Hotels are REALLY expensive up there. My fiance and I usually stay at the Red Rock Inn. It's not super nice but it's not sleazy either. There are a bunch of little shops and art galleries around Sedona. And there are also several "vortex" sites. We wanted to look into these last time but we didn't get a chance to. You might also want to stop by Jerome on your way back to Glendale. It's considered a "ghost town" but there are people that still live there. It's a tiny little town but it's kind of neat to see a really old town like that. Have fun! Source(s): Born and raised in Phoenix. Currently living in Glendale. Other Travel Tips Some of the more moderately priced Hotels in Sedona are located in West Sedona (Route 89A) a mile from the downtown area. Many excellent restaurants in the area. You can take a Red Rocks Jeep tour (2 hours) or take the scenic narrated Trolley tour around Sedona. There's some decent Factory Outlet shops in the Village of Oak Creek (Route 179) which is about 4-5 miles before you get into Sedona. Most of the wonderful Red Rock scenery can be viewed from your car ( the hiking is superb) and by driving North up Oak Creek Canyon (Route 89). The Hampton Inn in West Sedona is nice without breaking the bank. Been to Sedona many times from Phoenix. The Cathedral Rock church is awesome...great view!! You can also see the 3 nuns (rocks that look like nuns). Ther eis also the Snoopy Rock that's pretty cool. Any hiking is awesome and yes, you can pay for a jeep tour to take you around. They are fun!!
