The 20-room, mid-range Oak Creek Terrace Resort is a rustic, family-owned and -operated hotel in Oak Creek Canyon, just north of Sedona.

Each room -- some are standalone cottages, others are in the main building -- has different features, such as screened patios, but all have romantic wood-burning fireplaces and whirlpool tubs for two.

Los Abrigados occupies an excellent location near Uptown Sedona, with Oak Creek running past the property, and shopping and dining next door at the lovely Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village. The grounds are gorgeous and include a mini-golf course. However, the rooms -- though most are large, with kitchenettes and balconies -- could use an update. More modern rooms in Uptown Sedona can be had at a similar price point at the Best Western Arroyo Roble.

The mid-range Hilton Sedona has features to please both families and business travelers, including several pools, event services, the enormous spa, and a neighboring golf course. The Hilton is a 20-minute drive from Sedona, but red rock views are still spectacular (from certain rooms) and the atmosphere is more relaxed than in Uptown. You'll have to pay for Wi-Fi, though -- unlike at the nearby Bell Rock Inn.

The Desert Quail Inn offers large rooms at a rate that is difficult to match in the Sedona area. Located in the Village of Oak Creek, it's about seven miles from Sedona, but the area has the same stunning scenery while being much less touristy. There is no on-site restaurant or bar, but the hotel does have a small pool and is in close proximity to some of the region's best hiking trails. It's a good base for families on budget, or those who plan on spending more time out hiking versus lounging. Those wanting a room with a view and a few more amenities might consider the Bell Rock Inn for slightly higher rates.
