
- “Avoid the Best Western Inn of Sedona. Although it has great views, the attitued of the management staff is terrible.” 10
- “Everything is kept sparkling clean with daily housekeeping and since the entire hotel is non-smoking, the air always feels so fresh and crisp.” On camera31:18
- “Then after about 40 minutes, some lady returned. No apologies, no explanation.” 1
- “The staff at the front desk are absolute superstars, too. They are so helpful with concierge services, luggage storage, and anything else you might need to make your trip smooth.” On camera31:05
- “The hotel was super clean and the staff were really friendly.” 11
- “As it is, the vibe, the experience, and the enthusiastic joy of the staff made it a 5 star experience for us.” 2
- “There was also a level of enthusiasm and joy that I've only seen at a few hotels-the employee who took us on the golf cart to our room couldn't help but tell us all of the cool things about the property and how much he loved it (reminded me of the first time we went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel in NY); it just felt really genuine.” 2
- “Avoid the Best Western Inn of Sedona. Although it has great views, the attitued of the management staff is terrible. My wife and I have just stayed there and we had cosmetics stolen from our locked room, obviously by the housekeeping staff. The front desk management did NOTHING to help and were rude.” 10
- “Bell Rock is my favorite hotel in Sedona. The rooms are great, the pool is nice, and they have the best Prickly Pear margaritas at the bar.” 4
- “Service: Man, this was awesome! Valet took our car and bags, we were greeted by name by everyone in the lobby, champagne toast at check-in (and in the room, thanks @alex_travels!).” 2
- “Ambiente was right off a main road/highway in Sedona, and I was worried about the noise, but we didn't hear a t” 2
- “Ambiente was right off a main road/highway in Sedona, and I was worried about the noise, but we didn't hear a thing and I forgot about it entirely (maybe this depends on the location of your casita, though).” 2
- “Squarely aimed at road-trippers, much less at anyone requiring quiet air conditioning.” 5
- “I'll talk about this more in the next review, but Enchantment actually had more ambient noise from the next room over compared to Ambiente, which was silent for us.” 2
- “The west Sedona locations of Days Inn and Hampton Inn are about 4 miles out from the uptown tourist area, are much more quiet, but are in good locations for restaurants and grocery shopping and most of all, close to the best condensed area for hiking (IMO) which is in west Sedona (trails off of Dry Creek rd. area).” 10
