BEST WESTERN PLUS ARROYO ROBLE HOTEL & CREEKSIDE VILLAS, Sedona

The hotel sits at the north end of Uptown Sedona's main strip, placing visitors directly within walking distance of numerous dining options (Cowboy Club Grille & Spirits, Theia's, Oaxaca Restaurant, SaltRock Southwest Kitchen, and more all within 0.5 km), boutique shopping, and adventure tour companies such as Pink Jeep Tours and Sedona Trolley Tours. The Chamber of Commerce information centre is also nearby for trail advice. For outdoor recreation, Slide Rock State Park is a 15-minute drive, and the Sedona Golf Resort is 15 minutes by car. The property offers on-site parking, so once you arrive, you can easily explore the town without needing to drive. The property also has grounds that lead down to Oak Creek, providing a natural escape within the urban setting.

Standard room amenities include air conditioning, heating, a safe, and a hairdryer. Patio-view rooms are on the ground floor, while balcony rooms are on the 2nd through 5th floors and offer a more elevated, private viewpoint. Many rooms are equipped with a gas fireplace and a sofa bed, and select units feature a kitchenette (microwave, refrigerator). The villa-style units offer a kitchen, a washing machine, and river views but do not have a direct red rock view. While the rooms are known for their spectacular outlooks and comfortable beds, the property's age means decor and fixtures (bathrooms, carpets, curtains) are showing wear, and some rooms may feel dark even with all lights on. A small number of units have accessibility features such as a roll-in shower, shower seat, and grab bars.

The breakfast room provides a standard hot buffet that includes scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, a rotating egg casserole, potatoes, waffles, fresh fruit (cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple), yogurt, cereals, breads, and pastries. The breakfast staff is noted for being welcoming and attentive. The hotel does not have a full-service restaurant or bar for lunch or dinner; however, the surrounding Uptown area offers a wide variety of dining options-from Southwestern cuisine to Italian and ice cream parlours-all within a short walk. A vending machine for drinks is available on-site. Those planning early hikes should note that breakfast service starts at 7:00 AM, which may be later than some wish to depart.

The indoor pool is open year-round from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, while the outdoor pools are heated and include one with a fence and pool with a view. Pool/beach towels are provided. The clubhouse (a short walk away) houses the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and fitness centre, plus a game room with two billiards tables, table tennis, and table football. Outdoor amenities include lighted tennis courts, racquetball courts, BBQ facilities, and a children's playground. The outdoor pool near the hotel offers a scenic setting with mountain views. While the wellness facilities are functional and appreciated, they are older and may not feel premium. The fitness centre is basic.

Services include concierge assistance, fax/photocopying (fee), and a welcome drink. The front desk is available around the clock, and luggage storage is free, which is useful for early arrivals or late departures. Guest laundry is available for an additional charge. Safety features include key card access, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and safety deposit boxes (free). The hotel has a lift, air conditioning, and designated smoking areas. Accessible parking is available. While the hotel does not offer daily automatic housekeeping, staff can provide fresh towels and toiletries upon request.
