Nestled next to a picturesque stretch of highway in the Village of Oak Creek, the mid-range Bell Rock Inn is a family-friendly property for which affordable rates, self-catering facilities, proximity to hike trails, and quiet atmosphere are the main highlights. Its 85 earth-toned Studios and One or Two-Bedroom Suites are big, clean, and come with either kitchenettes or kitchens. Though somewhat dated, rooms are practical and well-maintained, with pullout sofas, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and sitting areas. Many have patios or balconies, and upgraded units add fireplaces and beautiful red rock views. Amenities include two outdoor heated pools, a hot tub, two barbecue picnic areas, and a basic gym. There’s no restaurant, though eateries are within walking distance. The low-key atmosphere is a plus, but expect a 15-minute drive into Sedona. It's worth considering the more homey Las Posadas of Sedona.

The upper-middle-range Las Posadas offers 20 spacious, bed-and-breakfast-style suites in a quiet corner of Sedona, seven miles from the busy Uptown area. Guests come for the huge suites with kitchenettes, living rooms, and fireplaces, as well as the homey atmosphere, which extras like the three-course gourmet breakfast, daily appetizers, and cookies (all free) help create. But don't expect much in the way of amenities -- the property lacks a pool and on-site fitness area.

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.

The lower-middle-range Sedona Ridge is just off Highway 179 in the Village of Oak Creek, with 118 rooms housed in 23 tan stucco buildings on a sprawling property. The red rocks are far from the Ridge, so views of them are limited, but good views exist of the surrounding desert landscape, especially from the two heated pools. Rooms have kitchenettes, but many guests will have to drive from the lobby to reach them. Guests wanting better views at a similar price point should consider the Bell Rock Inn.

The five-room Cozy Cactus Bed and Breakfast is a warm, welcoming, and affordable Sedona bed-and-breakfast in a quiet neighborhood overlooking stunning Bell Rock, with a hiking trail through the red rocks that begins just outside the hotel's back gate. Their slogan -- "Not fancy… Fabulous!" -- perfectly captures the vibe of this relaxed, family-run hotel, offering exceptional views and personal attention. Each room is different, but all have kitchenettes, king beds, private entrances, and homey Southwestern decor. The free, three-course breakfast is exceptionally popular. Those who are willing to trade the intimate, special vibe for more features (such as a pool) may want to compare prices with the Sedona Rouge.
