What guests think

At Sedona Hilltop Inn, travellers consistently praise the central, walkable location and striking red rock views, along with friendly, hands-on staff and clean, comfortable rooms that suit guests looking for a simple base rather than resort-style amenities.

The property is an updated older motel with a shared patio and parking at the door, offering a straightforward, no-frills setup. Common drawbacks include an often out-of-service ice machine, very firm mattresses, compact bathrooms, some road noise, and limited front-desk hours. Expect a simple, convenient stay with great access to Sedona.

Property old but clean. At checkin we were told that the ice machine was broken so we should go to a gas station and buy some ice. Seemed that the checkin guy was very lazy

Looking for the ice machine, I found it with a note plastered to it "ice machine not working". Wondering if there is another one an employee says to go to the Dairy Queen across the street.

Fantastic experience at this location. The location is great with everything important at walking distance along with the Art district. Excellent views from the room, patio and the parking space. Actually parking is in front of the rooms with each room having a seating area in front of them. The rooms are clean and tidy with all amenities. Bathroom was clean and we felt good staying there. The office closes off at 9 pm and reopens at 8:30 am. As we checked out before that, we had to leave our keys in the room. We paid around $256 for one night and given the popularity of Sedona during spring and all high costs around, this felt justifiable. Overall the location and the views are king for this accommodation. A 5/5 experience.

Nice place overall. Great location. An older hotel updated. The ice machine did not work and hasn't for over a year as we were informed. If that's an issue, find another place. The beds were comfy and the view of the rocks very nice. No breakfast served here but there are good places within walking distance.

The property was fine. My only issue was that the ice machine was out of order and I was told I could go across the street for a "bag" of ice. I only needed a few cubes for a drink. They should have told me this at check in. They could have had a cooler in the lobby with a bag of ice. There are not many rooms so it wouldn't have been a big deal.

The reception desk isn’t always open, but when I did check in, the clerk walked me to the room, showed me how everything worked and even called the next day to see if there was anything I needed. The room was spotless, and things like shampoo, toilet paper, etc. were replaced daily. The refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker all worked well, and were conveniently located. There was even a small table and two chairs to use for light meals when we didn’t feel like going out. The lighting was exceptional. Most motel rooms have low lighting at best, but this room had canned lights so there was plenty of light to see and read by. The linens were clean, but a bit aged, so they weren’t the softest, but there were plenty of them for our use, and they were replaced daily.

When we walked in the room, it was really warm inside because the AC was not on. The AC unit took a long time to cool down the room, we went out and had dinner, came back, the room was still not quite cooled. Other than that, it’s clean and the pillows fit me perfectly, it’s rare cause usually they are too thick for me.

Very convenient location for visiting Sedona. Comfortable room with basic amenities. Nothing fancy, just a row of rooms in the typical motel style. Picture shown on Hotels.com is of the office and is not representative of the motel or it's rooms. Would stay here again for it's great location in town. You can walk to most of the downtown locations which matters when traffic gets bad (which is common now in Sedona).

There was stunning art in the lobby, and the front desk people were lovely and helpful. The view across the road was beautiful. The m/hotel was conveniently located within walking distance to shops and the art district just down the hill. The only downside was that the small block of rooms was just a renovated strip motel, so there was noise coming through the walls from other rooms. I missed having a desk or table to work on my laptop in the evening.

Inn was old but clean. Air conditioner was a window type in the bathroom area. Did not cool well. No ice machine and from 8 at night to 8 am no one on property. Upon check out the would not provide a receipt. Certainly centrally located but there were times you could not exit due to traffic. As a solo traveler I did not feel safe.

Gentleman at registration could have been a bit more friendly. My husband and I found him to be a bit condecending. Hotel was quaint and had lovely retro decor feel to it. We loved that the parking was right outside our room door. View outside our front window was very nice. room was very spacious. Bed however, was lumpy and uncomfortable, it seems to have an old foam mattress. I had a lot of trouble sleeping on it. The heavy iron chairs was also uncomfortable, seat cushions thin and worn out. Bed and furniture needs updating. Comfort was hard to find in this room. Price was a bit steep for an uncomfortable room. Not very likely we'd recommend or stay here again.

This is an avoid at all costs property. Having advised via Expedia I would be a day late, they cancelled my booking anyway leaving me with no where to stay. The front desk man was rude (swore at me when I complained) and was aggressive. Things got no better when I asked to see the manager who told me it was all my fault. When I said I would take it up with Expedia she said I could take it up with President Trump for all she cared. Looks like I dodged a bullet staying here as it didn’t feel at all safe and was located next to a busy traffic roundabout. I’m hoping Expedia will refund my charges due to no the awful experience and inconvenience

This was an excellent hotel with great service. Its renovated design blends beautifully into the Sedona red rocks around it. It’s a renovated older motel and still retains some vintage flair but with updated amenities and lots of art. Also the patio is beautiful. Walking distance to art,shopping, and tons of restaurants. We would stay here again.
